(Reuters) - Former world number one Roger Federer said on Friday he was excited to return to competitive tennis at next week's Qatar Open after a year-long absence. It's been a year since my last event," Federer, 39, said in a video posted on his Twitter feed. "I can tell I'm very excited... it's been a long and hard road. I know I'm not at the finish line yet but it's good, I feel I'm in a good place, I've been practising very well and I just feel really pumped up." The Doha Open starts on Monday.
