Roger Federer has been looking the picture of health during private practice this week as the Swiss prepares for the Australian Open after choosing to skip the AAMI Classic warmup at Kooyong Club.
After complaints of some elbow and right arm soreness trouble from the world No. 1 in Doha following a loss last weekend to Nikolay Davydenko, Federer's camp has told Australian media that he is fit and ready for the Grand Slam.
The Swiss had a well-televised hit at Melbourne Park shortly after arriving in Australia from the Gulf, where he has a base in Dubai.
His form appeared normal with no signs of any discomfort.
In Doha, Federer said that it might have been a chill in the air as much as anything else which contributed to his pain. "I felt my arm from the cold, but there is nothing to worry about my arm. I will be fine."
Federer is a favorite to lift a fourth title at Melbourne Park after losing the final a year ago to Rafael Nadal.

If it was serious, he would've retired in his SF match against Davydenko. Thank goodness he will be fit for AO.

yes thank God he is fit. Would have been a disaster if he had to pull out.
