Roger Federer won the bragging rights over fellow tennis great Serena Williams as they faced each other on court for the first time on Tuesday, with Federer spearheading Switzerland's 4-2, 4-3 (3) victory over the United States in a mixed doubles decider at the Hopman Cup.

"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 said.

"It was great fun. You see how determined and focused she is, and I love that about her."
"I was so excited, and literally it was the match of my career. Just playing someone so great, and someone you admire so much, and a match that actually means something."
