On Tuesday, Roger Federer defeated Serena Williams in their first historic meeting in the Hopman Cup.

Federer sealed a 2-1 victory over Serena which left them bottom of Group B.

The result mattered little to over 14,000 fans in Perth and millions around the world who had eagerly awaited the contest.

Federer and Serena posed for selfies before indulging autograph hunters.

“It was great fun. What a pleasure. What an honour. Thank you for making it possible,” 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.” He added.

Serena also said the match, which was full of laughter and had an exhibition feel to it, was a “great experience” and one she hoped would not end as quickly as it did.

“I’m sorry it had to finish, I was just warming up. It was such fun, we grew up together. It was super cool. I wanted to take pictures and bring my baby out,” Serena said.

“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.”

Federer and Williams, holders of a combined 43 singles Grand Slam crowns, won their singles matches to keep the mixed doubles clash alive.
