It’s a great time in my life. FEDERER

Roger Federer is extremely relaxed right now.

The Swiss sensation is the favorite to win the Australian Open despite his age (36). During the recent pre-tournament press conference in Melbourne, the world no.2 tried to play down his expectations, and he is happy to talk about his life right now.

It’s a great time.

Roger commented

“I have a big family. I get to see familiar faces again at all these events because I’ve made so many friends over the course of my career. I’m so happy to come back to Melbourne, see all my friends that live here in Melbourne.

It’s nice that it’s never actually gone away, the fun aspect of enjoying the travel, coming back to Australia. These are great times in my life and in my career. My wife is incredibly supportive.

Is it the best ever? I’m not sure. It’s definitely a lot of fun right now.”

Seeded no.2, Roger will face Bedene in the first round. They have never played each other so far.
