Federer, The Sole
Top Four, is Playing Davis Cup
Since
the days he first began winning Grand Slam titles, Roger Federer has
repeatedly insisted that one of his career goals was to win the Davis
Cup for Switzerland. But now, two years have elapsed since the 30 year
–old won the last of his record 16 singles majors, there seems to have
been a distinct reassessment. "It doesn't matter when and where it is,
it's all a matter of priorities. My team is a group of great friends,
that's what I enjoy about it, that I can spend some time with them, and
hopefully try to win but if we don't it doesn't matter. It's about
trying your best and having a good time.”
No Olympic Mixed
Doubles for Federer
Roger
Federer has finally buried a pipe-dream pairing with Martin Hingis for
the London Olympic mixed event, with the Swiss confirming that the
fantasy partnership is now officially off the table.
The 30-year-old
Federer will devote his Games energies to the singles event and the
doubles where he won the 2008 Beijing gold medal with Stanislas
Wawrinka.
Gonzalez Sets Date
for Retirement
Fernando
Gonzalez has announced his imminent retirement after enduring a
succession of career threatening injuries and only being able to play
five main ATP World Tour tournaments in the last 16 months.
