Love him, hope he stays in the game a while longer just so I can watch him play.

(32,100 posts)but I don't think they were showing it. He'll qualify for London if he wins this tourney.

(56,177 posts)Good news about the year-end tourney...let's hope he does it!

(56,177 posts)He is #3 and Juan Martin is #1, the only two seeds left...not sure if they are on the same side of the draw, though.

(32,100 posts)which makes this a great tournament! Either way I'm happy ... Roger has to play this guy next: V. Pospisil

(56,177 posts)He does seem a little more focused in this tournament than in the past!

(32,100 posts)This is the only match they've played & Roger won: 2011 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Canada Montreal, Canada Hard R32 Federer, Roger 7-5, 6-3 Stats
He's 23 and a little taller than Roger - currently ranked 40. Definitely potential to upset Roger if he's not playing well, but as you said he seems to be focused on making it to London.

(77,091 posts)...... which is almost unfathomable, has sharpened his focus. I'd like to see him squeeze out another good year, even if it's not a Federer-esque good year. Look to Tommy Haas for inspiration.

(32,100 posts)he should be able to do that. I love seeing Juan Martin win also - it is a good time for him to return. He could give Novak a run for his $$$ if he stays healthy.

(56,177 posts)I think Juan Martin would give Rafroid fits, and I'd love to see him knock that fraud down a few pegs.

(32,100 posts)Fed, Del Potro and Novak. Rafa has Tsonga, Ferrer and Berdych. So, there ya go. Federer will be lucky if he gets through the first round opponent which is likely to be Youzhny. I fear this will not end well.
