Tennys Sandgren ready for Roger Federer: It will be an incredible match

World No. 100 Tennys Sandgren showed his class after stunning No. 12 seed Fabio Fognini at Melbourne Park as he spoke highly of the Italian's game. 

Sandgren, who made his maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal at Melbourne Park in 2018, edged out Fognini 7-6 (5) 7-6 (6) 6-7 (2) 6-4 to make his second quarterfinal at the Australian Open. 

Sandgren, 28, has tied the head-to-head record against Fognini after his latest win as the head-to-head between the two now stands at two wins apiece. 

"Playing him is just a war,” Sandgren said in his on-court interview, per the ATP Tour. “He’s so good and you can never count him out at any stage. I was expecting a fight and we had a fight."

Sandgren will now have a tough task of making his maiden Grand Slam semifinal as next up for him will be No. 3 seed Roger Federer, who beat Marton Fucsovics to progress into the last-16.

"It'll be an incredible match," Sandgren said, while not knowing whom he would face next. "Marton is playing phenomenal and Roger is Roger."
