Federer just received more money for playing a tennis match than most people make on their lives. I found the value for him.

Yeah, the money, but he has enough for ten, twenty lifetimes already. I'd be surprised if that was big motivation for him at this point.

I can't believe promising Bellucci needed three sets to dispose of overrated Federer. Thomaz better pull himself together for the Australian.

Someone forgot the switzerland tax man was there too for his cut

rates include Federal Tax, Cantonal Tax, Communal Tax and Church Tax

Basel-Land 40.78%

What Church did you say he went too ?

smoledman · 12-06-2012, 06:36 PM

Fed is treating these exos as training.

There was supposed to be only one match here but the cheapest tickets were sold in minutes so they added the second day. Wanted to go but too expensive and impossible to get the cheap tickets.

You bring up a valid point. It would be nice to see a few seats left for the ticket counter.

He has been living, since 2008, in Canton Schwyz, tax there is lower.

Church Tax is not mandatory.

--Free trip to South America, and a chance to convert more fans (not that he doesn't have enough)
--These exhos are pretty much practice to Fed; he seems to not take them very seriously
--12 million bucks for a glorified vacation. Hard for even multimillionaires to pass up (for their foundations)

is sick.

im going to be completely honest anyone that pays over 40$ for that match is a moron the level of play fed vs bellucci was sh*t if your going to be paid atleast try your hardest

underground · 12-07-2012, 03:41 AM

LOL Fed just can't fake these losses.

The DF in the last game was so obvious, you can even see a very slight change in the service motion. Not much but it catches you in the corner in the eye and you no it's not gonna go in.

The FH into the net was pretty obvious too.

Fed acted like he won at the end anyway so does it really matter?

Millions in the bank just to throw a bone for a mid-ranking player at an exo? Looks like Fed did win

I thought his sunday match was against Tommy? I was looking forward to that one

You are correct and I'll fix that now. I did some research and my info is outdated (as in, Ferrer has since pulled out).

With Tsonga and Federer, I hope we'll see a lot of serve and volley.

Netspirit · 12-08-2012, 02:43 PM

Fed-Tsonga is about to start
