"GOOD FRIDAY" AT THE MIAMI OPEN TENNIS TOURNAMENT - NOT SO GOOD A FRIDAY FOR ROGER FEDERER OR HIS FANS

Editors Note: This was sent just prior to Roger’s withdrawal. Roger has a FLU BUG and was unable to play the long awaited match against Juan Martin Del Potro. We are posting anyway to get the views of writer Don Petrine.

 

Live from the sexiest tennis tournament in the world, The Miami Open on Key Biscayne. The Good Friday card features world #1, Novak Djokovic, 17 time Major champion Roger Federer, Venus Williams and Indian Wells Champion Victoria Azarenka.

 

Today could be tough because of potentially hazardous thunderstorms this afternoon forecast for about the time Roger Federer plays DelPo. However Roger continues to be the center of attention after his layoff from knee surgery and rehab. Fed had some interesting things to say.

 

Roger said he injured his knee when he went to run a bath for his daughters and he heard a pop in his knee after a very simple movement. He is ready to play but if Federer feels anything out of the ordinary he will not play. His expectations are very low and he likes it that way.

Roger had some very important things to say about dope testing on the tour on the heels of Maria Sharapova’s drug suspension. He is concerned that he has only been tested once in ten years on the tour but he gets tested all the time in his home country of Switzerland. Implying that in certain countries the testing for drugs is lax.

 

Roger says he quadruple checks everything he puts in his body to make sure. He believes they should keep blood samples for ten years and store them. Opening the door for retroactive punishment for violators. Roger clearly is the statesman for the sport of tennis.

 

10sBalls Editirs Note:

We wish Roger a speedy recovery and it was great to see him around the site in Miami. His new NIKE shirt with his images as an EMOJI are wonderful. Glad to see NIKE has such a fun design and marketing team. Keep it fun!
