Federer cruised past Lacko in Melbourne

Roger Federer looks fit and ready for a great season.


This was quite clear 2 weeks ago when he won the first ATP tournament of the season in Doha in style without dropping a set.

The Swiss Maestro had another display of great tennis in the opening game with the Slovakian Lukas Lako with a a straight sets victory (6-1 6-1 6-3) in just 84 minutes.

“I thought I played great. Tried to play offensive from the start and see where it takes me. It didn’t work. I got back and played a bit more risky and so forth. But I was able to keep on pressing, put him on the back foot.’. Said Federer

 â€œI thought it was a good match. I don’t think he played too bad himself.  I saw some talent in him, too, and that’s why I think I was really happy I chose those tactics early on to pressure him. That it worked was obviously great. But at the end, I’m obviously very happy.”
