Re: Federer : The Mother Of All Quests : 20 Slams And 100 Titles.
By the way, as far as this year goes, he now has more titles this year, 6, since 2007 (total of 8), and more titles prior to the US Open since 2006 where he had 7. Though he's having a great season so far, I think it would take a US Open win to solidify it as his best season since 2006-2007. Really incredible resurgence at the age of 30-31. All credit to his effort.
Respectfully,
masterclass

Man, can't win them all, but certainly missed opportunities at the Olympics and Halle.

I think posts like this should be a banable offence.
I'm sure I'm at least 2% stupider for having read it.

That failure to hold at 10-11 (I think) probably ended his chances for gold. I don't care for Halle. |

True, but remember, he was very happy for his good friend Tommy Haas, and happy for Andy as well.

Not fitness, recovery powers... All of those youngsters have that as an advantage, including Delboy. |

That would be the best place to tie McEnroe with 77 titles. |

He's aware of history CD.
And now he has to make his own path to unchartered waters.
Going through a masters without losing a set and on top of that not being broken in any service game.
Then in the finals against a great serve returner without having a breakpoint against him.
It takes years to decline, with Fed playing at this level it would take awhile for those skills to drop off as long as he schedules intelligently and works hard.
Winning on outdoors HC is a bonus in addition to adding to his legacy.

Re: Federer : The Mother Of All Quests : 20 Slams And 100 Titles.
In all fairness this seemed far-fetched a year ago with Fed getting stuck at a 4-tournaments per year rate for 4 years (and looking like even dropping from that pace in 2011). Since the birth of Wiserer in the semis of USO he's won now 9 titles and suddenly it's looking very realistic, perhaps even likely. Not bad, not bad at all.
