Big thanks to GTT reader, Judy, for passing along this interesting story.
Website swissinfo.ch is reporting that Swiss Tennis officials questions of Roger Federer after team Suisse-TKO ' ed by team Kazakhstan last weekend in the Davis Cup. Switzerland, in spite of the fact that two top tennis players living within its borders for reasons other than tax benefits, relegated to the gloomy zonal Group next season.
Yes, this sounds all controversial and exciting – but please bear in mind that these people are Swiss.Via swissinfo.ch:
"We need an answer [from Federer]-is he going to as part of the team, or not?"René Stammbach, President of the Swiss Tennis since 2006, said swissinfo.ch.An answer will be respected and accepted, but we want a reply. "
We want answers Federer! It really doesn't matter what you say, but we would like to now ... r earliest.
Stammbach has ordered team captain Severin Lüthi to talk Federer and find out where it stands.
"At the end of the day that it always will be ruling – we do not have a contract with him.We are dependent on good will only. If he wants to make the colors of to defend the country, that's up to him, "he said."It's not that we absolutely want to force him to say "Yes".We cannot expect of him. But that we want to know what the goal is in his head-it is still to the semi-finals and final of the world or even win? "
Read this before you absolutely love Stammbach for 100% cancellation of Federer, albeit in a roundabout, neutral-ish, the insight of way:
"Please bear in mind what he has done for tennis in General and tennis in Switzerland in particular, how can you be angry with a guy like that? no one else has done so much for tennis."

According to Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger, the same Stammbach believes that Federer is displayed in a hip job of red and white suit at any given time in the near future. with the exception of this year, Roger showed up for the Davis Cup at least once a season since 1999. He will also be faced with more supervision, as the dictates of the ITF regulations that he at least one more time in front of the games in 2012 in London – but if everyone would benefit from an Olympic loophole, it would be Roger.
I know what most of my colleagues Roger fans thinking about the problem of the Davis Cup, but count me in this case, under Davis Cup team nags. Roger, with the support of Stanislas Wawrinka, the chance of something that has not been done in the 110 years of history of the Cup-home range to Switzerland., and for the GOATY about it, Rafa has now slam career
I understand fully what Stammbach says: "we need an answer [from Federer] ...we would like to know what the goal is in his head. "
Because we all know what happens if Roger his Davis Cup Cap.
