Roger non-committal about performing in 3rd Act of Circus. Rafa promises to return though.

I misspoke. Roger non-committal about coming back to India next year. But, is almost certain to indulge in some circus shows (people are being bought and sold for two year contract these days in IPTL, as they wanted some marginal stability in the teams and Roger is bought by UAE for 2 years).

Roger has perfect record so far in IPTL this season. He played four matches (2 singles and 2 doubles) and lost four matches. :clap

A smarter person would have stayed home and gotten some rest! This is nothing more than a "money grab" and I'm disgusted! This may influence the results for the next season; ya never know! :cover :puzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy:

Pretty sure it will influence his results next year. There's no chance he'll be that bad :D Losing 4 matches hardly took much out of him either.

Could that announcer have been any more biased? LOL I know you like Fed but at least try man. Just a hit and giggle match that doesn't mean much, despite what Fed says or how much celebrating Nadal does.

Honestly, I see a lot of people posting along these lines and I think almost the opposite. This kind of match takes almost nothing out of these guys, they are basically having fun and keeping in touch with tennis. The extra money is always good, and means that they can choose better during the season, which is what matters. They hit some balls, do some tourism, shop around and go home still fit, with all the gifts already bought and a lot of change. Very smart IMO.

I agree, the only effort was traveling over there and the celebration was a just a "team celebration", well done and fun. Now they have plenty time to rest and to be ready for this next year ;)

If it's so easy, why did Nole tell them to "go fish?" :puzzled :nono :angel: :dodgy: :cover :p :ras:

C'mon Fiero, first everyone has his own reasons, and Djokovic:

a) Is probably one of the guys with more matches (as he would always reach sunday);
b) Is surely the guy who made more money and;
c) Is definitely the guy who had more fun.

So maybe he just wants to go home.

But, yeah, I really think it is so easy.

Maybe if he had Russell Wilson's girlfriend Cierra waiting for him he would have stayed home.

So she's possibly playing "a beard" for 2 guys instead of 1? Just a thought! :puzzled :nono :angel: :cover

When it rains it pours. Roger is now 0-6 in IPTL. He lost to Murray both in Singles and Doubles today.
I think Roger is not playing tomorrow and has only two more matches left in Singapore.

The question is will he make it to 0-8 and finish with impeccable record.

p.s.1. Now Roger almost single handedly has ensure that UAE Royals will not reach the finals.
Indian Aces are way ahead of everybody and are almost guaranteed a spot in the finals. The other
spot will go to Singapore Slammers (most likely) or else to Philipines Mavericks.

p.s.2. Is it possible that Roger is playing so bad hoping that they will ?ask him not to come to Singapore? :devil
