He has money to afford great lawyers. Those cops should get prepared for a world of pain, I hope.

It sounds as if he was unlucky in that he looked like a guy that was thought to have engaged in ID theft and was pointed out (incorrectly). The police clearly had a right to approach and interrogate him based on that kind of information, but they overdid it, as too often happens.

You can see here clearly that the police never asked him anything, he attacked him very badly, horrible way to act

by "plainclothed officer" of course you mean "future mcdonald's employee".

Did any player mentioned this on a post match interview? I would expect some sympathy from the former colleagues. Even if I suspect that the tournament organizers may have asked them not to mention it, I still think it would be decent to express something, and I hope they do it on the final.

Really disappointed that not one of them is coming to the Japan Open. At least the new member of the Big Four Wawrinka is coming! :cool:

I'ld be surprised if Nadal played all those tourneys, he's usually injured or sick at the end of the year. he hasn't played Masters for ages and indoor seems to be his worst surface, wait and see but I'm not very optimist about this second part of year

The comments under your article were especially illuminative Nehmeth. One that struck me was someone saying they wouldn't like Nole because he's the Ivan Lendl of this generation.
Ivan Lendl was before my tennis-watching time but this doesn't strike me as true. Maybe it's an Eastern Europe vs. Western Europe thing??

The only question I ask is "will Fed and Rafa" finally meet sometime in Basel? :puzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy: :p

Someone on tennis.com made a valid point that anyone who returns his serve is screwing the refugees!
