Not tennis related I know... but is one of the admins going to delete that spam thread? I put it through google translate, and it looks like it's a link to flog Cartier watches...

I just posted in the Challenger thread more details about that event. It seems to be an important challenger which attracted good players.

RE: General tennis news

Yet more tennis.com idiocy on display. Djokovic's indoor season is supposedly in doubt yet he plans to play the 2 biggest tournaments Paris and the WTF and has a goal of finishing as year end number 1?! How exactly that equates to indoor season being in doubt I've no idea. Muppet journalism at its best.

"Roger Federer has a new physiotherapist, reports Tages Anzeiger. The world No. 3 is now working with Daniel Troxler, of Switzerland, a trainer who was previously with long-distance runner Viktor Röthlin.

Federer has occasionally worked with Troxler before, his agent, Tony Godsick, told the publication, first meeting him when he was working for Switzerland's tennis team at the Sydney Olympics."

is he injured? what injury?

In fact he has a virus + wrist inury...he hopes to play Bercy but he won't take any risk, his main goal remains DC's final of course.

RE: General tennis news

So much for not altering his schedule to reach London. There's no point qualifying by playing 6 weeks in a row to get there and knackering yourself out. It's not as if he's been racking up the wins against top calibre players when he's been well rested either.

Oh well, if he gets there I'm not complaining at the end of the day.

Boy, this is too much, playing six weeks in a row.

Also, even if he wins Vienna, not all 250 points will be added to his race count (they
will be added for a week, but not in the end). In the end, it can be seen as a replacement
for his lowest current points obtained in a tourney, which is 90 that he got in Rotterdam.
So, he can only really gain 160 points in the end by playing in Vienna.

Lendl has declined Berdych's request to coach him. Lendl has said he is too busy to do
so next year, thus leaving open future possibilities (assuming the excuse is real).

In that case, Tomas needs to Czech himself before he riggidy wrecks himself. It's an old Ice Cube song :p
