Roger Federer Doesn’t Play Tennis ‘Just to Protect That Record.’ But Another Grand Slam Couldn’t Hurt

Australian John Millman, facing Roger Federer in the third round of the Australian Open on Friday evening down under, was leading 8-4 in a fifth-set tiebreaker, just two points away from pulling off the upset. But Millman's end came soon enough, in a typical Federer flurry. A backhand winner, via Federer's magic wand of a tennis racquet. Millman committed unforced errors, as Federer refused to relinquish the point. A Federer drop shot.
