Roger Federer gives an injury update and reacts to an incredible win

Roger Federer claimed he ‘got lucky’ after his remarkable comeback win over Tennys Sandgren in the Australian Open quarter-finals. “Got to get lucky some times, I tell you that,” Federer said courtside after. “Those seven match points I wasn’t under control. I was hoping he was not going to smash the winner. He played his match. I got incredibly lucky. “As the match went on, I started to play again. I don’t deserve this one, but I’m standing here and I’m very, very happy.” Federer also offered an update on the injury that was clearly affecting him during the middle portion of the match. “Sometimes you feel a bit funny,” he said. “I started to feel my groin, my leg was tightening up. I don’t like to get the trainer, show weakness and all that stuff. It’s always the best when it’s your groin, because you go off an nobody really knows what is is. “In the end I was like ‘whatever,’ I’m going to go off and have some treatment in my leg.” Federer will now face Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals.
