Wish I played a bit better. Federer
Roger wasn’t entirely happy with his tennis to comment “I thought he was reading my serve throughout the first set. So, I started to serve a little bit different in the second set. I was having more success that way.I was happy to come through a tough match because I thought he’s tough to play against. I struggled to read his technique, the way he gets into the ball I can’t really tell where he goes, and I remember that from the last time I played him in Dubai, I remembered there was something but not until I got on the court. So, it was tough. I think he’s a good player.
I wish I could have played maybe a bit better at times, but I must put it down to my opponent keeping me off balance as well. He was doing a really nice job of making me feel uncomfortable for a while.”
Next vs. Goffin
Roger will play David Goffin for a place in the semifinal. The head to head is 4-0 for Federer that has already defeated Goffin this year at the Australian Open.
