Roger is always conscious about his season scheduling to try to avoid to overplay and suffer from nasty injuries. (especially at his “respectable tennis age”)
The Swiss Maestro knows that his chances to finish the seson as world no.1 are really slim, so he is reconsidering his schedules.
About being world no.1
“I do not know what are the chances that I have to finish the year as number one, is a big mountain to climb, it is no longer only in my hands. Firstly I want to finish the year off with tournaments in Basel, Paris and London. Later we will see how it goes.
If you do not manage to finish the year as number one, at least I hope I can win some tournaments. I was surprised at the speed with which I have taken the top spot. I won Wimbledon, the Olympic medal, I would say that I have achieved what I set for myself. I’m glad to feel good. “


About his 2012 schedules.
“I played a lot of games. To do this I had to plan my life alright. I also tried to do a little preparation ahead of the 2013.
I’m glad I managed to best this season. Madrid From the land of blue to red in Amsterdam, has flown by so quickly, like an express train. I can’t do this every year. I have to say that it is difficult to manage workouts and tournaments together, but need to find a balance.”
What happened in Shanghai
If you train a little and then get in the game might not play your best. It’s what I did in Shanghai. I tried some tactical solutions during workouts. Once in camp I decided to risk some extra ball to see if worked and I’ve gotten only losing in the semifinals. Of course I knew that attempts could go wrong. I did not play my best tennis but now there’s a new tournament, a point of departure. “


Not playing in Bercy?
“I hope to be able to play three tournaments in three weeks. Certainly after Basel will play London then I will think about what to do regarding Bercy. I have to evaluate my form. “
Roger had lots of “fun” last year in Bercy, we hope he can make it!
