A bit of flare as we would expect from Monfils that game. His casual approach can sometimes get him into trouble yet it can also distract the opponent. It certainly did in that game. Still managing some incredible force from the back of the court and the serve.

A majestic performance from Roger Federer tonight against a valiant performer in Yen-Hsun Lu. Roger had the full variety of shots going tonight in victory 1001. He is back to Melbourne Park and back to his best. Many people believe he could go all the way this year and on the basis of that performance; he can. Loved the way he worked the ball tonight resulting in well over 50 winners and a variety of different type of aces.
With that performance, he continues his unbeaten start to 2015.
Thank you for joining me on the Roar tonight where we saw the Fed Express march onto the 2nd Round of the Australian Open.
