Federer out for the rest of 2016

it is a tough break for him. back issues and this knee issue have set him back.

I think roger is determined to get back into the swing of things. he has been already talking about 2017.


he will come back strong.

whether he WILL -- only time will tell..

but i think that with just the right elements falling in place;

good health , fully fit again, well practiced and prepared - carefully adjusted build-up -- hopefully some good draws if that is what it takes (every player would not complain to have a good draw) -

why not? roger can still win a MAJOR, imo. of course it will be much, much more difficult -- but - why not?

again i disagree, the list of players he should fear would easily include: Novak, Andy, Rafa, Raonic, Kyergios, Nishikori, Cilic. He will come back rusty, like anyone would be after half a year of rest, and all these players can easily outplay him on any given day......don't understand that people still over-rate a guy of his age and mileage, plus other factors against him.

I'm with you, Ricardo. Federer is playing competitive tennis, but he wasn't winning so I don't understand the optimism either.

LOLOLOL Whut? Aren't you the one who said "injuries don't count."? You are so inconsistent. I am laughing so hard right now.

Roger's major winning days are behind him IMO but it would still be good to see him on tour in 2017. I think he's still capable of winning masters titles and going deep in majors but father time waits for nobody.

Very reasonable post. It is what it is.
