And btw, let's not forget there are only 3 clay masters events and Monte Carlo I think is not even mandatory, there are 6 hard court masters and the WTF have always been indoor hard.

The tour is clearly tailored to favour one man, they've never considered changing it.

The WTF should at least alternate between the two, does not matter if it comes off of the back of the indoor events, it would be the same for everyone regardless.

No. Get rid of grass altogether, it's rubbish.

Wimbledon should be clay.

Two clay slams, two hard courtCool

Federer on Eurosport: "I don't know what I said [in the speech] but I hope to be back next year."

Happy So I got all worried for nothing.
But at least this clarification meant I wasn't the only one to react over him not saying anything about next year.

I think Federer will play RG.I think you will be under pressure from the ITF/individual slams to not just no show slams for the rest of your career as they don't want to set precedents like this where players just sac off their weakest slam.Thing is if Federer actually played the French he would be 2nd fav anyway, it seems a little weird to give that up, in sense he only really needs Nadal to falter and he's back to clear fav again. Though he spoke last year how he felt a big confidence thing vs Nadal was not playing him on clay.


If he thinks it does him more harm than good, he will skip clay season again imo. And rightfully so. There's a reason his body is holding up whereas his main opponents are breaking down five years younger. And that's smart scheduling, as well as having a playing style that's less taxing to your body. Don't think he'll give into pressure from ITF/Roland Garros.

May depend on whether he cares about the number 1 ranking, which he doesn't seem to that much.  If it looks like it's in sight he might go for the huge jump in ranking points even getting to say the semis would provide, by comparison with not having played it at all last season. Problem for him is that he's relatively unlikely to do well at the French anyway, even more so if he doesn't warm up with another clay event or two and then he's flogging himself harder than he wants to or should do, probably. After all, he's got this selfish desire to continue winning grand slams, mostly to upset mesmerised, it seems from this thread.
