^ There's a lot of talk about that alright on various other boards. The silent part that is.

Always remember when rumours start in sports they often turn out to be true. Think one certain Lance Armstrong who was fooling everyone for years and now is simply just a fool himself.

^ Not really if he comes back 'cos it'll just look silly then. I mean who really expected Mardy Fish to come back? Likewise Tommy Haas is due back soon and is 37 in March.

If he manages to come back, he might have a 5 year career I think, with the mileage he saved from the lost years. Big if though...

I truly hope so. I would hate for Soderling's claim to fame to be only "the only man who beat Nadal at the French Open."

He might not even have that after this year.

Nah, these late comebacks never last. He'll realize he's old (the time saved in this case isn't a good thing, because it's TOO much time saved. He hasn't played in ages. The game passed him by), he'll be losing left and right and figure it isn't worth it. That and the fact that he has mono.

It is a strange coincidence that the guy who dethroned Rafa at RG as well as the guy who
dethroned Roger at USO (JMDP) have practically have almost lost their careers due to health
issus (even though JMDP continues to be in the circuit).

This is why Ferrer never bothers to beat these guys. It is better to have your career intact. :snicker
