Thumbs up Federer again!

First major tournament back, handily beats Nadal and wins what, $3,000,000.00 CAD?

Second one at Indian Wells, wallops fellow Swiss player Wawrinka, another million or 2 in the jeans.

He is over $105,000,000 USD in career winnings, 36 years old and climbing the ranks after major knee surgery. I think we have a Steve Austin here, amazing guy.

Anyone else watching ATP?

Leahy?

The only way this will happen is if he starts banging hookers and partying again, that's when he was at his prime..

Very cool! Who did you see? I was really hoping for another Nadal/Fed showdown, or Djok/Fed, but Stan was interesting to watch too. Jack is coming along well, it was fun watching Pospisil from Canada, had high hopes for him, and Monfils is just crazy.

Great watch, can't wait for the next one.

Watched pospisil, was really cool to see the stadium erupt being Canadian and all, lots of Canadians there, classy kid for sure.
Dusan lajovic has a back hand that was just awesome, we were right at court level and to see his speed and back hand...wow factor.
Not a tennis player, wife is, did tennis boot camp back at the condo in the mornings, was a great work out.

Right on. One day.

The awards ceremony was priceless, Stan was almost in tears using the excuse 'I am so tired after 10 days....' then looks at Roger and smiled, then said
"Roger is laughing at me, hi is an ah soul"
LOL holy wow that was funny, right on live broadcast in front of how many million?

Yes, what a great player...for me Roger is the best ever.
Second - Bjorn Borg, a great run in the late 70's.
Third - John McEnroe, not only a good player but great entertainment!
