ROGER Federer says he was misunderstood and he did not blame Switzerland teammate Stanislas Wawrinka for their Davis Cup loss to the United States.
Federer appeared to criticize Wawrinka's performances in the 5-0 first-round whitewash at the weekend.
But Federer said there was no rift with Wawrinka. "It was a tough weekend for us," he said. "I did have a day to sort of recover on Sunday and just weather the press because it was taken completely the wrong way, me blaming Stan. I would never do that and it was just an unfortunate weekend.
"There were many different circumstances leading to our defeat. First and foremost, I think the Americans played really well."
Federer and Wawrinka both surprisingly lost their singles matches on the opening day against the US.
