Tennis star Roger Federer not worried he lost
Swiss tennis star and world number one Roger Federer in some ways knew it was bound to happen one day and isn't that worried that he lost 7-5 6-3 7-6 (7-5) to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open.
Roger Federer, 26, was beaten for the first time since 2005, and this loss marks the end of a 19-match unbeaten run, but he said: "I've created a monster that I need to win every tournament - still, the semi-finals is not bad. I think Novak managed to win the more important points today, it was a bit unfortunate for me I guess."
Roger Federer, who has won 12 Grand Slams in the past, must now wait to see if he can catch up with Pete Sampras' record haul of 14, for which he stands a chance at either the French Open in May, or more likely at Wimbledon in June.
Roger Federer also said: "It's not easy coming out every week trying to win. You'll always run into fellow top-10 players or other guys who are on a streak or on a hot run or surprise you. That's the difficulty about tennis. I've had it for a long, long time. I've had to deal with all sorts of different streaks. I didn't feel particular pressure at all tonight, no."
