So after the surprising AO 2017 it seems it's now Rafa has had a Roger problem but it doesn't mean he won't have the tour around , he will

I said this on the Fedal thread, I think, but the notion that Roger is in Rafa's head is probably a bit of wishful thinking from the Federer fans. Roger is in his tennis, for the moment, but there is reason to believe that that can be solved. (Broken has a reasonable solution. And then there's the fact that Roger is 36...another reason to believe that it won't last.)

And Bercy has a problem that the biggest players always skip or bow out early. Which is also somewhat demonstrated by this thread, which can't seem to keep it's focus on their beleaguered tournament. Guy Forget was talking again about their hopes of moving it to February, but even he mentions the South American "Golden Swing" and the doubts of moving it. Hard to feel sorry for Paris, though, as they have a Major. Ah, well....Congratulations to "Jean Chaussette" (as @isabelle so endearingly dubbed him,) the one who seized the opportunity. With very honorable mention to Filip Krajinovic, ATP mover of the week, I reckon.

Backing from his family and girlfriend has been important, he said, and he has also received motivation and advice from fellow Serb Novak Djokovic.

"He's even invited me to Monte Carlo to train and be around him," said Krajinovic. "I've used a lot of things on and off court that he's told me."

Sounds a bit suss...he has a nice game though and has had tons of injuries so...

I moved the Fedal wars posts (again) to the Fedal wars thread where they belong. Please continue the arguments there.
