Roger, we from /r/tennis welcome you. Your achievements in tennis will probably not fall for a very long time. Anyway, time for some questions!

Your rivalry against Rafa Nadal is probably the most signifcant on the tour, maybe of all time. How does it affect you knowing that you are a part of this?

What was going through your mind when you stopped Novak's win streak at Roland Garros in 2011, and actually what do you think of Novak's 2011?

2012 saw you lift the Wimbledon trophy, at the expense of Andy Murray. Did he mention anything at the net or before you guys were supposed to do your speeches about the possibility of tears like he did in Australia?

What makes Nadal so difficult on clay? I watch tennis and feel like on clay Nadal is the bully and you are powerless. Any insight you can give to us as fans as to his clay brutality?

You and Rafa filmed a commercial advertising charity matches. In this clip, you could not hold your laughter at all. The same thing happened when Pedro Pinto interviewed you for CNN International. Is spanish your Achilles Heel?

Who's your pick for the French this year? Is it Rafa, or are you thinking Djokovic will lift the trophy and complete the career slam?

Finally, how are the kids?

Thanks so much for doing this Roger. It would be awesome if you could answer!

Hey Doug! Going to see you in St. Louis this October, and I can't tell you how excited I am. Soon It Will Be Cold Enough is my absolute favorite album to listen to in the winter time. I've only got one question for you sadly. Have you ever thought about working with Bonobo on a track or something like a split EP? I love both of your work, and you've referenced Simon as an influence a few times. Everyone over at /r/triphop would be beyond overjoyed!

I discovered your music in the middle of my high school life, and up at that point it was refreshing. I was gutted to learn that you guys were going to go on hiatus, so when you were dropping your last 3 EP's, I made sure to grab them. Your (e)vening EP is so awesome, but there is obviously one standout track. To my knowledge, I could be wrong here, it was Jacob that did the writing and arrangement for that piece.

So what's the story behind it? It's a wonderful piano piece done by a drummer, and every single time I listen to it, I can't help but relate to significant moments that have occurred in my life so far.

Are you folks going to start writing and touring once more? If you are, can you please make a stop by St. Louis? It'd be spectacular to see you guys live, since that opportunity hasn't been presented itself yet.
