Defending champion Roger Federer helped ring in the Year of the Goat as he launched the Chinese New Year celebrations at Burj Al Arab on Thursday, ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, which begins Monday, 23 February.
Roger. Roger. Roger. You are the best tennis player ever. You are the G.O.A.T. ! You are really Betterer. But you are only one guy with a big, big , big , big life. Mirka and her pink hat looked adorable. The girls look beautiful. Leo and Lenny are adorable.
Roger Federer feared well before stepping onto court in the Australian Open third round against Andreas Seppi that something was not quite right with his game. The Swiss second seed found out the hard way that his sensation was correct as he lost in the third round in Melbourne for the first time in 14 years, taking a 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5) defeat...
What happened? Well ok maybe we’re being a teeny bit sensationalist, of course by now we know what happened. The rock solid favourite for the title exited stage left from the first Slam of the year.
Roger Federer has stepped out in style in Melbourne ahead of the Australian Open, joining VIP guests for an intimate evening 38 floors above picturesque Southbank in the Crown Towers. A global ambassador for Moët & Chandon, Federer reflected on his outstanding seasons in 2004 and 2006, which are two grand vintages for the premier champagne maker.
Hello from "Down Under " ! It's so bright here that even the 10s balls are wearing "sunnies" ( auzzie slang for sunglasses ) It seems like every clothing manufacturer went Hot / bright / Cray Cray colors.
It is almost as if the tennis heavenly bodies were reading our observations of the stars feeling jittery on their first time out. The drama was to be had in the iconic Rod Laver Arena as first hot favourite Maria Sharapova, then Roger Federer, and then finally Rafael Nadal all took their turn to broil in the Round Two pressure cooker.
G'day from Melbourne. The jetlagged team is finally getting it together. It's so great being down here. It feels so good. We always feel jittery till the tourney gets going. That first round match in any tourney is tough.
In this era when there are so many hot prospects to talk about -- Kyrgios, Thiem, Coric -- Jiri Vesely has tended to be forgotten. Maybe it's time that changed. At age 21, he was playing in his first-ever final -- yet he dominated his much older opponent, showing no hint of nerves.

Roger Federer is one of only three players in the Open Era (since 1968) to win at least 1,000 singles matches on the ATP World Tour, the first since Ivan Lendl in 1992. He joins Jimmy Connors as the only players to accomplish the feat.
It may not be quite Derek Jeter getting his 3,000th hit in the form of a home run, but Roger Federer accomplished another feat of his own in a fashion befitting of Federer's legendary career. The 33-year-old Swiss earned his 1,000th match victory by winning the Brisbane International title on Sunday. He held off a hard-charging Milos Raonic 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-2 in two hours and 13 minutes.
