Q. Is there a sense that Rod Laver is a little slower this year than before?
ROGER FEDERER: Is it? I think at night it's a bit slower. It's hard to put the ball away it seems like. I don't know if that's because I played Gilles Simon. I definitely felt like after when the sun was down and it was cooling off a bit, you know, I think the court was playing slower.
Now, during the day today I think the ball was flying again and it definitely takes a kick and the spin and all those things, so I think it's pretty much the same to be quite honest. I just think it was because the nights were quite cool at the beginning of the week. That's changed again.
Q. Do you think it plays to anyone's advantage?
ROGER FEDERER: Depending against who you play on the day and then day form comes in. So I wouldn't know who I would favor in a night session or day session. I wouldn't really know. I think we can play on all the surfaces anyway and conditions. That's what we're made for really.
