Roger Federer enjoyed success debut a new racquet. He trialled a larger racquet head
after Wimbledon and after testing another version in Dubai during the off-season,
is ready to play matches with the new on the doubles court on Tuesday (30 Dec.)at the Brisbane International
presented by Suncorp. The Swiss teamed with Nicolas Mahut for a 7-5, 7-6(5)
victory over top seeds Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau.

“It's one again that Wilson worked on and adjusted after my comments,” said Federer.
“They wanted to do some more work on that racquet anyway.  
They sent me one round of racquets after the US Open,
and now another one after the ATP World Tour Finals.
I tested again a couple and chose the one I'm playing with now,
that I've been practising with two and a half straight weeks in Dubai.

“I feel very comfortable, more comfortable than I did with the one after Wimbledon,
which felt very different but very good as well.
This one feels more of an extension that I had before,
but it's more futuristic in form, I guess.
I'm actually very eager to see how it's going to react in the matches now.”
