after his struggles at every grand slam this year
The guy should retire now. His slam results lately are rather pathetic. If he doesn't, he should at least get a bigger racquet.
You're kidding, right? He made it to the finals in all four Slams this year and won two of them. He's made the finals of 17 of the last 18 Slams and won 11.
I assume you were being facetious?
Man, everyone's standards for Federer are so much higher than anyone else who plays tennis that he loses one Slam final and he's done. Do you guys actually know how ridiculous that is?
He's shanking and shanking, and his results are simply awful lately. He's losing matches too frequently and quite frankly with his poor year I thought he'd already have been retired by now. If he gets a bigger racquet and gets an easy draw he just might have another Basel title in him though.
You're crazy. HE CANT WIN BASEL! IMPOSSIBLE! He has done nothing this year to date.
With the help of the crowd, bigger racquet, injured opponents, he might just be able to steal a set.

He got lucky in the FO because he faced a bunch of chokers + a Soderling who can't handle a little backspin.
At Wimbledon he got lucky that Roddick doesn't have a backhand.
At USO, Djokovic was exhausted from getting pounded in the ass after pictures of his catwalk emerged, so he couldn't put up a fight. Match point - he didn't even move for the ball.
At AO, he beat a comatose Del Potro, almost got crushed by Berdych, and got beat by Nadal right after Nadal played an 8 hour marathon SF.

I don't know. Maybe BIG BUBBA would help him win one set. His forehand is about as powerful as 5 year olds now. lol
I agree.
Fed is a useless hasbeen.It will be better for everybody if he retires already and stop ridiculing himself with his pathetic Slam results.:-?
I hope he retires tomorrow.
What?? WHAT?? W H A T?? Do u have a problem?? 2 wins and 2 runner-ups, best year in tennishistory since 1988 (except his own records)after his struggles at every grand slam this year

If you factor in Nadal's injuries, Federer hasn't won a single Slam this year. He lost the only time he faced Nadal in the final. And when he faced a hard hitter like Del Potro, it was clear he was not upto the mark.
Oh great, another "IF NADAL HADN'T BEEN INJURED..." argument. It's totally irrelevant. He wasn't there, Fed won. Deal.
Oh, and they did face off in a final, in Madrid. Who won?
Obviously he should! But the man is stubborn.
I personally think he will win more than 8 wimbledon titles , at least five AO , 3 FO and 7 US open ones ...
Fed is the only player in the history of tennis who gets criticized for winning only 2 slams in a year,it's quite amazing.
Given his crappy results this year and overall his sucky career I really think it's time for him to call it quits.

because he should win 5 a year (Cinncy being the "real" slam).
Actually I take that back, Federer will NEVER retire. He will live on in our hearts and minds. You know how some people don't want to believe Elvis, Michael Jackson, Tupac, and Anna Nicole Smith died. People don't want to believe Federer will retire.
