A 38-year old player is the world no 3. Weak era?

[PETEhammer]

I think so. Agassi was considered a fossil in 2003-2005 at the age of 33-35 when he was ranked in the top 10. Well, there is a player who's 38 years old and is in the top 3. This must be a super weak era.

A 38-year old had several match points against the world no 1 and holder of 3 Slams too btw.

I always assume the cat is the one writing

Pretty sure I've said something very similar recently about 2004erer's backhand.

I wasn't the first though (neither was St. Petros). Take a look at this thread:

Federer's dreadful 2004 backhand | Talk Tennis (tennis-warehouse.com)

Great minds.

Yeah I just watched Agassi VS Federer that year at the USO. That thing was horrible. I can't even call it a BH

You can never unsee it either. Just imagine: Ancient, back agonized Agassi was able to take advantage of that backhand with his weak serve, and people on here think that version of "peak" Fed would stand a chance against 2015, 2017erer hitting his serve and backhand better than ever? LMAO!

Federer isn't Number 3 anymore ... his current ATP Ranking is #6.

I would be surprised if he gets back into the Top 5, let alone Top 3. He won't get back to #1 ... but he had a pretty good run.

"Injured," gluten-intolerant 36-year-old is about to win his 23rd slam.

Weak era? Duh.
