Federer on winning team after facing Serena for 1st time

Roger Federer won the bragging rights over fellow tennis great Serena Williams as they faced each other on court for the first time on Tuesday, with Federer spearheading Switzerland's 4-2, 4-3 (3) victory over the United States in a mixed doubles decider at the Hopman Cup.

"I was nervous returning. People talk about her serve so much and I see why it is such a wonderful serve because you just can't read it," Federer said.

"It was great fun. You see how determined and focused she is, and I love that about her."
"I was so excited, and literally it was the match of my career. Just playing someone so great, and someone you admire so much, and a match that actually means something."
