Hello everyone.

I thought it was the right time to disclose what happened at the last Player Council meeting as it contained secrets . There has been a lot of the speculations about this meeting as attending was compulsive, you had no choices but to come. It was held behind big doors. But I thought it was time to make the openness to My fans. Here are the moments of this meeting.

Notable Attendees:
Me.
All the staff at WTAToday.com who came to stare at Gilles Simon.
Neil Harman, Top Journo of the Times in London. (@NeilHarmanTimes)
Judy Murray, Captain “Fed” Cup. (@judmoo)

All the official umpires, they sat around the edges of the room on chairs that were higher than everybody else’s, except Mine.

Brad Gilbert (@bgtennisnation) also came. I allowed this as I like Mr. Bradlings. Chris Fowler came to commentate on the meeting but I said no. Djokovic came dressed as Sharapova and she came dressed as him to try and trick Me. But I knew the trick because they came as each other. As the saying goes: “You can fool some of the GOATs some of the time, you can fool all of the GOATs some of the time. But you can always fool the GOAT all of the time.”

Andy Murray sat right at the front wearing his Gold Medal and he had a very big grin on his face like a Cheshire Cat. For My fans outside of the UK, Cheshire is a county in England where their cats are always very happy.

Mr. Bradlings started the meeting by standing up and announcing that the last Australian player to win the Australian Open was Mark Edmundson in 1976. I looked at him and said, “thank you”.

Tommy Haas said if anyone has an injury during the U.S. Open they are to check with him first before calling a trainer.

I looked at him and then looked at Andy Murray who rolled his eyes (both of them).

David Nalbandian asked if the lines judges would have flimsy wooden panels like at Queens in London. Nobody knew although Serena Williams said she would check for him providing he cared to shut his d**m mouth. This moment got a little heated and I nearly called My staff but Mr. Bradlings made the interceptions and told us all that in the last two decades, Marat Safin made the most Aces (31) without a Double Fault in 2004.

Andy Murray asked how I did in the Olympics with the same grin and I gestured to staff who held up a flag that read, “Shut Up”.

The meeting then held a small break where My staff served Me some little snacks of Italian chargrilled artichokes, flame scorched red and yellow peppers in Olive Oil and bread sticks. To drink I had just a little Pinot Grigio (chilled). For dessert I had some Lindt. Everybody watched, which was nice. For everybody else Sharapova was handing out the Sugarpova candy sweets. Though at this point I was so confused I wasn’t sure if it was her or Djokovic.

I made the nod with My head when I was ready to continue the meeting.

Mr. Bradlings informed us all that the last player to win the U.S. Open whilst saving match points was Fred Perry against Don Budge in 1936.

I thanked him but asked if he’d be quiet now about statistics. He said he was paid by the word. I said I was paid by the amount of times TV commentators mention My name whilst commentating on other matches.

John McEnroe said he wanted to arrest Me as he didn’t understand Twitter. At this point I allowed Chris Fowler into the meeting to try and explain Twitter to him and yet again he convinced John not to have Me arrested. This was the second time this has happened this year.

At this point Judy Murray passed Me a little notes whilst making the winks with one of her eyes (left). It read: “I know I always talk about Deliciano Lopez but you know you’re My favorite Fedelicious xx” – I quickly scribbled: “Yes” and passed it back to her. I don’t think anybody saw. This was fun and a little like High School. Except I went to school with Stanford Wawrinka and somehow it wasn’t quite the same.

Janko Tipsarevic stood up and read out one of his philosophy essays about perceptual reality. I’m not sure anybody knew what he was talking about, and I don’t think he did either.

The meeting ended with Mr. Harmans asking us all to stand up whilst he sang, “God Save the Queen.” Andy Murray stood on a podium and sang the loudest.

For those outside of the America, ESPN get expert people to make the predictions on the tennis before the tournaments. I am formerly letting everybody know that the “picks” that were made today were incorrect.

On behalf of ESPN I apologise for their administrative error. They have assured Me that the appropriate staff have been fired.

