This is great for Tiafoe, and great use of the WC, IMO. He just turned 17 in Jan. Great opportunity to gain big time experience. Thanks for that link, tented.

...and thanks for keeping us up on the youngsters, as always, JLLB.

So Federer'll finally play Roma ?? He already booked his hotel room but Roma's organizers have no news from him

How do you know this? You work in a hotel?

In this situation, no news is good news. Fed does not have to tell anything to Rome Organizers if he is playing. He needs to inform them, only if he is not playing.

fedster is surely gonna play rome, otherwise he'd be going into the French open with 1 match in 3 weeks.

This is what happens when you don't know how to shoot yourself in the foot properly.

Thanks murat for posting. He was struggling since Miami with it. I am still proud of him for what he did in MC and Madrid considering.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

[brokenshoelace]

Milos had surgery?! I legit had no idea.

 

[Kieran]

"The recovery time is estimated at a week-and-a-half to two weeks."

As the article herios posted says, it's cutting it fine for Paris. He might be wise to withdraw and then he has five weeks to get ready for Wimbledon, where he has a much better shot at a run...

Does this mean he's out of FO? Still doesn't get Rafa up to #4; he's not guaranteed anything above #5, maybe 6 or 7 at the best! :angel: :dodgy:
