Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
If it was his only goal in life and he switched to playing 250's with weaker fields there's a chance he could do it in 5 years. So there's no way he's doing it.

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
Fed is turning 31 this August...in other words he will now NOT be bound by any ATP rules regulation regarding Compulsory Tournaments to be played
So i think he will use that to his advantage to skip MS and smaller tourny for GS's
so realistically speaking 80-82

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
31 is nothing for Fed.
i just revised my estimate of how long he will play:
he plays and competes until he is 40.

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
he can reach number 100, why not? just need to play these american events aka challengers like Sah Jose, Memphis, Atlanta, La, Washington,Win Salem, Newport, etc,... he could easily achieve it in 3-4 years

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
if he snags another 5-6 titles this year, that makes 77 already.
now we are talking just 23 for the next 6 years. do the math.
and he is likely to play until he is 40.

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
if he plays to 35 then its....... possible
for sure he can win a handfull of 250s every year
maybe a 500 a year
couple of WTF left in him
(hopefully) a slam
and maybe a couple of masters
thats maybe 20 titles- so 90 is a stretch- well either way its possible but i doubt it
but to be able to do it says alot about his amazing consistency
probably says a hell lot more about how legendary connors, lendl, mac, rosewall and laver were

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
He should feast on upcoming youngsters in the 250 category, maybe even add some challengers later on. Just to make sure they all lose hope before they reach the top, and therefore become a threat to RF's GOAT status.
He should do this until he's about 40-45.

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin

Re: The King of 100 Titles : The Great Swiss Assasin
I doubt this will happen and I'd rather see him winning another GS than 20 more 250-500 tournaments

winning atp 250 means 4 matches in 7 days and at least big effort in possible final with Troicki, Cilic or Verdasco. He could win 20 of these in a one single year, but why doing this cuase he can easily be no.3 with 2 or 3 titles

you folks are truly negative. this is an honest thread.
i suggest you come up with an honest chat.
not everybody is a hapless, legless, toothless, spineless, gutless, and eyeless ejaculite from the lost world of Ejacustan.
some of us actually know our tennis.
