首先贴一下辛辛那提费德勒经纪人托尼与现场奶粉团的交流
We (I Alison Deb) ran into Tony Godsick a few hrs before Roger's practice. He recognizes the red brigade and always greets us, but this time he outdid himself! I thought the chat would end at "hi guys how are you doing, ready for the match?" but... the chat ended up lasting a few mins and covering all sorts of topics, around Roger, his commitments, the racquet, the tournament, the fans... And it was Tony who seemed eager to prolong it!
He started by telling us (unprompted) that Roger is getting back to the old racquet for Cincy+USO. That the black one was a prototype that he tested and gave Wilson his feedback about so they can work on it more.
He mentioned Roger's 2014 start in Brisbane and said among other things that it was better for him to start there and not have to worry about the chilly nights in Doha!!
He shared our view that Roger hasn't just done so much for the game but he is doing TOO much, with all that administrative/ATP stuff he got involved in. He said that he is telling Roger to just leave it so he can just focus on himself and his tennis. We more than agreed. Let someone else do it already we said, and Tony said that no one would step up. So they expect Roger to do everything for them, and then they complain about him!
He said that Roger loves his fans... awww... and that the ATP fan favorite award is the one he is the most proud of and said "we should make sure he wins it again" to which I joked "well, we vote from every single computer and mobile device we own"
He asked us about how we like Cincy, and both he and we went on and on signing this event's praises. He asked us the ticket price and I told him that for the entire terrace series I paid about the price of a USO courtside ticket
He even asked us where we are from!
I don't remember much more but I'm sure I'm forgetting tons!
We were all stunned after this chat - we knew Roger's people were friendly but not THAT friendly!

提一下主要内容：
1，牛美网会用90旧拍，美网后再继续试验新拍子
2，2014新赛季从布里斯班开始，那里气候不像多哈那样阴冷，对牛的背伤有好处
3，牛被ATP球员工会等琐事耗去了太多精力以至于无法只专注于比赛（还记得去年上海连续三天那3+7+2小时的会么），经纪人建议牛退出但现在没有人愿意接替，他们期待牛为他们做所有的事然后再抱怨他。（豆德雷都知道是苦差，吃力不讨好的）
4， 牛非常爱他的球迷，每年获得最受欢迎球员奖是牛最自豪的事情之一，所以今年大家也要继续给力，争取十一连庄。

想说牛现阶段确实困难很多，年龄增大伤病恢复慢，既要照顾家庭孩子还要为球员工会的事情操心，连续的夜场比赛导致无法吃早餐背伤还时不时的发作。。。。。。但这一切的困难只能靠牛自己克服，我们能做的只有一如既往的支持他，今年请大家看淡成绩，放低期望，陪牛度过这道难关。
既然这是牛最引以为豪的，那今年请大家继续给力

牛保持健康，继续加油~

连庄不是问题，有我们在呢！蠢牛尽管加油！

顶！

牛牛加油！

加油加油！

豆不是副主席吗，怎么不多干点

。。

看我牛的比赛早就不是看结果了，只要他还在，我就支持他

球员工会这事儿不知道以后能给谁，没看出来谁想接。。
单是争取奖金提升这一件，牛就当代表和四大满贯谈判很久，到最后被赛事抱怨，还要被一些喊口号不干事的球员喷。
上海的连轴会听说了。今年温网宣布提奖金的时候，每日邮报用的标题就是“Swiss maestro plays key role in Wimbledon's 40 per cent prize money increase”。美网提奖金应该也是出了大力的（外站看过的小道消息：ATP Players Council President Roger Federer was heavily involved in the discussions. Daily Tennis has learned that Federer called USTA President Dave Haggerty directly over the matter. At the Miami tournament on Tuesday, Smith and US Open tournament director David Brewer made a formal presentation to the ATP Players Council. Federer called into that meeting from Switzerland. ... A source also said that the WTA asked its players to personally thank Federer for leading the charge. ）
多数时候两头挨骂，吃力不讨好，辛苦牛了。

这是2012-2014球员工会名单

今年温网淘汰牛的司机也在名单里，记得去年澳网他还和豆子一起抱怨过牛的不作为，后来进工会参与工作后到现在也没见他出来说话
