ATP - 'A WONDERFUL PREPARATION'
After his 6-1 6-3 win over Stanislas Wawrinka in the AAMI Classic Roger described it as "wonderful preparation" for the Australian Open.
Roger did not make his Davis Cup teammate any presents, displaying breathtaking tennis in front of a sell-out crowd during 57 minutes. He broke three times in the opening set before wrapping it up in 27 minutes. He was in no mood to hang about ahead of his Australian Open first-round clash against Andreas Seppi and closed out the second set in spectacular fashion.
"It was a wonderful preparation for all the players for the Australian Open. I don't want to get too excited about it - but I think I played a really great match today against Stan," said our 13-time grand slam champion after collecting his trophy. "I'm happy I played my best tennis at the very end."
Roger will play his first round at the Australian Open against Andreas Seppi on Monday.
Fed Disses Murray Being Fav
Here is some video of Federer’s interview where he states that he doesn’t really believe Andy Murray should be the favorite going into this week Australian Open. I don’t know if it is Roger’s cockiness or if he still doesn’t believe yet that Murray is that good but one thing is for sure and that is I would love to see these two meet up in the tourny.
ATP - ROGER FLIES INTO FINAL
Roger got in a good workout as he won the semifinal of the AAMI Classic today, holding off Spain's Fernando Verdasco 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5) at the Australian Open tune-up event.
"I'll play enough tennis this week, it's better to be on the match court," said our champ. "The second set wasn't the best of levels, he was struggling with the sun and I couldn't capitalise." After advancing on opening day in 57 minutes against Carlos Moya, Roger said that going three sets was fine.
He will await the winner of Friday's Promotion round match at the eight-man Australian Open tune-up, which will see his Davis Cup teammate Stan Wawrinka face Chile's Fernando Gonzalez.
ATP - ROGER STARTS SUCCESSFULLY
Roger has started his preparation for the Australian Open well. He defeated Spaniard Carlos Moya in the AAMI Classic at Kooyong with ease 6-2, 6-3.
The match lasted just 57 minutes with Roger bouncing back from defeats to Andy Murray in Abu Dhabi and in Doha."I was a little rusty in the beginning, missed quite a few forehands, but I thought it was a good match overall," he said. "There were a few gusts of wind, which makes it not easy to play, but I felt like I was playing okay today."
Roger's next opponent will be Spanish Davis Cup hero Fernando Verdasco, who had little trouble defeating rising Croatian star Marin Cilic 6-2 7-5. Roger will be looking to add to his tally of 13 Grand Slam victories at Melbourne Park next week.
Fed + Rafa Practicing…..Together
Here is some video (albeit poor quality) of Roger and Rafa practicing together down under in preparation for the first slam of the year which will start next week. Maybe the realize that they will have to team up to beat the hot Andy Murray or maybe there was no one else around to practice with. Either way the fact that the world #1 and #2 player’s in the world are practicing together is pretty cool.