The real picks are below with a new panel of experts:

I welcome the new and more sensible experts to the tennis game and look forward to meeting them soon.

You’re welcome,

Dear Mr. Flushings,

I write in relation to the draw of the big American tennis tournament in New York New York.

The GOAT is very upset. Everybody on the circuits knows the rules. I am back at being the number 1 seedling. Djokovic is the number 2 so this places him on the other sides of My drawers. And Murray? Look I know you only have access to NBC who are probably still showing the Olympic Opening Ceremony, but I would have thought you would have staff advise you of what happened in the tennis final. (I chose to lose by the way).

This is not the correct protocol and somehow putting the tall one with too many names, Won Martin of the Potros on the other side does not do the makings up. I will be Frank and state this is just not acceptable. OK now I am Roger again. Nadal has the little problems with his knees. Well guess what? I have the little problem with My anger. It is fortunate My name is not Roger Nalbandian otherwise I would get a Gold Medal for the violent martial art of Shih-Tzu.

I formally give notice that because of your actions I am now very seriously considering not coming back in 12 years time and more seriously I instructed staff to remove you from My Christmas card list of people who are allowed to send Me a card, so don’t don’t even try sending one as it will be sent back. As the great Elvis Presley used to sing, “Return to Mr. Flushings, GOAT unknown”.

I am going to jump on the Charlie Davidson now and make the cruises around the city to do the coolings off. I’m not even going to take all My staff with Me.

Shut Up,
PF

Hello,

In between the Cincinnati and going to the Big Apples I have decided to take a road trip across all the countries in the U.S.A. and it has been so exciting. I know you would like to know the highlights.

Obviously I wanted to do it with the big styles so I had a custom made motorbicycle. Of course, it can only be the most famous one of them all, the Charlie Davidson. Why did I have a custom made Charlie? Because on the back I have Mirky, the Kids, Paul Anaconda and staff. Honestly it is amazing. I feel like Erik Estrada making the cruises across the Highways.The only difference is that instead of a “CHiPs” helmet I wanted the big hat that the Cowboys wear. I went into such a store, asked for a 10 Litre hat and after a moment of silence the shopkeeper suggested I had a hat with a propeller on the top. It wasn’t really what I was looking for but once you get up to speed on the Charlie Davidson it’s a lot of fun and I notice everybody looking at me doing the pointing.

Some of My staff wanted to go towards the California but I said no. I will make the honesty and admit that I was afraid of bumping into Jay Lego. The pitch of his voice and his little laugh makes me feel uncomfortable.

Roswell in a Newish Mexico was another highlight. This location is famous for the crashes of the Aliens a long time ago (I think when John McEnroe used to play tennis) and is home of the conspiracies. I’m not sure why everybody says you can never see anything. I went out one night and all the Aliens flocked down as they were excited to see Me and make the congratulations. They are small people which pleased Me as you all know how I feel about people taller than Me.

The most exciting stop was when we came across a great location, which I decided to buy. I hereby announce the public opening of My North American Headquarters which you will find on the East Coast.

You will be pleased to visit and pay homage to Me, buy gifts and also buy the flags that everybody waves in the stadiums, “Shhh, Genius At Work”. I am also announcing the new line, “Shut Up, Genius At Work”. I will use the premises to keep staff for when I need them on My travels to this continent.

Lastly on My way to New York New York I thought I’d go to the White House to see My good friend Mr. Clinton. Strange. Apparently they said he doesn’t live there any more. I thought the man that said this was making the jokes as I was still wearing My propeller hat so I made the dubious faces. I mean, why would you move out of such a big house like that?

Anyway, time to do the checking-in in My usual hotel.

Hello fans from the Cincinnati!

I encourage anybody that has not been here before to visit this beautiful place. For My British fans, there is also a Hyde Park here so you will not feel sick from the home. Cincinnati is like the sandwich fillings in between KFC and Ohio.

We have reached the final! Today I will play Djokovic. I may win today later, or not. I haven’t decided yet. I will let you know after the match.

