Federer lured by his hero Rafter NOT only is Roger Federer playing on the court named after one of his idols, the stifling Queensland heat is also co-operating for the Swiss maestro. Federer revealed yesterday that Pat Rafter had been in his ear about coming to play in Brisbane for the first time. He had meandered around the country playing Hopman Cup in Perth, the ATP event in Adelaide, the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne and of course 14 Australian Opens -- winning four of them.
