Federer tells McEnroe that it was a tough start and “Marton played clean”. It took him a while to shake off the Millman match and the beatdown from the baseline”, especially as it was cold, but he figured it out and things got a bit easier thereafter. McEnroe then makes him say something about Australia Day, so he thanks the fans and says he hopes to see them again next Australia Day before shouting out to Rod Laver. He says he’s a big historian, how much he loves McEnroe – my days he’s good at this – then McEnroe forces his to chortle chortle chortle that Tenys Sandgren is called ... wait for it ... TENYS! It’s well, well funny I can tell you. And on that high, day seven is in the books.
