So many times, we have heard of champions coming back from a
point where it almost seemed impossible! Roger Federer is an example of this.
Being without a grand slam for the last 2 years did not deter him from fighting
and keeping the main objective in mind. And today as we know, he is back and
how! It is nice to see him at the top of the table followed by Djoker and Rafa.
What amazes me is that at 30, he is still playing some of the
best tennis and players like Djoko, Murray and Rafa are at least 4-5 years
younger to Fedex. It is simply wonderful to see Roger play matches and win with
such grace and dignity. The way he plays, the way he conducts himself is just unbelievable.
Great points won have hardly any reactions on his face and the strokes that
come from his racquet are like a flowing river, one after the other are
absolute masterstrokes!
It is going to be a tough fought next 3-4 years in men’s
tennis as the top 5 of Fedex, Djoker, Rafa, Murray and Tsonga look set to take
it ahead and fight for their battles. With Federer back in top form, it’s no
secret that he will be the man to beat in the coming grand slams. As we all
know, once Roger starts winning, there is hardly anyone who can stop him even
at this age where he has reached the peak of his career.
The women’s tennis is also having some kind of renaissance
with the Williams sisters back in action! Serena won the singles crown while the
sisters won the doubles crown. Their story is a tale which will be told to all
youngsters when they start playing tennis that these were sisters who were
almost impossible to beat! With 10 Wimbledon women’s singles titles between
them, it’s not at all difficult to say that who has dominated the women’s
tennis in the last decade! Kvitova and Sharapova are also there to show some
fight and resistance, but the domination of Williams sisters is back and I am
sure that this will generate tough competition among women tennis players, but
if the Williams sisters play up to their full potential, talent combined with
brute force and accuracy then they are almost impossible to be defeated!
