1. At least as of now Roger is still planning to play next year -

exhibition match right before Aussie Open (tickets on sale now)

From Facebook -

Roger Federer shared a link
November 12
I will play Jo-Wilfried Tsonga just before the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne on Wednesday 8 January 2014. The proceeds from the event will go to the Roger Federer Foundation and the Australian Tennis Foundation. Special guests include Australian tennis legend Rod Laver. Tickets go on sale midday November 14 - don't miss out on this unique night of tennis!

2. Wish I were in Melbourne!

I think if Roger gets a good draw for the Aussie he could get to the final...Djoker still is the favorite, though.

3. I know - I will be thrilled if he actually keeps going.

Even though he has the exhibition scheduled he doesn't have a schedule up for 2014.

1998-2013 was 15 years of pro tennis, I really thought he'd end it there. And I wouldn't blame him a bit even though I'd miss him.

Maybe he wants one more year to try to go out on a better note. Far fewer points to defend this year - maybe he wants one more shot at Wimbledon.

Love this kid - he was so fun and driven:

4. How old is that photo?

I found his match against Sampras at Wimbldeon from I think 2001...the long hair back then!

[TBF]

5. I believe it is from 1998 -

there are also some great shots from when he had short bleached hair. Very european ...
