he does have his own section generalito.


its just that nobody was willing to pick up the ball and run for him. we are still pretty small.


this is his very own separate board. we can try moving it up.


we put most of the inactive boards near the bottom of the main page because we are still so small.

we have 100 members. we need about 300 or so and we will be active enough.

Confident Federer sees opportunity in Nadal's U.S. Open absence

NEW YORK -- Roger Federer hopes to see his rival Rafael Nadal back on tour soon, but he won't deny that the Spaniard's absence from the U.S. Open creates an opportunity. Nadal announced last week that he would not defend his U.S. Open title due to a right wrist injury he sustained during training, meaning the Spaniard's stronghold over Federer -- he owns a 23-10 advantage in their career head-to-head -- won't be getting any worse in New York City.
"For us, the players, I mean, we hope he gets well and he feels better quickly and all these things and he's back on tour soon," Federer told reporters on Saturday. "But at the same time, I think what stands out is the opportunity to try to take advantage of him, the fact that he's not here. It's one less really difficult player to beat maybe."

Federer comes into New York as the No. 2 seed after a great summer hardcourt season.Federer went 9-1 on the North American hard courts, making five straight finals and winning his sixth Western & Southern Open title a week ago. This is a far cry from how he arrived in New York last year, where he struggled with a bad back and lost to Tommy Robredo in the fourth round.
"I think last year I was trying to convince myself I did have an opportunity, because I feel like once you have had success and once you know how to win majors, or U.S. Opens for that matter, yeah, you can always do it again," Federer said. "I believe it's the case, but you just need a lot more luck and the draw opening up. Because I just kind of felt like it was always going to be hard for me to beat the top-5, top-10 players. I felt like I had little margin against guys ranked just outside of the top 10 to No. 30 in the world. And then the rest of the field I felt like I could manage it somehow, but the confidence was going away quickly, too, just because I was just not moving so well. I was scared to have another setback, and so it was just not as clear-cut and simple as it is this year."

Don't go overboard TT, you only needed 2 posts to qualify...

Not at all. I get a lot of articles off of FB, mostly Nadal, due to my um, interests, but occasionally I get articles on Roger, Novak, and Andy that I find interesting and I post them for the different shows on Camelot. I am a team player and I do it for the sake of Camelot and for those who support those players.

I was not overloading on Roger, I posted in Andy and Novak as well. I already knew that I had reached my quota . I'm all paid up.

Roger Federer Sets Stage for Run at No. 1 After Dubai Title

But after capturing his record seventh Dubai crown, a bigger prize could be in his sights.
While Federer may not admit it publicly, the possibility of returning to No. 1 in the world has to be extremely tantalizing. Not only would he prove something to himself by vaulting past his younger rivals and hush the calls for his retirement, but the Swiss would add another milestone to his resume.
Andre Agassi currently holds the record as the oldest male tennis player to be ranked No. 1. On May 11, 2003, Agassi reached that plateau at 33 years and 11 days old.

For the man who already has everything, surpassing that mark would only bolster Federer's case as the Greatest of All Time. He's competing in an era with more depth of talent than arguably any other in tennis history. With Djokovic and Rafael Nadal—two legends in their own right—as well as Andy Murray, the fight for No. 1 has been extremely competitive the last decade.

It's easy to forget that Federer is significantly older than his rivals. He'll celebrate his 34th birthday on August 8. Nadal will turn 29 this June while Djokovic and Murray will both be 28 during May. In a sport where movement and foot speed are so vital, it's a testament to Federer's sheer talent that he's been able to stay relevant for this long.
