Eden asked me to start this thread, let's hope it will bring Roger good luck :)

Roger has played great tennis and won his last two tournaments in Rotterdam and Dubai.

He had not played that great in february for many years (didn't play in february in 2008-2009-2010 especially, having physical problems), then there's hope he brings the good form to Indian Wells this time ! :clap2:

But he will have to adapt his game to a slower surface, grind more from the baseline.

His draw :

- R1 Kudla or Tursunov : Tursunov has been injured or out of form this year, the 19 year-old American Kudla might be Fed's opponent, he nearly beat Roddick a few weeks ago and had a good start of the year, number 90 in the Race at the moment, he's not a mug ;)

- R32 : the big TEST Raonic probably !! :unsure: Very tough opponent, it may depend on a few big points.

- R16 : Melzer or Monfils or Davydenko : Monfils comes back from injury, Davydenko lost to Chiudinelli in Dubai, I trust more Melzer, who won Memphis, but who still has a broken toe and sometimes back problems

- QF : Del Potro or Ferrer or Verdasco

- SF : Nadal (or Tsonga, Tipsarevic, Dolgopolov ...)

Let's go Roger !!!

wow, what a week, what an effort from Feds! Battling illness, a horror draw, stupid horrible surface and bounce :worship:
This is nothing short of a sensational start to 2012. Just what the doctor ordered.
He is coming for you Pete :armed:
;)

Okay, I know I am getting ahead of myself but its been an inspiring effort from Roger here, I never expected him to win this and it didnt seem like he did either. But never write Federer off :D
I love the spring in Roger's step this year, there is something good about this Fed and this is going to be a good year baby! :rocker2:

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS. :) Nadal just 825 pts ahead now. :)

Congrats again Rog, so proud, keep it up!

I want Miami now!!

said it for years here, this is why he always needs full schedules - he plays better when he's winning matches upon matches/tennis upon tennis

Impressive title for Federer.

He is really putting himself in a position to have a shot at no1 again :worship:. He will need a slam though. Someway it makes me sad realizing if he makes it(1or 2 slams + no1), It might be the last year he plays really really motivated and probably mostly go down in tennis level and results from there:(.

The record number of tournament victories for a player over the age of 30 - is 15 by Agassi. Connors had 14.

Federer has 6 already.
