Roger Federer will again play in front of his home crowd as he attempts to win his sixth Swiss Indoor Basel title. He will be opposed by Brazilian Thomaz Bellucci in the second round of action on Wednesday.
Federer is on a mission in this tournament. There is extra pressure of winning this tournament in 2012. If wins the Swiss Indoor Basel, Federer will be able to finish the year in first place.
Even though it looks like a pressure filled situation, Federer is a veteran and he sounds like he is ready for his challenge.
Following his first round victory over Benjamin Becker in two straight sets 7-5,6-3, Federer had a few words to share;
"Ever since my first win here, the pressure has actually gone instead of increased, in my opinion. I feel I can come here and just perform, enjoy and try my best. It's pretty simple, actually, the approach."
The action sets off at 12 p.m. ET/5 p.m CEST.
