Roger unable to play
31.10.2008 | Off Court
Dear Fans,
Due to a stiff back, I have decided to pull out of my match against James Blake tonight. My back has been stiff for the last couple of days and I woke up this morning and it did not respond to the treatment I had last night. As a precaution and because I would be unable to play at 100% tonight, I have unfortunately had to take the difficult decision not to play. I thank the tournament and French fans for their understanding and support.
All the best,
Roger
Sorry to hear about your bad back. I agree that it is best not to strain a part of your body that hurts. Besides you need to be in good health to play well.
Take some time off and get better.
All the best to you in Shanghai. Take
I agree with Tilou. JWT has such a great family and coach surrounding him. Also JWT has suffered so much for a 23 year old that I dont think he is going to waste his energy with non-sens. Look at Djerko's family...nothing more need to be said.

"My one hope is that J-W does not change from the person he is now and become a monster like Nada and the Djoke...that would be so disappointing, don't you think?"
I would not worry about that at all. Jo-Wi has such class. As yo
I watched the Paris final yesterday, and did enjoy it, but found myself torn between the 2 players, as I really enjoy their tennis!
My one hope is that J-W does not change from the person he is now and become a monster like Nada and the Djoke..
Don't you go often to Paris? That is your city, no?
I would love a Roger-Tsonga final! Of course, I want Roger to win. And I think Tsonga would be happy to be second in his first TMC! They both would be happy. And me too.
Lucky you!!
Going to Paris is always such a treat. You could always watch Shangai from Paris.
I hope JWT will not be in Rogie group. Can you just imagine a final Rogie/JWT? I dont think I could watch... or only with one eye.
I watched that awesome final yesterday. I like both Nalby and Jo-Wi. They both were amazing. So many amazingly great shots! As Robbie Koenig said... we were seeing shots from ridiculous to sublime! Actually I had sent you a pm ask
I feel it was a wise decision for you not to play the match against James Blake. We want you to be around for a very long time so do what you need to do to stay fit. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
