Why R. Federer is on the downswing

No tennis Racquet.

Federer Named Moët & Chandon Ambassador

“As the champagne of victory and an enthusiastic supporter of major tennis tournaments around the world, we are extremely proud to welcome Roger Federer with Moët & Chandon’s hallmark hospitality.”

Fred is on the downswing because weak era is over.

What a disgrace, he should retire immediately.

Fed is proven to be GOAT through the misconstrued logic of haters .. he's "bad" cause he's not "perfect," or the "best."

I can cope with that

FedererDropShot · 12-02-2012, 07:26 PM

2 Runner-Ups (Basel and WTF) towards the end of 2012 and he's somehow on a downswing.

So what did his long title drought period in 2011 represent? Retirement signs?

The downswing of Federer is inevitable because of age, I don't know why people don't understand this.

At least Federer is still a top player at 31 whereas it's a coin toss whether Paella will even be able to walk at 30.

What I don't get is why is Federer even being talked about as being on the downswing at all? He was number 1 in the world only a month ago and is number 2 presently.

wait, you used a picture of Nadal's victory moment at Wimbledon 2008 to show him fallen?

You're right, Fed is such a great player that even with reduced footwork and defensive play he still is at the top of the game.

In comparison to Nadull, as soon as the effects of aging happens and his physicality drops he won't be a top contender, because his game is all physical. Not shotmaking talent like Federer. Just big muscles to generate moonballs.

Dull relies on chokes and distracting opponents with childish celebrations while Federer wins by superior shot making.

Federer will only be on the downswing when he drops from the top five. He hasn't done that since 2003.

Federer has never dropped to the top 5. He zoomed into it as a very young age(22) and never dropped out.
