  1. Federer avoided DC all the years that Spain was ruling that empire and once he realized that Rafa wasn’t playing DC he took his chance and it might just pay off. Fed knows that with Rafa in the Spanish team, he needn’t bother.

  4. Ha,ha. As we anticipated, the Federazzi© have elevated leading Swizterland to a Davis Cup win as the pinnacle of Federer’s achievements in tennis.

    from Steve Fink
    ––When Federer heads to France with his compatriots for the Davis Cup Final late in November, it will be among the primary quests of his entire professional life––

    he goes on to add
    ––In the final analysis, Federer should join other all-time greats like Rod Laver, Pete Sampras, Nadal, Djokovic and Bjorn Borg who all have celebrated the singular experience of leading their country to victory in the Davis Cup. Federer very much belongs in that elite company, and the reward would be entirely fitting. He could wear that achievement proudly on his lapel, knowing he had totally earned it ––

  5. “On the August 31, the middle Sunday of the U.S. Open, Federer cut the figure of a slender middle-man, lost on his way to the parking lot. Not long after beating Marcel Granollers, Federer made his way through the hinterlands of the U.S. Open grounds headed to the television compound, stopping when he reached the Tennis Channel’s production truck.

    Federer had heard that Bob Rossburg, a longtime tennis producer, was working his last day on the job. The two had barely met. But Federer cherishes his role as tennis’ unofficial ambassador, and was happy to surprise “Rossi” and wish the man well in his retirement. A tournament official offered to transport Federer on a golf cart. “Thanks,” he said. “But I’ll walk.” A handler warned that every security and volunteer would stop and ask for a photo. “That’s fine,” Federer said companionably. “I’m used to it.”

    At the truck Federer chatted with Rossburg as though they’d been golfing buddies for years. They talked about golf and tennis and their kids, Federer volunteering that his newborn twin boys had already differentiated themselves from his four-year-old twin girls. “You know what stuck out most?” Rossburg recalled a few days later. “He never felt rushed.”

    Next week, we’ll tell a comparably beneficent Nadal story.”

  6. “She was wondering about the fans’ rooting interests, the meaning of the noises coming from the crowd. Unaware of the now deep if not quite universal worship of the Federer game, she had surmised that the fans started out pulling for Monfils—rooting for the underdog, as they do in most instances—but that, because Federer was now trailing, they were feeling sorry for him and giving him encouragement. But no. That was not what was happening here.

    “Even down close to the court, in the media section along the base line, reporters, who are supposed to abstain from cheering or rooting, let out grunts of dismay at each plunked backhand. ”

  13. “Thumbs Down: When Stan Wawrinka decided to pull out of the Moselle Open in Metz at the last moment, citing fatigue, he was apparently so tired that he couldn’t lift the telephone to call the promoters and give them the bad news. Instead, he emailed them. It was a particularly tough blow for the tournament because he had an “agreement”—read: appearance fee—with the event, and his likeness had been used to promote it. In a rare bout of honesty (promoters are notoriously leery of offending players, and for good reason), tournament organizers admitted that they were “extremely disappointed and angry.”

    Granted, Wawrinka was involved in a successful Davis Cup semifinal tie the previous weekend, but he played just one singles match, which he won in straight sets, and he was stopped in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open almost a week before that. So the workload for the world No. 4 certainly was heavy, but not impossible. So much for meeting obligations—ones you sought out. ”