The main reason for this bloggings before I go on court is to open the large antique wooden doors for the many people who want to join My happy team of staff. Followers of My tweetings will know that I regularly fire staff, this year especially. The team that look after Me is looking like it has been on the big diet so we need to make the fattings up. Would you? Can you? … make the landings of the dream job? I am looking for:

- Finishing Executive: This person makes the final touches before I make the appearances. The successful candidate will be a person with style and knows about fashion and white Wimbledon clothes.

- GOAT Bag Organizer: I have many of the different things in My on court bag that need to be there and in pristine quality. A portable music player, sun protection creams, personal hygiene tools for the Finishing Exectutive, FedBerry for courtside tweetings, t-shirts, socks, undergarments (Borg), racquets, olives (Greek) and ice cream.

- Pillow Plumper: My rest and the relaxations is very important as anybody can probably make the imaginations. And the pillow is a big part of this. This person must have proven experience in pillow case technology. I like my pillows to look like the marshmallows but I don’t want to eat them. Must also illustrate the skill in leaving the little chocolate in the centre of the pillow each night (chocolates will be provided #Lindt).

- FedBerry Charger: There is no need to worry, you do not need to look like a electrical piece of equipment with wiry limbs. I make the jokes! No this is a very responsible position of ensuring My FedBerry is always ready, charged up with the spare battery. This person must be the most trusted one as they will have access to My personal and business phones. No tweeting to be done on My behalf.

- Window Cleaner: This person will be located in My home in Switzerland. Must be able to clean two thousand, nine hundred and sixty one panes of glass.

There are some other positions but these are the most pressings. If you have the references and think you are up to the challenge get excited! Any applicant with knowledge of Serbian, Scottish and Spanish need not apply. No applicants must be taller than Me.

Please reply to My staff that deal with such things. *

Hugs,
PF xxx

* position yet to be filled.

My letter to Rafa

Following much thought I decided to write to Rafa in the end. I thought it would be right to share My letter to him with you all.

Dear Mr. Rafael,

How are you? I am fine.

A lot has changed since I last saw you on the tennis courts. I had My birthday which was nice, I went on two holidays, I achieved Olympic finalist status, I had My hair cut (just a little trimmings), I discovered the BBC employ John McEnroe as an expert not only for tennis, but also swimming, running, diving, javelin, shot-put, high jump, long jump, triple jump, cycling, volleyball, handball, table tennis (a very small version of big tennis), weightlifting, fencing, disco dancing, singing… and more.

I understand you are having problems with the knees. I am sorry to hear this. During Wimbledon I had the little back problems but this went away. Do your doctors know why this is happening? Thank you for pulling out of so many tournaments. As they say, “It is better to be safe than make the apologies”. If you want My advice I am suggesting you relax a bit more. You work so hard. It’s OK. The Little Guys don’t listen to Me much but maybe you have the influences? I mean, make the little word with Murray and Djokovic and ask them to take some time off too? There is more to life than always beating Me tennis. Enjoy yourselves. This way when you come back in 2019 you will feel much more fresh.

No other news. Mirky says ‘Hola’ and wanted to send you a care package but I told her I am already sending something from Me. She shouted something in Spanish and made the slammings with the door.

I am enclosing several suitcases of Lindt chocolate. I promise this will not affect your recoveries. Please eat as much as you can. Don’t worry about the U.S. Open, nor the Australian and actually give Roland Garros a miss too.

Miss you.
Hasta luego!

Good evening,

So is this a new thing fans? Do all Grand Slams have to be played twice now every time I win? Am I going to be made to enter in the U.S. Open twice? But it’s OK. I like to stay positive.

I am so happy to confirm that I am the only player in H1STORY to win a PLATINUM medal. Congratulations to Andy for getting a yellow one. He will have more chances in the future. As I confirmed to Sue Barker after the match, I had a really tough draw so it’s been a difficult week yet I was still able to pull through.

You will allow Me to detail the detailed problems I had to overcome in detail.

Everybody knows My feelings about tall players. So what did they do? In the final of the semis they forced Me to play the man with too many names. These types of players should not be allowed in the tennis. How many times do I have to highlight this issue to the officials? If this happens again I am not coming back next year.

