“I’m not putting extra pressure on myself,” Federer revealed ahead of his first round match against qualifier Sumit Nagal.
“I’m not coming in as overwhelming favourite like I did back in 2006 [when he defeated Andy Roddick] or 2007 [beating Djokovic], but I’m very much aware of how I need to approach the tournament mentally.
“I’ve had a very consistent last two years [in which he won the Australian Open twice, Wimbledon in 2017 and reached the 2019 final after beating Rafa Nadal in the semis].
“Even though my back locked up on me in Montreal, and I struggled here as well, I’ve been playing well recently again. My win over Rafa at Wimbledon was big for me. I’m happy with my game.”
