Federer in Italy for Davis Cup

"I never had any doubt about coming," said Federer, wearing the red jacket of the Swiss team. "The doubts were created by others. It certainly wasn't me."

Winning the Davis Cup is one of the few achievements missing from Federer's long list of accomplishments. He missed the first round of this year's competition in March with a back injury, and the Swiss team lost to the United States 4-1.
The World Group playoffs begin Friday on the red clay courts at the Valletta Cambiaso club.

"I obviously have to get over my jet lag, considering the fact that I'm coming from New York, but everything else is fine," Federer said, according to the Italian tennis federation.

Stanislas Wawrinka, Stephane Bohli and Marco Chiudinelli are also on Switzerland's team, while Italy will use Andreas Seppi, Simone Bolelli, Fabio Fognini and Potito Starace.
