Roger Federer has made a surprise withdrawal from Dubai after contracting a lung infection which doctors say will take a fortnight to clear.

According to the ATP, he picked up the problem last week after returning from Ethiopia.

His place in the draw will be replaced by Tommy Robredo.

If he makes his recovery in two weeks, he’ll play Indian Wells.
