Federer Idle?

Federer an idle week? I don’t think so…. Our Chris wrote a great article but I don’t agree with him. I’m certain Roger is using this time well spent. I’m sure he had clothes he left at the cleaners that needed picking up…. maybe he had a tooth or two that might need dental work (all the Lindt chocolate balls he eats)…. basics that civilians don’t realize are hard to squeeze into tourney weeks…. having your eyes checked, skin looked at, teeth cleaned. All hard to schedule during travel away from home…

Maybe he wanted to play with his twins….. Civilians (anyone not on the pro tour) have no idea what life on the road is like. … It’s a headache! You have to be a “road warrior “. Especially when you are RF and travelling with twin girls …travelling with one baby is hard. Two is twice as hard….

How does the MIGHTY FED juggle all the balls? He is a Daddy, a Husband, a Brother, a Son, and an Uncle of twins…. Then there’s the rest of the family and friends….. The tennis…the practice, the training, the sponsor appearances, the foundation and charity work?

Rogi, 10sballs.com hopes you are on a beach feeling the sand between your toes. We hope you are playing with your girls. We hope you are resting. We hope you are sleeping. We know he is preparing for the clay. Don’t be fooled….. Who agrees with me that some time away is good or is Chris right? Maybe time will tell…..
