The 36-year-old world number two opted to follow the same plan
as last year, when he missed the European claycourt season, including the
French Open, before making a comeback in Stuttgart.
Federer lost to German Tommy Haas in
Stuttgart last year but the Swiss went on to win his ninth title at Halle
before marching to his eighth Wimbledon triumph.
Defending champion Lucas Pouille,
Canadian Milos Raonic, Next Gen ATP finals winner Hyeon Chung and Australian
Nick Kyrgios will also compete at the Mercedes Cup from June 11-17.
Federer, 20-times grand slam winner, is also
expected to bid for a record 10th title at the Halle Open starting on June 18.
