my prediction: Fed by the end of 2016 with 17 slams, Serena peak by the end of 2016 and retire by the end of 2020 with at least 22 slams = #1

unless feds 2015 is horrible I think he will try it at the olympics again one last time in 2016.

Serena: 2015 USO, wants to have a baby.
Roger: 2017 WTF, goal #1 is 2016 olympics, and why quit if you earn as much as Djokovic/Nadal combined! :lol:

Doubt it. Serena will be gunning for Graf in 2015 and hungry for AO and Wimbledon which Serena hasn't won for many years.

When you think about it, every year on the Tour for Federer is like 50+ milions. I know that at this point he is quite a rich guy but you cant simply close his eyes on this fact when decide when to stop. Unless they start beating him big time and he drops outside top 20(which I dont see it happen for at least 2 more years2015-2016) he can easily remain on Tour. If he somehow want to challenge Connors record for titles and match wins, we could see him even longer until 2018-2019. If he plays another five years, this is like 250milions(even more) in his pocket. By the way, is he a bilionare at this point of his life?

If I were Serena I'd never retire. It seems like she's always in with a chance.

No slams this year and you can't say this was a horrible year for him, at all.

I think both Serena and Roger will be playing into their 50s. Even by then these 2 geriatrics will be getting slapped about and bagelled tournament after tournament, they will both still enjoy joke draws, mysterious W/Os from their opponents plus favoured scheduling playing on the show courts and cooler temperatures.

History suggests an injury will decide when she retires. I'd say within the next year.
And she doesn't want a baby. She doesn't have the temperament.

Williams bows out the end of 2015. Sans another Grand Slam title. Before father time catches up with up her, she'll add 3 or 4 tournament wins.
Roger Federer, tired of being the whipping boy, retires at the end of 2016.

Federer until fade of 2016--- serena until 2018-2020--- she can pack slams until her late 30's with that weak competition in the WTA....
