MELBOURNE — Roger Federer is in love with tennis even after nearly two decades but may not be that keen to follow his children if they ever turned professional, the Swiss maestro said after storming into the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old overcame some feisty second set resistance from Alexandr Dolgopolov before he ran away with the match 6-3 7-5 6-1 courtesy of a superb service game and aggressive groundstrokes in the final set.
He will next play Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov in the third round on Friday and the third seed was so far enjoying his quest for his fifth Australian Open title.
