Roger Federer: 2019 Hopman Cup was a thrill, a super pleasure
feels relieved about the way he performed at the Hopman Cup. In a post-match interview, after his singles win against Alexander Zverev in the final, the Swiss said: I am happy and proud to represent my country and its been a super pleasure doing it last and this year with me and Belinda winning back to back years.
What a thrill it was, not just the match point but the whole match, the whole week, so I am very happy about these records of course but I didnt come here for that. Federer was also asked why Swiss fans are calmer than others: Switzerland is a great country, its very neutral so people have an easier time to hold up the Swiss flag other than maybe a different one.
I think Belinda is very popular here in Perth as well and I think the quokka selfie helped me a little bit so there you have it. I think the fans are great, the tournament does a great job to make it sort of patriotic, which is a very nice thing.
Bencic said: Its amazing. When you see all the Swiss flags you understand its first of all amazing to play in front of these people but then also to remember to represent your country and to remember all the people that are watching at home, so I am very happy.
Federer reached Melbourne on Sunday with his wife Mirka and four children. The defending champion, he is trying to seek his seventh title there. ALSO READ: Rafael Nadal: Worse players than David Ferrer won a Grand Slam title
