Mr. Roger Federer already in Dubai practicing... he looks thin to me, but it might just be the pic.  Maybe he's losing some weight to gain some additional foot speed.

Back in black #red shoes


Enjoyable time on court

roger looks more lean general masterclass.

that is lean muscle tissue there general.

I think he is putting in the hard yards on the road and in the gym.

you know he snatched this title in 2012.


that field packs some major punch.

General,  Stan is scheduled to play in Acapulco, which is being played at the same time as Dubai. 
It's on hard court this year.  It will be his prep before Indian Wells.

I'll start a thread tomorrow for Acapulco if you haven't already done it. :)

Good night!

i forgot about that general masterclass:

Acapulco is on the hard courts this year.


what kind of a field are we looking at there? in addition to andy and stan, that is.

Federer does look thin, but maybe it's the dark shirt. Dark clothes make you look thinner.

It's nice to see that he's still playing against the big guns instead of getting the easy titles he could get by playing my obscure titles.

Kudos to him, and it's smart.

So it seems Spartan Stan is not playing in Acapulco or Dubai.  It seems he is still resting his leg and is still doing many interviews and sponsor related activities in Switzerland according to his twitter - https://twitter.com/stanwawrinka



What was that AO winner's prize again?  Oh yes, $2,650,000.  I guess he can pay a few bills with that while he goes on the talk show tour and gets more sponsors.   Evidently winning a major adds significantly to the portfolio.

So I guess we might see him next at Indian Wells unless he takes a wild card somewhere.

stan is rich beyond belief now. one slam is all it takes these days and sponsors start lining up.


you have 17 slams and speak as well as roger and you can start making $71 million a year. roger speaks around 6 languages and he speaks perfect English.

Very strong field as usual.

I will not be surprised if Federer wins the title here.
