Roger Federer not worried about heat: You can't play in a sauna

is not particularly worried about being affected by the heat at the Australian Open. The Swiss often trains in Dubai when its 45C and pretty humid, and he is keeping the situation under control ahead of the first Major of the year.

Federer did not find the weather in Perth, where he was playing the Hopman Cup, particularly hot. I am not getting the heat thing, this week has not been very hot. Melbourne will be the same I think, I have checked the temperatures over there, theres gonna be one spike well whilst, you are here, we are here and its gonna be mild so you cannot go play tennis in a sauna so just saying its just being ready when the hot weather comes around and it gets through somehow, and this is where my fitness and mental toughness is gonna get me through there, said Federer.

The Swiss also spoke about his commitment to the Laver Cup: I have tried to get some good input so the players have a good time and that also honor the great people that paved the way for us so that was the idea.

Federer is aware that he wont have an easy singles match on Saturday against in the Hopman Cup final. In press conference, the Swiss said: Zverev is coming prepared better this year than last year as last year he did a ton of fitness going into the Hopman Cup so maybe his game was lacking a little bit, so I think its not the case this time around, he is a different player.
