Roger Federer

THE MODERATOR: Questions.

ROGER FEDERER: I felt pretty good out there, actually. I started the match really well, so I'm really happy the way it went. Second set he start to serve much better, so it got a little tough. Had some tough moments there. So I think that's also good that I got out of them. And it's going to help me for next match.

ROGER FEDERER: I think it's Vacek or Portas. So I've played Portas once on grass. So that's not going to say too much. Vacek, I don't even really know how he plays, so I really don't know. I have to maybe go and study them a little bit or ask guys how they play, just to get a little bit more feedbacks.
