felt satisfied with his straight-set win over in the Australian Open second round. The Swiss prevailed in straight sets, 7-6 7-6 6-3, to book a third round clash against .
Asked if he was surprised with Evanss performance, the 37-year-old replied: No. I have high regard, you know, in Dan. I think hes a good player. Ive seen him play some really good matches over the years.
I see why he can cause difficulties to players. Hes got a nice slice, defending the court well. He has the variation, which is always a hard thing to play against. He was feeling it today, I thought. He was very sort of cat and mouse a bit.
Very interesting. I liked the match. I thought he was playing well. It was enjoyable, yeah. Evans headed into the Australian Open being 189th ranked, but Federer feels the Brit is worth much more. I didnt even know his ranking, Roger admitted.
For me hes a top 100 player. Once youre 80 or 60 or 40, you can be all those things, and beyond probably. I just think its in the details at the end of the day. How much can you give to the sport? How much are you willing? Can you stay injury-free? Get your ranking up, be really there for the crucial moments? I think he can be top 50 again, no problem, yeah.
