Roger Federer says that he can still feel the pressure he felt when he was world number one.

Roger Federer has said that he can still feel the pressure he felt when he was world number one.

The Swiss has not won one of tennis's four major competitions since winning the 2010 Australian Open.

The 30-year-old has dropped to number three in the world after spending a total of 285 weeks at the top.

"I think I do [still] have the pressures of a World No. 1," Federer told www.atpworldtour.com. That never really changes with all the success I've had. I have the same attention - there's just different stories written.

"I've had a wonderful career so far. The fire is the same, basically. It's just in terms of having a family now and not being world number one. But I take so much joy out of playing this sport and travelling the world still.

"I do care mostly about trying to win tournaments. That's what's important. That's how I could get back to world number one potentially. I have to get back to winning ways again after losing the last two."

Federer has accumulated a record 16 Grand Slam titles since beating Mark Phillippoussis to win his first Wimbledon championship in 2003.
