By the looks of it, an end to the Rafa-Fed gentlemanly agreement is nigh.
According to this report, Rafa has had some harsh words for Fed for not supporting players’ union on the issue of shortening the season.

End of Rafa-Fed love in?

Did Eric Cantona write that statement for him?
to be fair if there is a general concencus regarding this in the locker room then the senior players have to come across as a single voice.
I and many others have always felt Federer has had preferential treatment at the slams in terms of days and times of his matches. While the like of Andy and Novak play matches during the height of the burning sun, Fed notoriously plays his matches first or more often than not in the evening.
Maybe he understands where he is well off and doesn't want to rock the boat that feeds him.
