Federer says priority is to be number one

12:14 pm on 12 March 2011

Roger Federer says his priority in the coming months is to reclaim the No.1 world tennis ranking, but before he can do that Swiss star knows he has to start winning Grand Slam titles again.

Federer's only played three tournaments this year and hasn't made the final of the last four Grand Slams.

That's a far cry from 2006 and 2007 when he won six of eight Grand Slam events.

Federer, a 16-time grand slam winner, says he's been playing well over the past six months and that's what he looks at rather than the fact he's failed to make it to the final of the last four Grand Slams.

Federer will play his first match at the Indian Wells WTA and ATP Masters Series tournament this weekend after receiving a first round bye.
