Jean Lean Hi Roger! : ) thank you for this opportunity; how do you find keeping your life balanced and not focusing too much on tennis? And how has that balance changed as you've gotten older?
Jean Lean I think I've always been good at being able to having distance from Tennis when I'm on vacation. I think it is one of my strengths- when I leave the ground of a tennis court, and I come home, I can disconnect a bit from tennis.

Fiona Wong Hello Roger! You are my hero, my idol and my reason for life. I want you to keep playing Tennis for as long as it makes you happy. Your fans love you, and I will support you no matter what happen.
My QUESTION for you is what music do you listen to? I have always wondered that. I am sure you have a fantastic taste in music and I would love for you to share it with us!
I am going to the Australian Open next month and it is my dream to meet you there. I hope it will come true. Best wishes, I love you!
Fiona Wong I grew up with with Dance music, then moved to Hard Rock- AC/DC and Lenny Kravitz. I listen to more general pop music too, and at the moment I am listening now to my friend Gavin Rossdale cd from Bush. I hope to see you in Australia!

How do you effectively recycle your sportswear?

Marco Yeung Roger , With most top players suffering from injuries, i am curious of your secrets in keeping an almost injury-free career ???

-----------------------------------------------------------
Gabriel Banasiak Hey Roger!
I just wanted to ask u, how do u keep so calm and always so relaxed on the tennis court?
@Gabriel Banasiak When things aren't going my way I try to see the big picture. Hold my ground. I prove myself that I can do it. It is all part of being well prepared, so that you don't panic in a situation like this.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Tinnie Rakotomalala Hey! : ) I hope you're fine! My question is: What's your best memory of this season?
@Tinnie Rakotomalala. Thanks for your question! I had a wonderful end of the season by winning 17 matches in a row. I had a great season- sure I had some tough losses but I found a way to bounce back and now be in a good position for 2012. I am very excited to be in the gym and on the tennis court again- especially after a nice vacation.
