FEDERER BACKS SQUASH FOR 2020 OLYMPICS

World No2 Roger Federer is backing Squash to be added to the Olympic Games programme in 2020.

"I think it's a wonderful sport. It's unfortunate some sports don't get the opportunity to be in the Olympics," said Federer. "I think squash would deserve it. They run a great tour and they have great players and characters. I'd personally be very happy for them."

The 17-time major champion had the opportunity to meet women's squash world No1 Nicol David at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam. Federer expressed his support to David and revealed he played the sport growing up.
