This and Memphis, baffles me why the fields are so weak.

Did I hear correctly that Federer took a WC?

Roger's not taking #5 sitting down. Good.

I'm stunned that he's playing, though.
However, I think this is the right move. I have thought all year that the reduced schedule idea was a bad one. Yes, he is getting old but he needs to play to stay in form. His game has not looked very sharp all year.
He can still salvage the season a bit if he plays well through the end of the year. I don't see a US Open title coming, though.

Paire with a frustrating loss to Monaco.
I will say this - when he plays well, he's amazing. He litters the court with winners. Seems like he needs a bit more mental toughness, though. He got frustrated with getting broken back in the first set and let it bother him for the remainder of the set (which went quickly).

Paire is a big moper when things go badly. It is frustrating, but he is French.

Paire is like Bellucci and Dolgopolov, a ton of talent and always fun to watch but too cray-cray to ever maximise it. I have no expectations for their careers but I'll tune in to watch them when I can, even when they lose it's entertainingly stupid.

Players peak at a later age now and Fed seemed like one of those talented-but-erratic players at one time too.

Like Dimitrov, Paire hasn't achieved half the things Fed did when he was underachieving. And Fed never seemed batshit insane like Benoit does.

Paire has no time for that. He's nearly 25.

I'm enjoying rampant Fognini.

Verdasco has a meltdown and loses to an Argentine qualifier who then BEATS FEDERER IN STRAIGHT SETS IN THE SEMIS.
WTF.

But Boner should have won, he had a match point in the second-set TB, served-and-volleyed. The volley was super-easy, and he bricked it into the net. He had 2 more MPs to no avail.

Delboner has a darn good game, though. Wasn't he a heralded youngster or something.
Yay Fabio. He's handsome.

Quickly this is turning into an annus horibilis for Fed, isn't it? Now he's losing to randoms. He never did that.
