Yesterday while playing the Madrid Open 2012 final, I noticed that Roger Federer got a slight thigh or hip strain?



So, now the big question is ::


Will Roger federer play at BNL d'Italia - Italian Open 2012, Rome ATP 1000 masters ---


Some of my sources are telling me ::


That Roger Federer has reached Rome today morning.


RF will resume practice tomorrow morning.


Thou, I am 99% sure that he will play at Italian Open, 2012 (as per my sources)....


As soon as any contrary info is out, we will let you know.

In tennis there is no rest period between each tournament
I always wonder,how can a player bearing this psychological pressure and physical?

Very true.... That's why, tennis players tend to retire by 32 or 33... its a very tough game unlike cricket or even soccer...

OK, I just now got a text from a friend in Rome who said Italian TV announced that Roger Federer will play ....



Will post other details as soon as I get other info..


Stay tuned...

Federer questionable for Rome, talks No. 1
Monday, May 14, 2012

Roger Federer, who won the Madrid Masters on Sunday and took the No. 2 ranking from Rafael Nadal, says he is unsure whether he will compete in Rome this week. Federer told reporters that he was taking anti-inflammatory medication during Madrid. "I have to give me a few days to see how I feel and make a decision," he said. "Tomorrow I travel to Rome, and play normally. The truth is that my body hurts after this tournament."
Federer also said that while he would like to break Pete Sampras' record of 286 weeks at No. 1, that he could live without the feat. Federer is currently only one week behind Sampras. He last held the No. 1 ranking in June 2010.
"Back then I was just trying to stay world No. 1 and I never really looked at Pete's record that much," he said. "I guess I could have chased it a few years ago, just really trying to beat that record. It's no secret for any player out there that you'd rather be No. 1 than No. 2. But I look at the long term, maybe if I wasn't good enough to break that record then maybe I never will be... I don't need to beat every record Pete set, he's my idol after all and I'm just happy I'm that close already. [But it would be] absolutely amazing."

Well, this interview is of Sunday night. On Monday, almost all Italian TV channels were reporting that Roger is almost sure to play.


In the next 7 to 8 hours, hopefully, a confirmed news will be out from RF camp as he's gonna resume practising today.
