Federer Honors Connors

[justineheninhoogenbandfan]

I could see Fedster passing 109 titles. Here is an example of how that could happen:

2007: 10-12 titles
2008: 10-12 titles
2009: 10-12 titles
2010: 8-10 titles
2011: 7-9 titles
2012: 6-8 titles
2013: 4-6 titles
2014: 3-5 titles

Overall: 58-74 titles

He started this year 64 from the record. So I think it is very challenging but quite realistic for him.

Reading about Federer's humility kind of reminds me of Rios and the Williams sisters.

I don't see and I don't think he'll go for it. Even FED himself admits he probably won't break that record ... much as I would like him to.

federer is probably hinting he doesnt plan on playing well into his 30's.

Well Federer had an interview awhile back saying he would retire in 2012, then had another interview that said he has had second thoughts and might play longer. Alot of it would probably depend how he was doing. I agree with an earlier poster that it probably isnt his makeup to keep playing when he is no longer a regular in the top 3 anyway, while Connors played on for multiple years outside of the top 5, even eventually outside the top 10.

federer's goals are probably:


a grand slam

a french

most weeks and yearend #1's

most slams


the rest would just be gravy.
