He'll need a lot of hope!

Koepfer is the black widow of the men's draw

What are peoples thoughts on this? Is it ok to pull out of a tournament to save yourself for an upcoming one? If he does pull out, should Koepfer be allowed to take his spot in the draw?

No. Koepfer lost. That is easy.
Federer has never retired from a match due to injury. I don't think he will retire due to "saving his knees". He might not play and invoke some minor injury, but will not be that blatant.

Just like Roger!

Wawrinka had a second surgery on his foot today

Moya sur Nadal : "La tournée sur terre battue a été très difficile. Rafa a terminé épuisé. Il y a deux ans, il avait atteint un point de grande fatigue mentale dont il avait été très difficile de sortir et il a interprété qu'il en était à nouveau proche."

Moya on Nadal: "The tour on clay was very difficult. Rafa finished exhausted. Two years ago he had reached a point of great mental fatigue from which it had been very difficult to get out and he interpreted that he was close to it again. "

Anything with the word detachment is just plain bad. Hope he gets well soon.

5 weeks in a wrist splint and then rehabilitation? Sounds more like a few months than weeks.

It's been obvious that he's been injured for awhile now - hope he gets better soon.

This isn't a long term injury. His wrist popped in his match the other day.
