Welcome back to Tennis Now’s news update show! I’m Ted LePak and I’m serving you,
tennis now. Coming off his break, Roger Federer headed
to Shanghai for the Shanghai Masters next week. Upon Federer’s arrival a death threat
was posted on a popular Chinese website targeting him. Police and other government agencies
have been contacted to increase security during the tournament. The threat read:
"On October 6, I plan to assassinate Federer for the purpose of tennis extermination,"
Who would want to harm Federer? He's like the nicest person ever! Not only that, he’s
like the greatest player ever!...or is he? The Australian Open Launch hosted a Greatest
Of All Time debate on Roger Federer vs Rod Laver. You can watch the video in the links
