"Q. You possibly might have to play Agassi next. Assuming you do play Agassi, do you think your game at the moment, you're at a level to beat him, considering how well he played the other night?
ROGER FEDERER: I hope so. I mean, I don't know why you ask me a question like this. I think I've proven myself in the past, and I know my game's good enough, you know. Also on my day where I'm not playing perfect, I know I can beat him. He's not as good as he was when he was at the top of the ranking, otherwise he would be there. Fortunately, I'm there.
I think he has to raise his game, not me." - from http://www.australianopen.com
Ouch. I mean... *ouch* Roger. So maybe it's true, but what happened to the sweet little Swiss who never acted superior, especially to someone like Agassi? o_O It just seems a little... harsh coming from Roger. Oh well. I suppose no one can be constantly modest when you're as good as Roger Federer. Still, show some respect to your elders Roger. You never know, he may just hand your ass to your on a plate and then who'll feel stupid?
EDIT: He's back to his usual modest self later in the interview. Maybe a mosquito had just bitten him or something to put him in a brief bad mood. ;)
EDIT: If journalists don't stop constantly asking Feds questions about Lleyton then I will squish them. Andy's still there you know! He's still number two right now! Hello?! This thing on?!! -_- */end slash-inspired irritation*
