just a small question.. WHy is it that federer news has only 20 pages while nadal news has 440 pages??? :shock:
yeah.. i get it.. u r funny.. but i want to know how the moderators allow it to happen? did they delete a big thread earlier..
That is the new BLXt 93. Wow, we'll see if he uses it in matches or is still playtesting it.
No. Nadal news is 4 women chatting constantly and a few arguments that keep going for pages.
so u mean to say with out any deletion of threads etc etc.. nadal's thread is 20 times bigger than federer's???? that is awful.. and condescending for the GOAT
This only shows that the majority of the Nadal fans are insecure women without men or highschool kids with to much time on their hands
wwooowww.w.. I am excited..

Wow! Expect a Djoko like resurgence from Fed after DC.
Being in a team with all the camaraderie will do Fed tons of good.
Won't be surprised if he came roaring back in the USO and crushed everyone..
DC team dinner. Fed with flash-eyes

The average Swiss is afraid of nuclear disasters, unemployment and foreigners. What are you as a “world citizen” afraid of?
I’m concerned about world poverty. I am aware that also in Switzerland not everyone is doing well financially and that the unemployment is turning into a serious problem. But elsewhere the problems are much more serious; there are nations with 20% unemployment. I am interested in the situation of all the countries that I visit. However for me it’s also important how the Swiss think. That’s why I read newspapers everyday when I’m in Switzerland.
You established a foundation to support children mainly in Africa.
I support via Sporthilfe (Sports Help – a Swiss foundation) also young athletes. I found that it was a good combination on the one hand to do something in Switzerland and on the other hand to help children in Africa receive education. It’s nice to be able to give something back. It shouldn’t always be money. It’s always possible to help for example by giving time. There are so many people who need help. Everybody can give a thought, even if things don’t go well for oneself, that there’s always someone for whom help is more necessary. In this respect I’d like to be a good example with the Roger Federer Foundation.
What triggers the most positive emotions in you off the court?
The family of course. It makes me happy to see the kids grow. However it also gives me pleasure to spend time in Switzerland. After the “tragic defeat at Wimbledon”, as my loss was described by some of the media, I had unexpectedly four unplanned days. I said to Mirka: “What do we want to do?” Maybe nothing at all?” It’s nice to be able to decide spontaneously. It makes me happy to live without a plan for a short time. Otherwise planning is very important to me so that I can manage time well.
Your popularity must also be based on your elegant style of play and your fairness.
Earlier I was told that I was too kind to achieve success. However I didn’t want to be a lout in order to succeed – I’d rather be kinder and a little bit less successful. I wanted to be myself and told myself – if that suffices then it’s fine, otherwise you are just not good enough. I decided to do my best in practice and to play hard but fair in matches. The fact that I have a good image is nice but on the other hand it’s not that important. What matters is that my friends and family members respect me and that I don’t get mobbed in the street. I am happy when people like supporting me and watching me play but I’m aware that I can’t please everybody.
You are known to be “Mr Perfect” on the court. However every person has weaknesses. Can you let us know two-three of them?
(hesitates) I can’t cook…
…unlike Nadal.
Can Rafa really cook?
He said that he cooked dinner for his team at Wimbledon many times.
I’m lucky to have been always surrounded by great women who cook well and make my life easier. Today I live mainly in hotels. I can’t even say that cooking is a weakness – I can’t do it at all! Earlier it was a weakness that I was often late. However in this respect I improved strongly. Surely I have more weaknesses but you’d better ask the others, not me (laughs).
How does a perfect day look for you?
There are many options: is it the wedding day? Is it the day when the kids were born? Is it a Wimbledon victory?
