Cilic defeat Verdasco... I tought the ATP banner jinx only work on our Roger but, they just replaced Roger's picture with Murray today, now what? DelPo...

I'd rather Roger went out to a French player and an underdog than anyone else, say, an English player or a Serb! :-) I always liked Julien Benneteau, and he’s joined a pretty exclusive club!

Fed said he was "on the mood to do well" in Paris but on court, again, he seemed lifeless and passive. that was very disappointing... i sure hope we will see a different Federer at the WTF. as good as Fed’s year was so far, to lose like that at the first match of MS is just pathetic… Fed said he was “on the mood to do well” in Paris but on court, again, he seemed lifeless and passive. that was very disappointing… i sure hope we will see a different Federer at the WTF.

Seriously - the finals of all 4 majors? And winning 2 of them? To think what a big deal we make of Safin, when Roger's accomplished almost as much in a single season. But I'm still annoyed that Roger lost. . .to Julien Benneteau!!! Glad I could ease your pain a little!

This is going to sound bad...but I now hope Rafa loses really soon so that Fed can retain the no1 with less challenge. Sad & pathetic of me, I know :(...but what can a fan do when her hero loses? hehe...am highly ashamed by such thoughts though.
