This is what Federer has to say about the night session

"1've skipped breakfast for two weeks now. Seriously, that's what it's been. I've been going to bed at 3 a.m. every morning and wake up at noon. Is that a nice life? I don't know. I enjoy playing on Rod Laver Arena, but in some ways I'd rather have the day session because that creates a normal rhythm and a normal life. Going to bed at 3:00 in the morning and getting up at noon is not what you're supposed to be doing.?

I remember Rafa expressing the same sentiments when he had all the night sessions at the USO.

Each has its advantage and disadvantage. Nothing to complain about.

LOL! The whole story has been debunked and Andy has denied that he ever complained. The Daily Mail, as usual, created a sensationalist story out of thin air.

Such sharp reporting here. Here Lindahl, this will keep you up to speed:

"So I have no complaints about the schedule at all, and I didn't complain about it the other day. I was asked a question about the schedule."

It has nothing to do with favouring Fed and all to do with favouring what the officials believe to be the more commercially profitable matchup. Round 2: Murray/Joao Sousa vs Fed/Davydenko; Round 3: Murray/Ricardis Berankis vs Fed/Tomic; Round 4: Murray/physically ailing Simon vs Fed/Raonic and Round 4: Murray/Chardy vs Fed/Tsonga. It doesn't take rocket science to work out who is going to get the primetime night slot with these matchup on offer.

If tennis players want a normal life (Federer 's comments ) I suggest he retire soon and enjoy his breakfast with his twins...Lot of players played last thursday in the 40 c heat I am sure Fed would not like that either

racquet - yep, my thoughts on reading this one were, Blah, blah, non-story ...

sals3,
You're taking Federer's comments out of context. He was asked a question, he answered it. If you're so quick to jump on Federer for pointing out advantages vs disadvantages, then why don't you also jump on Nadal for expressing the same sentiment? Oh yeah, because when you don't like someone you'll do whatever mental gymnastics are necessary to maintain it.

I doubt that Rafa gets the favorable scheduling that Fed gets. At USO, Fed always gets to play first no matter whether he is the defending champion or not. In 2011, Fed got to play matches with at least one day's rest in between but Rafa played 4th round, QF and SF back to back. Fed is really shameless. But I am sure he sees nothing wrong with all the favorable treatment he demands and gets. He thinks he is the GOAT.
He gets to play more often on Center court at Wimbledon than the defending champion and no. 1 seed. Fed is a fake goat bolstered by the grovelling ATP.

^^^ No choice for Wimby organisers. They have got to put the man on the center court whom the audience not just love but worship. Bear the Truth!
