My opinion is Federer has only one thing on his mind and that is to win the French Open. He is using all the warm up clay tournaments to gain knowledge about the competition and wait for the French Open to use it. He is a very smart player and his approach is to win not only physically but mentally. He will send his girl friend on vacation and concentrate on winning again, especially, especially, and especially at Roland Garros, a title that is required to be a true great in Tennis, that has yet to won. It would make him over-shine Sampras and Aggasi, and become the super champion of this generation. It Is now or never as Dokovic and Nadal are maturing and will not let anyone dominate them in the coming future. It is too hard to maintain top form and have a life, which I am sure Roger wants to enjoy his life now, as much as anyone. He really wants to be in cruise control except during his French title efforts, where he needs every aspect of his game at his command.
This is written as an analysis that I hope he is taking so that he will become what his fans want him to be, as well as the dream he has for himself. With the rackets of today it is easier to dominate the sport if you learn their secrets and I suspect he has and will put out an extra effort in Paris for himself and all of his fans.
