Federer great at dishing out advice: Ivanovic

Melboune, Jan 21 (IANS) Swiss superstar Roger Federer has donned a new cap - that of an agony uncle. According to Serbian tennis champion Ana Ivanovic, he is fantastic at handing out advice.

The No.5 seed made the revelation after her second round defeat of Alberta Brianti at Rod Laver Arena Wednesday. Speaking during her post-match press conference, she said she often had 'nice chats' with the World No.2 at tournaments.

'He gives me sometimes a nice advice. It?s great because he achieved so much. I would love to have the opportunity to spend more time talking to him, because I think there are so many things I can learn from him, from his experience.'

'I think one year at the US Open I spoke to him. He said that you just basically have to enjoy and try not to think too much. Because I used to stress a lot about traveling so much and using so much time in traffic. He said, you know, you can?t change that. You just have to basically accept it.'
