Cool Federer sweeps into Open round two
MELBOURNE, Jan 14, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Ageless Roger Federer warmed up for a
run at a record seventh Australian Open title Monday by breezing past Uzbek
Denis Istomin in straight sets to book a spot in the second round.
The 37-year-old Swiss master made light of his assignment on Rod Laver
Arena to wrap up the match 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 as he confidently began the defence
of his title.
