The thread to discuss all things USO...pre USO!



First of all who is going to play?

We know Djokovic, Sta m defending champion and Nishikori are out for the rest of the season.

But what about Murray?

Is he going to skip it? Would be most logical.

No guarantees even that Federer will take part...but let's assume he is, ''cos I've just read this:

Apologies, couldn't find it in English, but in short, Federer comments on two novelties that will be introduced this USO:

1) shot clock of 25 seconds and 
2) players will be able to communicate with coaches from the stands.

In the article he is sarcastic to the bone...suggesting that soin we'll have coaches walking on the court with their player, holding their hand, tossing thr ball for them, etc.
