2017 Mercedes Cup...ATP 250...Stuttgart, Germany
So what if it is only an ATP 250 event. The 2017 Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart, Germany has Roger Federer in the draw. Finally. It doesn't matter why he decided to take all that time off. He's counting his steps...to Wimbledon. How does it play out from here to there? We are going to find out.
The French Open? It's fake tennis. Zero net play as usual. Ok...the occasional drop shots. The accidental forays...like accidental tourists. They don't why they ended up there but there they are faced with a volley or an approach shot. What to do. Fake it. The French Open basically sucked. The only match that could have saved the whole thing fizzled when Dominic Thiem went down ever so meekly to Fafa. Two one handed backhands in the finals was the only thing that could have saved a Roger-less affair.
Here he is though. Live and in color. The Living Proof...soon to go Poof. Into the night...the journey into the night. Ferdinand Celine style. He's disappearing little by little from our sight and then we will be left with what. The Next Generation? Good luck with that. I won't be around. The French Open was tough to watch. Virtually zero interest. Which is a shame. It's all a shame. What do the bookies make of it? That what we came up with. That...and Stan Wawrinka cannot hit a forehand down the line if his life depends upon it.
Federer seeded number one with a possible meeting with Mischa Zverev in the quarters. Thomas Berdych in the house seeded number three. What? Grigor Dimitrov in the draw seeded number two. What? Just a question...two questions really.
Curious to see what kind of form Roger Federer takes in this Wimby warmup. What's he been up too? What about his preparation? It's all under wraps. Lock and key. It's a secret. A secret secret. Shhhhh...
He's back.
