Roger Federer has been touted to be the greatest player to have ever competed in the game of tennis, with 17 grand slam titles to his name and a total of 302 weeks as the world number one. Without a doubt, he is the greatest player to have ever played the game of tennis. Despite the accolades he has, the 2013 season has been a far cry from what we have come to expect from the great Roger Federer. As a fan of his, it has really been disheartening to know of his recent streak of misfortune, and I wish that he would find the form that brought him 17 grand slam titles before.
When Roger lost in the second round of Wimbledon, I was shocked. I never knew that the defending champion of Wimbledon would fall out so quickly. Moreover, it is Wimbledon, the tournament where Roger marked the beginning of his decade of dominance. I always believed that Roger Federer is in a class of his own, and I never expected him to be enduring the worst season he has in the last 10 years.
The game of tennis has evolved so much from where it started. It has become more physically taxing then what it was in the past. What we see on TV doesn’t do the sport of tennis justice as they are running so much faster and hitting the ball so much harder in reality. Believe me it is much tougher than what we think. At the ripe age of 32, it may be a little tough to keep up with the punishing toll the modern game takes on the human body. Well, maybe he has another grand slam left in him, and I would not like to diminish that fact. But if this is to become a reality, it has to be within the next year or two, as time is finite for him.
Roger Federer’s latest result at the Shanghai Rolex Masters 2013 has been a huge blow to the hopes of him regaining the form we once expected, and it has left fans wondering whether the best has yet to come for him. Could it be time for him to hang up his rackets? Or should he retire on a high by winning another grand slam, just like what Pete Sampras did. I would certainly hope for the latter and that Roger Federer will go down in the history books as a great legend.
