Roger Federer at the turning point in his tennis career – Tennis News
Right-hander Swiss number one, Roger Federer, is undoubtedly a living tennis legend to have ever played the game. In his tennis career, he had secured several records and uncountable achievement, making him the world favourite
player. He is renowned for his powerful strokes and graceful forehands, along with his calm and humble character.
He had remarkable style of delivering high paced serve-all volleys and smashing shots from the baseline. He is a complete all rounder, displaying his enormous potential and love for the sport. He has experienced more than one climax
peaks in his career and played on the same old chasing courts and accomplishments.
However, his critics believe that Federer is at the turning point in his tennis career, where he is double-minded about his future pathway. He is the reigning world number one after his outstanding victory over the British number
one, Andy Murray, rested him again on the top. His future stance is the biggest ambiguity and his exit plan is greatly anticipated by all his rivals.
For many tennis players reaching to top spot is not as big of a deal as to retain that spotfor years and years. Many tennis players in the past aimed to do so but all failed except Pete Sampras.
For Sampras the situation also proved to be ideal as he was the most experienced player at that moment and his gradually trickled down after two years, displaying a remarkable Grand Slam victory for all times to come.
For the 31-year-old, the situation is comparatively difficult and his performance is not invincible as his former peak. He maintains an average head-to-head record against his challengers, for example he had 3-6 losing edge against
Novak Djokovic, a 2-4 against Rafael Nadal and 2-2 record against Murray.
Recently, he finished his 300th week as the world number one but that may be a luck coincidence. The Spanish King of Clay's absence due to his plagued knee added to Federer’s pleasure, as it eliminated a great deal of
pressure. Furthermore, Djokovic considerable weaker game plan after manifesting a remarkable 2011.
The men’s tennis has experienced remarkable shifts in this year as four different contenders won the all four Grand Slam titles in the running season. Djokovic and Murray are still young; they have ample room for improvement on
their posture and strategy. They can surely overcome Federer with their fresh blood and high ambitions.
Therefore, the Swiss tennis veteran needs to recalibrate his current performance in order mark an emphatic win to his ending year.
