i got to say this sounds intriguing - although with the amount of interviews he's doing anyway (and considering how, on the one hand, many 'journalists' in the past have shown to be just overwhelmed fans while on the other hand, for the sake of getting a good headline, there's been a reasonable amount of passive-aggressive approaches that would probably come close to the hostility of an internet crowd, at least the part that'll make it through the filters), i'd be surprised if there's a lot of questions (and answers) that we haven't heard before.

Federer is probably the most well oiled PR machinery in sports - hopefully we'll get some good questions. It's bound to be moderated quite heavy i guess.

^ of course. after all, who wants to go through 15000 questions of "you suck! why do you wear gold all the time? Gwen Stefani sucks IIGJKBVJEHJNMAB!=!=***", plus, of course "No!111111111!e!" and "can you please explain in what ways exactly David Nalbandian's game, when on, is truly superior to everything we've ever seen before or will ever see again?"

I see Roger has finally joined twitter (@rogerfederer). I've been following @PseudoFed for so long that the real Roger feels like the imposter. Do any Roger fans follow PseudoFed? I think he's hysterical. I know Roger has been asked about him.

He probably realized twitter is the best medium for him to soon announce retirement :)
