Yay I will be attending tommorow

Allez! Hope you blog like last year

And who says Roger will retire soon? He is planning to play till 2016!!
Q. You mentioned your plan is to play until the 2012 Olympics.
After everything you have gone through, is that still your
plan?

A. Yes - at least - then we will see how it goes. But I would
like to play for a very long time. I have had a good year
a good stretch over the last few years, and I feel healthy.
I have got a game that doesn't consume too much energy, so
that's a big benefit for me looking ahead. But I am even
more aware today of my schedule than I was in the past, but
I played a lot of matches again last year even though it
wasn't really my best. But definitely before 2012 I would
still like to play Wimbledon. London Olympics is very
intriguing for me, and then after that I would like to play
another four years hopefully. Very interesting interview after todays match (http://www.aamiclassic.com.au/files/...RER14.1.09.doc). He also talks about Helfant, rates Rafa as the favorite for the AO next to himself, says 27 is not really old, says he loves watching Lleyton play and thinks he can come back, and says that maybe it is better that Rafa and Nole are not in Kooyong since it is not beneficial to play them so close to a big event.
