Swiss tennis player Roger Federer confirmed on Tuesday his return at the Hopman Cup in January, six months after his defeat in the Wimbledon semi-finals.

After the Wimbledon tournament, the winner of 17 grand slam titles stayed out of competitions to recover from a left knee injury.

The 35-year-old Swiss confirmed through his Twitter account that he is "healthy and ready" to return.

Federer, who dropped to No.16 in the ATP rankings, will offer his fans the chance to watch his training live on Thursday in Dubai through Twitter and Periscope.
