Last year, Andy Roddick and Serena Williams announced that they would play mixed doubles at 2012 London Olympic Games. Roddick said he flooded Serena’s telephone and finally she agreed. Federer’s fans must be eager to know whether he will play mixed doubles. Hingis disclosed in an interview that Federer’s camp contacted her and asked if she could play mixed doubles with Federer. But she neither said Yes nor No. If Federer and Hingis can play mixed doubles at London Olympics, Switzerland will have a good chance to win the gold medal of mixed doubles. At Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008 Olympics, Federer failed to win the gold medals of Men’s Singles. What a pity! But he won the gold medal of Men’s doubles with Wawrinka at 2008 Beijing Olympics. 2012 might be his last show at the Olympic Games. He plans to do his best at the Wimbledon where he won six Grand Slams. I am expecting Federer and Hingis play mixed doubles at the 2012 London Olympics. The 16 –time Grand Slam singles and five-time Grand Slam singles champions may surprise at Wimbledon in 2012. PS: Hingis also wins 10 Grand Slam Doubles and 1 Grand Slam Mixed Doubles.

Kevin, Federer will be definitely exhausted at 2012 Olympic Games. How can a tennis player play single, double and mixed games at the same time?

Federer has won the titles of four grand slams and men's doubles at the 2008 Olympics. I know that he wants to do his best to win the title of men's singles of the Olympic Games. Why not focus all his energy on the title of Men's Singles of 2012 Olympics?

Or he is much more ambitious, planning to claim the titles of single and mixed champions of 2012 Olympics because he has won a medal of men's doubles at Beijing Olympics.

She has to come back and play tennis tour matches for 3 months and then play the 2012 Fed Cup. She also needs to pass through the drug test and then apply for playing 2012 Olympics.
