John Millman reluctant to look ahead to possible Australian Open Showdown with Roger Federer

John Millman and Roger Federer could face each other in the third round of Australian open if they win their respective next matches. Federer will face Serbian Filip Krajinovic on Wednesday, while Millman will face Polish star Hubert Hurkacz. Millman said: “Yeah, look, it would be nice to have another encounter with Roger, but I'm under no illusion, this next match is going to be an absolute tough one. It's going to be really tough. Hurkacz, I've played a lot with Hubert. He's someone that we're going to really start, I think families are going to start remembering his name because he's exponentially improving at a massive rate right now. “He's one of the ones you're going to be seeing on your screens deep in tournaments well into the future. It's going to be an extremely tough match tomorrow. If I can get through it, I'd love -- you know, you want to be playing the best players in the world and you want to be playing on the biggest courts, win or lose. “You know, they're the ones that the people want to ask you about, and they're the ones that, you know, you tell a few stories about when you finish playing tennis. But right now, I know it's cliche and probably not what you want to hear, but, yeah, this next match is going to be an absolute - it's going to be really tough. “I’m going to do everything I can to get through that, to extend my stay here and to extend my tournament, perhaps give myself a chance to play one of the big boys. Right now, yeah, Hurkacz is big enough for me.” Source- Express
