Is the Stefan Edberg Sportsman of the Year award now a parody joke award? Federer won it again... :laydownlaughing

That must be it! Reminds me of baseball All-Stars game where the same players are voted in; even if near retirement, using a cane, and visibly nowhere near the ability of their past! :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover

Well deserved imo and Murray probably agrees the most! Very sporting of Roger to take most of the year off and allow Andy to get to world number 1. All part of Roger's cunning plan. Crush Novak's spirit by helping Andy get to number 1 and now when Roger returns, his main obstacle in slams has been neutralized ;)

Oh yeah, I've read about it, well, he needs to practice a lot now but the good thing is that he has still one month and a half before the Exo which will be a good way to shake the rusty :cool:

I would suggest to Rafa to go to Miami:)basiate) in December and train with Murray for two weeks.. If he can get his fitness to that level he has a chance to ascend back to the top 3 otherwise its gonna be more of the same ole same ole from him and Toni..

I don't think Muzz lives in Miami anymore, he goes often to Mallorca but trust me, Rafa is going to do well with Toni :p

Not sure how relvenat, but Nadal was spotted hitting with a Head racquet. If you want to see it, just Google it, or visit Men's tennis forum, they posted the video there as well.
He is probably trying to fix his serve with the new stick.
