Roger Federer looks fresh and relaxed again! After problems with the hand (and shape) since last summer, the Swiss seems to have done a great job. Four matches, four wins at the Hopman Cup - you can hardly start better.
Federer has been undefeated in Melbourne for 14 matches: after the retro final against Rafael Nadal in 2017, he won the title again in 2018, with a five-set win over Marin Cilic. And with another triumph on the Yarra River, Federer could not only collect Grand Slam title number 21, but also his 100th tournament success overall. It would be an amazing story ...
Roger Federer vs. See Denis Istomin in the livestream
Opponent Istomin is no stranger: in 2017 he beat Novak Djokovic completely unexpectedly in round two, the 32-year-old is currently ranked 99th. However, the direct comparison speaks clearly for the 37-year-old Swiss: Federer leads 6-0, most recently he won at the home tournament in Basel in 2014, but "only" in three sets. At the Australian Open, they met in round one: 2006. At that time Federer won smoothly in three rounds and then took the title.
The duel between Federer and Istomin is the second match of the night session on Monday, so the game should not start before 10.30 a.m.CET at the earliest. With us you will be there live with the match tracker - of course the game is also available on Eurosport and in Eurosport Player!
