Federers weakness might have been an illness - (New York Times)
March 8, 2008 – 4:59 pmTennis star Roger Federer, who is 26, has not, according to this story, been practicing full disclosure.
Last month, after falling ill for the third time in six weeks, he had extensive tests in his native Switzerland and in Dubai, where he lives part time. According to Federer, the conclusion was that he had contracted mononucleosis.
Federer had already said he experienced food poisoning before the Australian Open, which he said disrupted his preparation for that tournament, eventually won by Djokovic. But Federer, who complained of feeling sluggish during the Open, said it appeared that the mononucleosis was the more serious issue.
