Quotable Quotes: Bernard Tomic Admits Love For Federer as Australia and Switzerland Split Rubbers

Davis Cup weekend kicked off in Perth as Australia and Switzerland split points in the first two singles matches of the tie. There were no surprises as Australia’s top-ranked player Bernard Tomic recovered from a set down to defeat an out-of-form Stanislas Wawrinka 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, before Roger Federer also lost the first set to Hewitt before finding his range and easing through 5-7, 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-3.

The highlight of the first day, however, was Tomic’s unashamed fanboying of “his idol” Federer afterwards, with Tomic’s face lighting up as he discussed the GOAT, all but admitting that he was too busy staring lovingly into Federer’s eyes to bother paying attention to his match in the first set.

“In the first set I was (nervous). “I didn’t play my game in the first few games and was a little bit nervous; having Roger watch you is a bit difficult. I saw him there, it’s a bit difficult when you look up to your idol … but it’s a good thing I got the team off to a good start.”

Lets hope he can stop himself from cowering at the sight of his idol and begging for an autograph when they do face each other on Sunday. Federer doesn’t take kindly to commoners speaking to him.
