Firstly, I'm not a big tennis fan, but I like Federer.
However, to me it seems in recent times his success is more about his opponents failures, be they health or head-space issues. He's paddling along quietly watching opponents effectively trip themselves up.
Not that Federer doesn't contribute to his opponents demise, but it seems the opponents do their very best to self-destruct when they play him or in the lead-up to possible matches! This has created a series of recent finals that I believe are populated with sub-standard opponents, many of the recent ones were unseeded! Is that a fair observation?
I think the minute a half-decent kid comes along, one who has his head in the right place and isn't intimidated but looks forward to the challenge, it'll be stick a fork in Federer he's done!
