Fed adds Gstaad to schedule

Such a great interview from Fed, thanks Truffin.
He is always so honest in interviews, such an admirable and rare trait these days!
Always says something interesting and you can glean a lot from it. So good to have him around, and I hope it stays like that for a long time.

A few points to comment on, but I liked this one most:

Mr. Federer, first of all: How did you got over the early Wimbledon loss?

Roger Federer: After I was since 9 years all the time always at least in the QF of Grand Slams it was of course strange to pack the suitcase. Within 24 hours I had an idea though: That I would like to play Hamburg, that I could play in Gstaad, that I could do a bit of holidays now so that I don't have to do it that often later on.
You can't be sad or disappointed too long. I had a great run at the Grand Slams and it was about to happen one day. Of course I hoped that it wouldn't happen in Wimbledon.

So telling of how he thinks and what a great heart he has. Quite something.
It answers the doubters and fair-weather fans how much he believes in his game and playing ability at moment.
Very mature and clearly comfortable in his skin, with nothing to prove, which is such a great place to be.
He knows too well how good he is, and that confidence cannot be shaken even by that early Wimbledon loss.

He sums it up all nicely and leaves us all in a happy dream:
" There's still much to achieve!"

Yes, the draw looks pretty tough and promises a week of excellent tennis (yipeee!!!)

?? What?? The confidence has been shaken and that is why he is playing meaningless tune-ups he has not played at in 50 years! The question is whether he can get the confidence back and that can only be done by winning matches and tournaments.
