I was rooting for federer. I guess it was just not meant to be.

now nole gets monfils and nadal gets wawrinka.

Why were you rooting for Federer? Anyway, as I've already mentioned in one of my posts here, Federer now has a whole new army to deal with. He's not getting younger and these players are playing better as their reaching that age. Federer can only sneak in if he gets a very nice draw and that will be hard to get in Masters or Majors. And he's more keen on that.

I don't really have much confidence in monfils. he has been too inconsistent for too long.

roger on the other hand is pretty good on fast hard courts. I wanted a to see a tough nole vs roger battle.



I agree with you. It is only going to get harder and harder from here on out. he is going to have to work really hard if he wants to stay a factor in the game.

emma I did it again. I was not paying attention and I hit the modify button when trying to respond to your post.

this is what happens when I am trying to do too many things at the same time.

No worries. I can still read it. You can fix it though.

Anyway, ah I see your angle now. It would have been interesting to see Federer against Nole no doubt - especially from Federer's side. I think he'd be more keen on playing the top players than, say, others like Monfils, Raonic, Berdych, Isner etc. He did play very well against Nadal not so long (at Cincy if I remember correctly) so who knows. He has WTF coming up however if though qualifies. I think that's a tournament that will tell a lot of about Federer and what he can look forward to come next year. I hear he has also fired Paul. So who's next or is he going to be on his own? Because I was a huge Sampras fan I can relate to all this - how he and his fans feel but most importantly, how both of them are going to handle the retirement should that also be on the card.  Keep in mind, Sampras retired all of a sudden. Nothing was planned. So who knows what kind of fate is ahead of Federer though he does have a huge fan following so that's something he'll need to take seriously into account before planning for retirement.
