Roger Federer, who will lead the Swiss Davis Cup team on indoor clay against the United States this weekend, says that he wants his nation to win the Davis Cup this year, but is unsure how many ties he’ll play and is not feeling any pressure.
"It’s just another tie for me," he told DavisCup.com. "It doesn’t matter when and where it is, it’s all a matter of priorities. My team is a group of great friends, that’s what I enjoy about it, that I can spend some time with them, and hopefully try to win, but if we don’t, it doesn’t matter. It’s about trying your best and having a good time." Federer will face American John Isner on Friday. This is the first time that Federer has played a first round World Group tie in eight years.
