what if he decides this year he can not catch nadal again for #1 with the way the rankings are and he loses early that way he has points to regain next year

I feel for Federer retirement is coming closer and closer. It's been along time since I feel he's enjoyed the game and he's getting older. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Federer's an old dog doing a typical fade. Happens to 'em all. If it didn't, Rod Laver would still be kicking ass.

i think federer is getting older for sure...and his passion is getting lesser but i think always unranked players are always more hard than ranked ones coz they know each other more...n federer is still the best for me :D

Yeah, Fed isn't getting any younger, but I'm sure he's just got to be losing his motivation more than anything else. I mean, the dude has accomplished everything that a tennis player could conceivably want to accomplish, and he's a gazillionaire. What else is left other than retirement?

It's grass court tennis and occasionally an aggressive player with a good serve has a good day, and that can make it very difficult on grass. Look at Llodra against Roddick, Isner and Mahut, Dolgopolov against Tsonga, and Haase against Nadal. If you have a good serve and hard groundies you will always be in a match on grass.

Alternately as in the Isner match, if you have a horrible return you will have a very difficult time breaking serve on grass...

i guess that is because we thought Federer was gonna win all his matches on grass in straights, he´s the king, the legend on grass, on the other hand it´s not unusual that Nadal needs to play 5 sets to get the win on grass, he´s not the king, the legend on grass.
Nowadays tennis has become super competitive, so anyone can beat anyone, any day. There's not much difference between the top 100 players.
I don´t know super Federer but i´m sure Nadal will have to play 5 sets in many matches if he wants to get to the final rounds in Wimbledon, tennis is not easy.
Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.
