Is Roger Federer’s Era Done?

Is Roger Federer done? That’s the question many tennis fans are asking themselves today. This year was supposed to be the golden year for Roger Federer. This was supposed to be the year that he rose to the occasion and won the French Open and the Olympics. Now, he has lost in straight to Djokovic in the semis of the Australian Open, and he has no chance of pulling off this feat. Not only that, Roger Federer’s No. 1 status is now under severe questioning.

Roger Federer is now the holder of only 2 slams, with Djokovic and Nadal holding the other two. With Federer proving susceptible to the young guns, I wouldn’t be surprised if he falls at Wimbledon, though the U.S. open sounds more likely as Djokovic almost had him there last year. So technically, we can see the end of Federer’s reign by the end of the U.S. open if Nadal or Djokovic win that slam. Of course, Nadal is probably not going to lose the French Open, so Federer is likely to escape this year with 2, 1, or even zero slams! Read the rest of this entry »
