Novak’s elbow issue is not small as per media . Fed can get one of the two majors .
May the force be with you , Roger !!

Federer will win AO 2020 or Wimb 2020

I don't rule Fed out if he comes 100% in shape to those championships and things go for him. The odds are against him now, though, with each passing year.
There could be a new name breaking through as champ somwhere, especially if Novak's injury issues hamper him.
The game does need new champions breaking through.

Yeah story of Federer's career. Waiting for his main rivals to get injured or upset early in the tournament.

It's like saying that's why Nadal won the USO, because both Djokovic and Federer had early exits.You're the worst troll of this forum, BY FAR.Youtube comment section would be a better environment for you, so go there and let your hate for Fed flow.

Really? I'm a massive Fed fan but I just can't see it anymore... Slam losses to Millman, Tsitsipas and a terrible Dimitrov and then a massive choke against Djokovic?
Think he might be finally done after all the years.
My god I hope i'm wrong.

It's not out of the realms of possiblity that he could win in Australia or Wimbeldon. What is clear is that he'll need either Rafa or Novak to exit early, but even then he's susceptible to lose in the quarters against lesser opponents.
I do think that next year is the last year he'll win any slams.

As I have mentioned in other threads, Tennis Australia has contracted GreenSet to lay the new court surface for the AO 2020.
We have absolutely no idea how this surface will play until the Tournament comes around so it is very difficult to speculate as to who will be favoured.
However, after observing the way Medvedev handled himself at the US Open, he may spoil the party for all of the Big 3 in Melbourne next January.
Time will tell.

RF has so much luck that I am convinced he will win AO and/or Wimby. The man has had more luck than 5 lottery winners combined.

2009 was probably one of the strongest years on record, up there with 2012. So many players were in the spotlight.

Rafa skipping Wimbledon and barely finishing FO... a great competitive year?
2009 was Novak's worst year from 2007-2016.
And yet you claim that 2009 was ultra-competitive.
Fascinating.

Soon as Federer lost in the US open, his fans were calling upon the nextGen to step up but yet now they want a 38 year old to win AO or Wimbledon? For slow learners like myself, can someone please explain?

I guess it's called double standards
But I can see Federer winning the AO though, not so sure about WImbledon, even though he usually does better in London.

Yes, absolutely double standards!

2009 Djokovic was leagues ahead of his 2010 form; it's not even a contest lmao. He wasn't in his prime, but he still had a phenomenal clay season (one of his best, in fact) and was pretty good in the second half of the year; I guess his main problem that season was that he ran into the top two so many times; Nadal basically stopped him from winning
Nadal wasn't as good after the French Open, I agree, but you can't deny that his first half of the season was impressive.
Anyway, why keep arguing using arbitrary measurements? Here's what each player had to do to earn their way into the year-end top 10. Let's compare it to 2014, a standard, run-of-the-mill year.
| Top 10 (2009) | Player Achievements (down to GS semifinals and Masters finals) | Top 10 (2014) | Player Achievements |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Federer | Two Slams, Two Slam finals, Two Masters 1000s, | 1. Djokovic | One Slam, WTF, One Slam final, Four Masters 1000s, One Slam semifinal |
| 2. Nadal | One Slam, Three Masters 1000s, Two Masters finals, One extra Slam semifinal | 2. Federer | One Slam final, Two Masters 1000s, WTF final, Three Masters finals, Two Slam semifinals |
| 3. Djokovic | One Masters 1000s, Four Masters finals, One Slam semi | 3. Nadal | One Slam, One Slam final, One Masters 1000, Two Masters finals |
| 4. Murray | Two Masters 1000s, One Masters final, One Slam semi | 4. Wawrinka | One Slam, One Masters 1000 |
| 5. Del Potro | One Slam, WTF final, One Masters final | 5. Nishikori | One Slam final, One Masters final |
| 6. Davydenko | WTF, One Masters 1000 | 6. Murray | One Slam semifinal |
| 7. Roddick | One Slam final, One Slam semifinal | 7. Berdych | One Slam semifinal |
| 8. Soderling | One Slam final | 8. Raonic | Nothing noteworthy |
| 9. Verdasco | One Slam semifinal | 9. Cilic | One Slam |
| 10. Tsonga | Nothing noteworthy | 10. Ferrer | One Masters final |

Not if he gets match points, which is like some horrible paradox. He only wins when he doesn't get them.

It's possible. His only current problem is Djokovic. I don't know why people act like Federer already lost the slam race. He was written off a few times already (not nearly as many times as Nadal but still) but every time he came back. I will be very surprised if AO 2018 was his last slam.
