The Switzerland team of Federer and Belinda Bencic earned a 4-2, 4-3 (3) win over Americans Serena Williams and Frances Tiafoe in a mixed doubles match Tuesday at the Hopman Cup.


In an interview, Williams said:

"It was so fun. This is super cool that we get to do it at such a pinnacle point of our careers.

This guy is great, both off the court and on the court. I think his serve is super-underestimated. It’s a killer serve, you can’t read it. I watched him all the time and I never knew how amazing it was."


This is the first match between Federer and Williams. The match played in a Fast4 format, drew a crowd of 14,000 in Perth, Australia. Federer said:

"I was nervous returning. People talk about her serve so much and I see why it is such a wonderful serve because you just can’t read it."


Federer and Williams were both victorious in their singles matches. Federer pulled out a 6-4, 6-1 win over Tiafoe. Williams earned a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 triumph over Bencic.


The United States’ loss eliminates them from championship competition after previously losing to Greece, while Switzerland would make it to the finals with a win over Greece on Thursday.
