During the Davis Cup final a few weeks back they showed the draw for the opening round play in 2010. As we all know things looked delicious with Spain hosting Swizerland - guaranteed Roger vs Rafa, yum yum good.

Immediately my best tennis pal instant messaged me. Kinda went as follows:
Friend: Wow, I would mind going to that Spain/Swiss tie.
Me: Why? Roger ain't gonna show.
Friend: Why not?
Me: Let's see... In Spain. On clay. Won't want to face Rafa.
Friend: Hope you're wrong.
I'm not. According to tennis.com: The world No. 1 is said to be reluctant to play on European clay just before the start of U.S. hardcourt events in Indian Wells and Miami.
Poppycock.
