I'm hoping for a Federer-Djokovic final.
hoping for a fed-djokovic final as well...
Will Federer play?
Emm, not sure whether Federer will play anot, but the final in Roland Garros was not too long but Federer had a few tough matches before the final.. and he would only have less than 1 day to prepare on grass...
I voted for Novak, since I think fed will not play.
even if he did play, he would have a let down playing 3 straight weeks.
what's all this talk about fed not playing?
They haven't. Fed has a 7-4 record with 5 hard and 2 clay. However, during the past two years, Djokovic has a 4-3 record, winning their last two meetings at Rome and IW.Have Roger & Novak ever met on grass? That would be an interesting match.
I'm hoping to see Fed school Novak in a match on grass. I hope the Federer 3-set curse against Novak and Murray will not spread to the grass.
which curse is that?![]()
Its curse called- "Federer is Chuck Norris" in which he plays only 1-st set, and then hes bored and let the oponnent called Novak or Murray win the whole match.
p.s- Also, all non grand slam events are not important until Fed win them!
oh THAT curse! :lol:

so has Fed withdrawn yet?any news?
Not on Federer's official website and not on ATP Halle's official website. He's not scheduled for tomorrow (Tsonga and Djokovic are), so i guess he'll play starting wednesday
With that said I do think slams are much more important than masters and atp tourneys regardless if Fed wins them or not.
Of course they are, though, to some people its the only thing that matters since Fed is "not that much interested" in masters.Hes probably BORED of them.yeah
Well I'm sure Fed still wants to win everytime he steps on court(plus if he didn't care I doubt he'd break a racquet against Novak in Miami)but he is trying to peak for slams,him and Sampras always did that.They sort of always arranged their schedules around slams.
Yes its smart thing to do, see Rafael now? His knees are bothering him because he played every freaking tournament..Thats a shame, but dont underestimate masters series, 1 masters title+ masters semi or final is almost like a grand slam achievement in ATP points comparaison. No?![]()
Agree,I think Nadal could learn quite a bit about scheduling from guys like Sampras or Fed.
As for the grand slams,I don't think they're just about points,especially for guys like Nadal and Fed.It means a much more than that to them.
which curse is that?![]()
Yes but ATP points >> ranking>> world #1... That means alot to every player, especially to Fed i think.
Agree,I'm sure #1 means a lot to Fed and he will try to regain it(I think he said that himself at the end of last year).Fed also said after winning Madrid that he was very happy he won his first masters shield since 2007 so I think he still cares for masters,not as much as he does for slams of course but that goes for any player.
The curse Fed suffers against Murray and Djokovic in 3-set matches. He wins the 1st set convincingly, and then he losses focus in the 2nd and start making a lot of errors and losses the match.
roger might skip this event.
I guess we wont really know until he shows the whites of his eyes, but if he is gonna skip it, wouldnt he have told the official website by now?
maybe but ı wont be supriesed if he announce it tomorrow..
There was an article somewhere in which he said today that he wasn't sure yet. He's got the class to pull out in time, but on the other hand the tourney organization will wait for him if that makes him decide to come in the last moment
I'm a bit shaky on my rules but isn't the pulling out after the acceptance list is out penalty only for atp 500 events?
