I have been slacking as of late with regards to keeping up with posts. However, Roger has not been active after his win at the US Open, and I didn’t have anything to write about.

The latest Roger news is that he withdrew from the tournament in Stockholm because he doesn’t want to wear himself thin.

I need to get a proper rest and get strong again so that I am 100% fit for the remainder of the year or next year. At this point, I am not sure when I will be ready to play again, but I hope to be back at some point before the end of the year.

Those were the words Roger spoke about his withdrawal. I think that is very understandable considering the hardships that plagued Roger during the 2008 season. I would rather see Roger playing fewer tournaments at a higher level than having him play more tournaments and watching him struggle.

I wish Roger all the best in indoor season, and hopefully he start his bid for number one with a bang.
