OFF COURT - ROGER UNABLE TO PLAY

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

C'est bien dommage, Roger, mais tu as fait ce que tu pouvais, et à la fin, tu as fait ce que tu as dû faire. C'est ta santé qui compte surtout. Repose-toi bien, cher Roger, prends soin de toi. Que ta guérison soit rapide, et j'espère que tu pourrais jouer au TMC Shanghai.

One Love
Sandie xXx

Dearest Roger our King,

Sorry to hear about that, your health is most important though (more important than anything else on earth!!!??!!!!!). As I've mentioned here before, we want to watch you play for, well, at least for as long as you like (not to mention about the number of years to be fair) and in good shape, we'll respect for whatever decison you make. Of course some of your fans will be disappointed, but I'll be even more disappointed if you're feeling not well or anything. Take good care....

Luv always

Dear Roger
I'm so sorry to hear you're unable to play :( I hope it's more a precaution than a really serious problem. Better safe than sorry. It would have been nice for you to go for a title that is missing from your collection, but trying to be 100% for Shanghai is more important. I hope we'll see you there in 2 weeks...
You have all our understanding and support and our very best wishes for a quick recovery.
Love,
Christina

Hope you are fine, Roger....
It's a wise decision to listen to your body, rather than make it worse.
Take care, rest well and see you soon in Shanghai! :)

Come on folks, don`t be disappointed, he had almost 10 years without a physical injury, so let`s think this boost his chances of winning THE MASTERS CUP.

Funny thing is that James will have a opportunity to reach Shanghai without defeating Roger.
