Seems quite patronising
And he doesn't admit that he won the French and Wimbledon without Nadal there

Oh c'mon ! it's not his fault .... if Andy won Wimby without Rafa and Roger won't you be pleased for the guy ? I found it ridiculous to not  admit that Roger is were it belongs , you don't like him fine , but his talent is there .....

Thanks Sylvie.  This is quite a funny article.

An Open Letter As Dictated By Roger Federer To Bleacher Report (Humor)
by Robert Orzechowski -   Written on August 10, 2009

Hello All My Fans and Everyone Else,
Yeah, I mean I just wanted to write this brief letter, you know...to kind of respond to all the feedback out there with Rafa and all, you know...
I mean, I won Wimbledon and the French Open and Rafa didn't, you know...He is still a great competitor, you know and I look forward to battling with him some more, you know and Andy Murray is improving and so is Andy Roddick who right now is, you know, playing unbelievable.
I mean, don't worry Andy, you are you know, going to come back next year and win it if I don't make at least the semi-finals so I am sure you are going to do well...you know?
I mean all these younger players are going to come at me you know and I am just going to do my best, I mean to beat them and defend my title, you know.

Sure I mean these guys are all dangerous and can get at you if you are not with your game, you know.
You know, I have been through some hard times, you know.  Wimbledon 2008 was difficult for me and Rafa grabbed the crown at the very last minute due to darkness, you know.  I mean. That was difficult.
So Andy I know how it feels to lose, you know?  I know how it feels to let the tears all out when you are trying to hold it in you know.
I don't know what is going to happen for the US Open, you know, but I feel that I have a great chance to reclaim the glory, you know.  I mean it is astounding to think that I could take home a sixth US Open and consecutively, you know.
I mean, I don't know what else I can happen , right ? 

  Well that is about all you know.  I mean, I have nothing else to say and if I did you wouldn't know what I was talking about, you know so let's leave it at that.
Sincerely

Roger Federer .

Editor's Note:  Yeah, I mean, we know Roger, you know?

[MurrayRocks]

Yeah, I love the editors note, Andy is exsactly the same

Yeah youre right, and I do like him! It's probably just the translation barrier
just to be clear, I do like Federer!

Cool !

From 5Live's Twitter...

"DL: Needle between these two? James Auckland reports that Federer cold-shouldered Murray on practice court recently."

Hhmmmm

[Mark]

Can't imagine that...

I am actually starting to like Federer. Oh dear.

Sarcasm right?

[Mark]

Oh dear.

Haha, his game becomes even better when watching from a journalistic point of view, as oppossed to watching it thinking f**k off you big nosed tw*t!

I love his style of tennis...and used to love him, now his god-like persona drives me up the wall but still like the tennis
