Roger, you are an inspiration for all of the tennis world. You are the Greatest of All Time, regardless of what the naysayers might state. Get well soon, and I hope to see the 4 Majors in your possession by the end of next year! Go RF.

The break is really a must in his situation. Somebody must've told him he can't win with mono if he doesn't take it easy for a while. Actually, he should've done it at the beginning of '08, but has been in denial since and kept on going. Hope he's all right & will return all guns blazing. Go Roger!!

Roger, you are a fantastic player and ambassador for the game of tennis. Please, please, please - take all the time you need to be as fit and and healthy as possible before you play again.

Best of luck and congratulations on the US Open win!

James, Federer has recently claimed the US Open crown. No matter under what circumstances, thats a big achievement and suggests he is doing fine without Roache.
You deserve the break Roger, although when you return you will have a fight on your hands.

Should never have sacked his coach,Tony Roache.
Get a break and get a coach
