King Roger wants to get his 5th title in Melbourne and he knows he can!
The Swiss Maestro this year has devised a different preparation from the previous years to decide not to play any warm up tournament. So after his super tour in South America he just got a big vacation to fly only few days ago to Australia.
If he wins the Australian Open he will be the first player to do that without playing any warm up tournament after Agassi in 1995.
“Second favorite”
“If I’m second favourite, fourth favourite or eighth or whatever it might be it doesn’t change much for me,” Federer said recently . “I know if I’m playing well I can win tournaments.
“I love the pressure of playing the new generation who are coming up and improving quickly and I have to work harder than to stay at the top, or with the best.”
Longevity is key
Roger wants to extend his career as much as he can to comment. “Longevity is the word here that I am looking for and that is what I am striving for this year in 2013 to hopefully keep on playing for many years.”
