"The youngster’s shot was remarkable enough for anyone to play against Federer. But it took on extra significance given the boy’s backstory.
Marc Krajekian was diagnosed with cancer at the age of eight and, as the life-threatening disease threatened to spread, had his leg amputated. But Mark (now 10 years old) has beaten the illness and has adjusted remarkably quickly to life with a prosthetic limb, quickly getting back out on the court to continue his tennis obsession.
Roger Federer had sent the youngster a get well card to Mark in hospital, and on Tuesday that promise came true.
What a special moment!"

Re: RF Tennis News 2018
Ljubicic confirmed that Roger was in Africa earlier in the week and also stated that no decision has been made about Stuttgart yet! As I suspected, seeing that no one else reported on it, the recent Swiss Indoors press release, stating that Roger would start his grass season in Stuttgart, may have been premature (see RF Schedule thread).
Ivan Ljubicic explains why Roger Federer will skip French Open

by LUIGI GATTO - TennisWorld
Ivan Ljubicic was at the Monte Carlo Masters and spent some minutes at the Sky Sport Studio during the commentary match between Dominic Thiem and Andrey Rublev. Ljubicic explained that Roger Federer is currently in South Africa for his Foundation, and next week they will start practicing again.
He also commented on the decision to skip the clay-court season: 'This year it was easier since that in 2017 it worked. Last year Roland Garros was in dispute until the last minute, Roger had also ordered balls to practice and he was sad to skip it.
This year we took a definite decision and we didn't even order balls. Roger played so much and he needs to take a break. He is not a 18-year-old anymore', the world No. 2's coach said.
The next step is the grass-court season: 'He will be back in Halle, for Stuttgart we have not decided yet', Ljubicic revealed. 'In Miami he was tired, but who knows what would have happened beating (Thanasi) Kokkinakis: he may have recovered after the day off.

Just some light reading in these Rogerless days.
THANKS, MOM—AND ROGER: AN EDITOR'S UNLIKELY ENCOUNTER WITH FEDERER
by: ED MCGROGAN | May 13, 2018
"Roger” is how my mother referred to him, like a neighbor, or a co-worker she met for coffee every day at the hospital cafeteria. This Roger, though, was less than half my mother’s age, didn’t have to work another day in his life and was drinking coffee made from the finest beans—brewed in a sleek machine he was being paid to endorse.
Nevertheless, as I headed out for two weeks of writing, working and watching tennis at the U.S. Open, my mother left me with these words: “You’ve got to ask Roger for a picture!”....................
