Federer coy on majors haul

by Admin , 18 February 2010

World number one Roger Federer has played down suggestions he could complete a clean sweep of Grand Slams in 2010.


Rod Laver is the only other tennis player to have achieved that feat back in 1969 but 16-time major winner Federer says he is relaxed about the possibility of a medals haul.

Tennis experts have argued it could be the Swiss superstar's last chance to make such a landmark because Rafael Nadal - his French Open nemesis - continues to be dogged by injury.

Federer, 28, said: "I won't put the entire calendar just around trying to win the calendar Grand Slam. "

It's something if it happens, it's great, but it's not something that's my number one goal.

Whatever happens, happens."
