Is Roger Federer saying Goodbye or Hello?

What a truly nice weekend - some running in the park before breakfast, MoMa to get the brain some food too, awesome dinner with hubby and friends and a relaxed brunch on Sunday at home in PJs and with The New York Times Magazine on my lap.

On page five a full page ad from my favorite champagne brand Moët & Chandon (shot by Patrick Demarchelier) showing Roger Federer in a tux and holding a Salmanazar (9 liter) or maybe a Balthazar (12 liter) bottle in one arm waving his hand?!? To say hello, good by…?!?

And the slogan 'To making an entrance' didn't help me understand. Into what? Retirement? Or a party? OK, a party would work - the best parties I attended always started with a nice very cold glass of champagne. There is also this slightly visible tennis net behind him. For me one more hint that he is saying good by to the court!? What ever the current #6 in the tennis world will do with his future in addition to being the house's brand ambassador (announced in November 2012) I hope that he will play a bit more tennis and after he retires I only would have one small request - Roger, choose your engagements wisely and don't follow the road some of your colleagues went. It might be possible that wrong decisions will even make you loose partners (Mercedes Benz and Boris Becker).
So please stay who you are.
