Unfortunately he who is roger federer makes contact with the ball on the outside most edge of the racket and the ball goes flying 60 feet behind the baseline. This the story of
roger federer of recent. Fans and skeptics alike cannot expect him to perform as he did just a mere 5 to 6 years ago.
This brings up the question, what will todays present be in like in tomorows future:
- Will Nadal, who's forehand is so great but his knees are so weak be able to win a match?
- Will Murray who finds it difficult to generate pace at the young rip age of 25 be able to compete with the young upcoming "talent" at age 30?
- And for Djockovic, who's movement is so great, be able to evolve into more than just a grinder?
What will players in the top 10 now look in just 5-8 years???
Nadal in all likely hood will be retired. Djokovic will be banned from tennis. I'm guessing Murray will still be in the top 10 in 5 years along with Dimitrov and Nishikori.

before I didn't see Nadal playing beyond 30 but he's about to turn 27 and is still playing at a great level, could easily last 3-4 more seasons if not injured
Djokovic is bound to get injured, that's just not the nature of a grinders tennis career
I think Murray stands the biggest chance to last the longest, he's played less matches than the other two and seems the fittest currently.... not necessarily the fastest or strongest but he works very hard to be in shape and if you want to play into 30s thats what ya need

they won't survive as long as Federer, their game is much more physical and takes a toll on the body, especially Nadal who has already had him body break down a couple of times
Anyway, I think nadal will be the only player that will still be able to play tennis at age 30. Murray and Djockovic are much more defensive than some people realize.
Should remain in top 10. Nadal and Djokovic can evolve still or I should say adapt a more aggressive game as they age nearing 30 years old, same goes for Murray but dont see Andy doing it. Djokovic can flatten out his strokes so can Nadal no matter how unnatural that seems for Rafa. The' ll lose some of their movement but like I said compensate by playing more aggressively, which will keep them in top 10.
Nole and Andy at 30, hmm. They are both going to be 26 this month. The question is who'll stop them? youngsters are nowhere to be seen. Nadal is still going strong IMO. btw, Djokovic did indicate in one of his interviews that he was planing to retire early. I can't remember what 'early' he had in mind but I think it was 30.

nadal's case is a miracle to me. So many injuries and still he wins 5 tournaments one 1 knee and the career threatening injuries never seem to go through with their threatens.
For me there are 3 possible explanations:
- nadal is a human being who is that much better than the rest on 1 knee and plays through the pain (which I don't believe)
- he never had injuries as serious as his team wants us to believe
- ......... (better not write it)
All I am sure of is that Nole will be the hottest. :shrug:
