Federer: "I have to keep going and stay aggressive"

It’s fair to say that Roger Federer hoped for a lot more when he stepped onto Rod Laver Arena on Thursday night to face Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open semi-finals.

But Federer’s self-belief is far from dented after the four-set defeat. “I have...
