Like rabbit said elsewhere, first his health and now his money:
The Royal Bank of Scotland will halve its funding of British sport as a result of the global economic downturn.
BBC Sport has learned the bank will end its sponsorship of the Williams Formula One team at the end of 2010.
It will also review its deals with individuals such as tennis star Andy Murray and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
RBS, expected to announce a loss of up to £28bn on Thursday, is reviewing all sponsorship activity as part of its strategic review.
The bank, in which the government has a stake of almost 70%, has also cancelled trackside advertising for 2010, while hospitality costs in all its sponsorships have been reduced by around 90% in 2009.

at this point in his career...he is more or less secure to move on, on his own career's momentum where putting his money into some kind of careful investments or savings to hold him up is concerned.
so it's not really him that is going to be hurt..it's those that are also promising and might need help that will suffer more...and consequently, perhaps, tennis.
in the meantime -- it's going to be between two Frenchies in Dubai -- since murray pulled out due to a virus , it seems.

All those ATP players - Ancic, Federer, Murray - need to stop kissing each other so much.
LOL!
What goes on in the locker room, stays in the locker room? Uh oh.
how dare they? ...doing all those things and keeping them LOCKED from fans?...don't they know fans are the lifeblood of their sport? why do they do these things behind locked doors? aren't they PAID ENOUGH ..they're thinking they'll only show it with double-priced tickets too?!!
how dare they?
This is obviously a ploy to explain his failure in Australia against Verdasco.
Next on Roger's hit list is to give Rafa herpes.
Y'all ain't right.