The other serious issue is that of My doubles partner, Stanford. I read reports in the papers that carry the news that he was making the parties until 2 o’clock in the morning the night before our doubles match. Is this how he repays Me for allowing him to carry the flag? It seems the answer is yes. I am taking this opportunity to declare I am officially looking for a new doubles mate. All applications will be evaluated by My staff and Me.

Before I commence My celebrations for My achievements this evening I sadly have to make the snitchings. It has been brought to My attention that the Bryan Brothers are the same person. I don’t believe this is allowed in Olympic events. Why do they look the same? I have twins and they don’t look the same. If you look closely with binoculars you’ll see there is no difference. I mean, has anybody ever seen them on court at the same time? This is like Me going for a comfort break and then Me coming out again pretending to be another one. Incorrect. Olympic officials please make the investigations and if they are stripped of their Gold medals  and it happens to go spare please contact Me immediately.

Hello fans,

Today we made H1STORY with the longest match ever in the Olympics! It was another record I had not held so this morning I decided to, “Just Do It” #sponsors

I want to make the dedications of this bloggings to Mr Bradlings (@bgtennisnation). For those that don’t know him, he is the equivalent in tennis in the same way Mr. Harmans (@NeilHarmanTimes) is to journos.

You see being a GOAT I know the rules of the tennis game very well and you have to make all the advantages you can. Mr. Bradlings has written a book called, “Win even if not pretty”. For those not familiar with the metaphoricals, this means you can still win even when you are having a bad hair days.

What am I making the referrals to? The rule books say you cannot receive courtside help. So I asked Mr. Bradlings for some special advice to dig Myself out of another Spanish (speaking) hole. I have a habit of getting Myself into these. However! This was completely legal because I used My FedBerry under the towelings. I received a swift reply with a very unusual tip to drink some cold beer. No other coach has ever said this to Me.

This is where I went in the comfort break during the match. I enjoyed a small beverage, some olives and a little bruschetta. I felt so refreshed on coming back, I won!!! I must say this really should be the job of My current coach, Paul Aanaconda so I am thinking of making the replacements.

Given this, for the final I am going to the Pub to really embrace this new approach and drink Myself under the tables.

Once again, thank you Mr. Bradlings, the pleasure was all yours.

Hello Dear ones,

It has been difficult to keep up with the bloggings as My time has been full to the top. But I am here now.

The race for the Olympic Gold Medallion is going great. Although today somebody made Me play a tall one. I already have a ridiculously difficult draw so I think is making the insults. Let’s not make the problems though, it went OK. An exciting match full of great rallies!

I prefer not to speak about my doubles with Stanford. As Mr. Captain Mannering used to say in the British show, ‘Father’s Army’ – “Stupid Boy”. Although if I am making the honesty I will say that I already have this gold medallion. I am looking for the one you get for playing by yourself (not with a friend). I will wear it proudly and fashionably with the open shirts.

I have spent so long here in the UK I feel that I am a local one. I am trying to learn more than usual about the culture and I thought I would share the findings.

UK stands for United Kingdom. In the north there is a country called the Scotland. This is owned by Andrew Murray. It seems very fashionable to wear what is called a “Kilt”. I like this very much as it allows more freedom of the movements. The front part is called a Sporran and this will be a useful place to keep the FedBerry although I will have to choose the message alert settings carefully. I have already been in contact with a top UK fashion house to have one made in white for Wimbledon next year. I hope not to fall over during a match and make the revealings.

To the west there is a country called Wales. Again they are the lovely people and they can all sing. I can understand the Scottish accent, but the Welsh is so strong it seems like another language.

There is also Northern Ireland but I cannot study this yet as the sea is in the way. I will use the computer to find out more.

Yesterday (the Wednesday) I mixed with the crowds in Wimbledon in My usual disguises. It was fun times seeing how the people on the other halves live. Most people didn’t recognise Me. Someone did. I know you were pleased to see Me and it was your pleasure to spend some time with Me. You’re welcome.
