I am anxious. Should we feel anxious now, for hearing no news from him as we are moving towards late April? Probably me being overthinking, but do you guys share some same thoughts? Every step he took would be analysed under a microscope. Some can somehow adapt to empty tribunes, but not the crowds darling Fed. I would compare with Thiem. Of course reasons are different. But Thiem started AO on a high level and produced epic vs.
Right after that it was again empty stadium and he lost not even showing motivation to win against. Sorry, I cut somehow the post in the middle of the sentence. This is still going on and he withdraws from one tournament after other. He will follow news about crowds on tournaments, he would eventually play in and the decide. If he goes the distance there, no chance he makes the change of surface in a couple of days.
We already saw in what it should be done to win Wimbledon. Playing Sttutgart and Halle was the safest bet. Good choice. He will build his physical condition until end of May, build some match confidence in the two tournaments, and then we go all in with Halle and Wimbledon. Just after 2x Masters, so the field would not be too strong — better opportunity to play more matches. Then a week of pause and FO. Looks optimal to me.
Anybody knows, if Fed got a vaccine? This would make bubbles, quarantines and steady testing, wearing masks when going for a toilet break or getting help from physio a.
Forget Olympics. Instead he could play some lead-in tournament on hard court, maybe Cincy? I have a feeling Federer will also play mixed with Bencic, well I hope so anyway…only 3 wins in mixed will get him another Olympic medal.
Play for love and you will give all that can be given to our world, and that is what will come back to you! Playing every slam not caring much about the result and avoiding any theater. No more lead-in tournaments to be fresh and somehow fit to play some matches and not exit in the first. Will bed RLC the first with Fed as non-playing captain? No more Fedal, I guess. Maybe two other younger guys? Tsitsipas and Zverev or Medvedev or Rublev?
Federer will say goodbye in Basel next year without saying so, rest assured. Probably will go to a few small tournaments he never played in before. Cincinnati for what? To try to win it, with ailing knee and days before USO? Fed will not win USO but he wants to participate there.
It seems with a little more time on the match court, he might well be in with a chance in New York. A real shame because I, like so many I am sure, was looking forward to these Olympic Games tremendously. Better be realistic and then get a nice surprise. He was going to skip Tokyo for a lot of reasons. After 2 years setback with age, injury, long rehab with results not even close to expectations, he wants to be there. Somehow to say Farewell in the most important places. Then he can play anything he wants, not caring about the results but simply to meet loving crowds once more.
No more fun for him and for fans. I want to see him happy in New York and Melbourne with loving crowds, but this cannot be a never-ending story.
Then I would like to see him doing something great in tennis coaching, whatever , if he still likes travelling on tour in this new role. Nadal will try to win maybe his last slam. And there will be a lot of some 10 hungry guys, everyone able to beat any of the Big3, maybe not yet The Djoker. How can Fed survive there and go all the way? Lead-in tournament like Cincy, would have no sense or only to play matches. But every effort before US could shorten his presence in New York.
Certainly agree with you on being realistic with the possibility of a surprise. Philosophically, I think it the healthiest mindset and will allow us to truly appreciate Fed for the God he is until the day comes when he hangs up his racket for good. The defining moment; the Wimbledon final. Took me two years to truly move on. And there is something quite extraordinary about the three of them sharing 20, at the same time. And think of this. Great people have great wins and great losses.
There are always big rivals at least in finals on the other side. Only one can win. If it comes to match points an the very end, everyone can miss a ball or just have a bit of luck.
And the opposite. GOAT is only medial noise. But his greatness and the greatness pf Rafa and Novak will not disappear after someone has more slam titles.
Father Time just says — Mr. Federer, you have done great. The same Father Time will tell the same the rivals. Who knows, when? Who knows, how many slams they can amass? Is this really so important. And the Father Time will make very soon Federer and his fans relax and maybe relive the best moments together.
Before this inevitably comes, we may still hope for him and to show the world some tennis beauty in different dimensions.
