Australian Open 2016 Roger Federer vs David Goffin
Roger Federer wants to take back some of what he said about fellow tennis player Bernard Tomic a couple of weeks ago but only part of it.
Asked to assess the then 17th-ranked Tomic, Federer suggested that Tomic had missed an opportunity to live up to his potential. The trouble was Federer was under the assumption Tomic was ranked ``liked 50 or 60 and (instead) he was top 20.""
So on Tuesday at the Australian Open Federer tried to set the record straight.
``You know, I"d like to see anybody succeed and anybody make their move,"" he said. ``I thought I was somewhat tough, but I was fair because I said nice things about him. But then I checked his ranking. I didn"t know his ranking was as high as it was, to be quite honest.
``That was my bad. But I still believe it"s a big difference, top 10 for a week or for a year. It"s a lot of dedication, a lot of hard work. There"s a lot of guys who have the potential right now, not just him.""
