Melbourne  - Realistic Roger Federer is well aware that a jam-packed annual tennis calendar will almost certainly not allow the Australian Open to move from its traditional January date.

Despite voicing the opinion this week that the Open would be more pleasing to players were it slid a few weeks into February - more time for preparation - the Swiss knows that a such a move is just a dream.

"A lot has been said - the Australian Open has to be moved two weeks later - but that's not what was meant in any way," he explained on Sunday.

"We were asked if we should change the Australian Open schedule, we always talk about calendar changes. It was taken out of context," he said.
