Roger Federer has plenty to celebrate – and not just because it’s Australia Day.

Federer and Goffin both have played in the 2016 Brisbane International before coming to play Australian Open this year.
Tomic was offended at suggestions Federer had criticised him for not breaking into the top 10, as the Gold Coaster has vowed to do. A sensational forehand victor by Berdych extended the set, but not for long. No male player has managed to replicate the feat since then. “I have to be the one to dictate”.
The former world number one played his third round against Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in the round 3. If everybody could be that, I wish that for everyone. The world number six, who married Ester Satorova last July, said the first thing he does on court is take off his ring, which he finds uncomfortable to wear while playing.
“I am a tall, quite heavy guy and when you want to compete with guys like Andy, Novak, Rafa (Nadal) and Roger, you are going to have to be extremely fit and be prepared for that”. Her top competition, from a rankings standpoint, is No. 4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska. That was my bad, to be honest. “I’m expecting a great fight”. It ” s where it all sort of started for me when I came on tour.
“It’s a lot of dedication, a lot of hard work”. “I think they see the benefit of hanging around with the same theme or subject for a while”. The Swiss star also becomes the oldest man to reach the Aussie quarters since Agassi (100 days older) did it 11 years ago.
Over 90 per cent of the men still standing at the Australian Open must have shared the same thought on Sunday night.
The World No. 3 has spoken also about the importance of the first coaches he has had.
MURRAY VS. FERRER: The Scotsman has won 12 of 18 matches against Ferrer, including the last five. I think the court suits him”, Federer said, adding: “I would assume he’s exactly where he wants to be and he’ll recover and make it a tough match for me, no doubt about it. “He needs to, obviously, for what happened past year”, Federer said. “They’ve give me advice, if you like”. I really enjoy being able to come to the net more like back in the day.
“Just talking about a guy who has talent and potential, I can’t hear it anymore”.
There are simply too many “extended rallies” where there are at least nine shots hit in the point before it’s done and dusted. “In important moments I stayed composed – overall it was a very solid performance”. One of Nishikori’s only two wins against Djokovic came in the 2014 U.S. Open semifinals.
“It’s always a big challenge”. I was already unbelievably impressed at his sheer power, his talent, his potential, all that.
Nishikori just played one of his “best matches of the week”, and is sending all the right signals that he is seeing the ball like a watermelon.
“I think his backhand is better than it was maybe five, six years ago”. He ” s got a lot of power.
“When are they playing?”

Rod Laver finally got his Australian Open trophy, even if it took 47 years to do so. I was missing too much, especially first couple sets.
