US Open 2010: Top four reasons for Roger Federer to win the title
Right from the start of the 21st century, the Swiss tennis maestro, Roger Federer has been unbeatable, unmatchable as well as unbowed. The 29-year-old Roger was ranked number one in the world for a total of two hundred and eighty five weeks in his career. The Swiss has captured every single trophy he could possibly desire to win.
However, this has not been the case anymore. Roger was ranked as low as number three this year, his lowest-ever ranking since 2003. He looks to be struggling in major championships, falling down in the quarter final rounds of grass court Grand Slam tournament as well as the clay court French Open competition. There are rumours that his declining period has started.
However, the right-handed Federer won comprehensively in the final of the ATP Cincinnati Masters tennis tournament just a few days ago, after knocking down Mardy Fish in straight sets. As a result, his rankings improved to number two in the world and the Swiss will appear at the Flushing Meadows as seeded second to win the title.
Here are top four reasons in reverse order as to why the Swiss tennis player, Roger Federer who has so far won just a single major title this year earlier at the Australian Open tennis tournament needs a United States Open trophy 2010.
4. The Media
From 2003 to 2008, Roger Federer made the headlines of the tennis news all around the world. The media followed wherever the Swiss went, noting his every single move on and off the tennis courts.
However, over the last few months, the media coverage has stopped eyeing Federer like hawk. Probably now, the memories will fade, and the fans will forget that the former top-ranked tennis ace from the men’s side Roger Federer is one of the greatest all-time tennis players.
Nevertheless, a victory at the United States Open tennis tournament in New York will definitely grab the media’s attention not only in New York but in fact all around the world.
3. He only has captured a single Grand Slam trophy this season
From 2003 to 2007, Roger Federer captured a total of two Grand Slam trophies every season and managed to repeat in once again back in 2009. This season, the Fed Express has won just a single title, the hard court Australian Open back in January. If he wants to silence his doubters, he has to win a trophy in New York.
2. Andre Agassi
Andre Agassi is undoubtedly one of the top ten all-time tennis players from the men’s side without any question.
If the Swiss tennis star Roger Federer wants to be a part of the debate of the greatest all time tennis players in the history of the game, he has to prove that he is in fact better than the former top-ranked American, Andre Agassi. The American has previously captured Grand Slam titles after crossing thirty back in 2001 as well as in 2003. He didn’t stop even in his 30's. The Swiss tennis ace has to level his total of thirty Grand Slams (two) just to be a part of the debate of the greatest all time tennis players.
1. To prove that he is not done yet
We have been hearing this over and over again that the Swiss tennis player, Roger Federer is done with his professional career. He simply can't dominate in the game of tennis any more.
Roger is still just 29-years old. Players normally experience a run of victories that lasts longer than Roger’s did. People now compare him with the reigning grass court and French Open champion, Rafael Nadal who is just 24-years old.
Heading into the Flushing Meadows, the big man has to prove that he is a overall a better player than the current number one Spaniard, Rafael Nadal.
A title victory in New York, where Rafa has yet to grab his first trophy, would be enough to show his class to the entire world and prove the critics wrong.
