Stan says he doesn't see a difference between a slam and the Davis Cup. “There is no comparison possible for me,” Wawrinka said. “Again, completely two different trophy(s). There is not one better than the other, it's just different competition."

He hasn't decided if he's playing the first round of the Davis Cup next year, which presumably means he also hasn't decided if he's playing the first round of the Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, the US Open, either... :cover

I really would like to know what 2016 will bring to us. I think it will be pretty diferent than this year, hope to see much better game and competition from the young ones and not so young, otherwise this sport is going to lose many followers, in fact I know according what I'm reading and listening it's happening already :nono :-/ :cover

"All things are the same," Stan Wawrinka announced today. "There is [sic] no differences. My merit badge in the Boy Scouts -- same as Nobel Prize. There is not one better than the other."

Gawd, I hope not; David's just a board for the top echelon to beat against! I'd be very surprised if he won even 1 RR match! :cover :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Hey, if he's in Murray's group he could snag a win, as Andy will be wanting to exit as quickly as possible for the D.C. final with Belgium.

I've been saying the same thing on here and other boards, but people are "poo-poo'n" it saying he has plenty of time to recover! They obviously have little idea the stress he's under with both the finishing events (YEC & DC) in his homeland! The demands on his time, playing the matches, and the history it entails has to be overwhelming! I have little or no sympathy for him, but I can understand what he must be going through! :nono :cover :angel: :dodgy:

Well, I think it's a poor time for the ATP to pull a power play to show up at the WTF (or else).

I am pretty sure the D.C. final will be in Belgium.

Kei Nishikori Withdraws From Basel With Shoulder Injury

 

[Kirijax]

After three seasons together and runner-up finishes at Wimbledon and the USO this year, Jaime Murray and John Peers are calling it quits and will start 2016 with new partners. Murray will team up with Bruno Soares next year.
Very weird. There's probably something going on behind the scenes that they aren't telling everyone.

Kei is virtually qualified. There is no way both Gasquet and Ferrer will pass him.
