Sad news for federer fans because he is injured and runs an operation because of that.
Will not play at the French Open don't know for other Grand Slams such as Wimbledon and US Open where he still wants to add more tittle Grand Slam.

I don't want to say that he's finished because Federer is one of those players who has a good determination with his career.

He had a run of injuries in the past and was able to defy the odds by winning more grand slams. So this is not new to him, so mentally he can return and resume and chase more tennis accolades. Although age could be a limiting factor for his recovery this time, but I have no doubts that his career is not yet finished.

So it will be a battle for Djokovic and Nadal for the top one this year. Djokovic looks fresher and strong between the two, so for me, Djokovic will continue to end the year as the number one tennis player. Wish Federer for a swift recovery.

Now its all about when he able to come back in court because if he takes long time then surely its going to hurt his cause as body is also not as its need now from big 3 we have 2 these can rule tennis for some long time as both able to hold nerve and can fight as much a win need new generation is good but not as we expect from them.

Remember that Djokovic also come back from injury and regain his form and became the number one player again. But it did take some time and even himself admitted that it is really a tough road. Andy Murray was once in a comeback trail, but his body was not the same anymore.

We do hope that Roger body can still hold on after the operation and can comeback like Djokovic did. Now that we only have him and Nadal, we would like to see the young generations to take over and at least filled the 3rd spot.

@Juggy777 - yes, a win is still a win, as they say. Grin

Damn, so sad to hear about Federer's injury, but I do agree that he can still come back from it and maybe just as strong as ever. He still has the ability to win major tournaments, and with the advancement of sports medicine, he can rehabilitate even at his age and completely be back in the tennis circuit.

I agree, although it's sad to learn that Roger has suffered a injury at the start of the year, but I guess it will do him more good so that he can rest his body will fully recuperating. His not that age has caught up with him, he can still play with the young generations of players, so I doubt that he will simply retire because of his recent injury.

And don't forget at AO Federer said he had not planned to retire maybe he would return to playing after surgery, but my guess could be that this year was his last year playing tennis.

Tight competition between Nadal and Djokovic to be ranked 1 because their point difference is not too far.

I think that Federer still enjoying tennis and can't retire.
He is true tennis legend and we will miss him when he decide to finish his career.
Right now the most interesting thing is if Djokovic can win 2 or 3 GS this year and probably become GOAT.
It's really interesting that everybody likes Federer and Nadal but it seems nobody likes Djokovic.

Very sad news for all Federer funs.
If he skip Wimbledon this year I don’t think that he have chance to win other GS.
Probably final with Djokovic last year in Wimbledon was his last chance to win some GS.
It's sad to see the end of such great career but nothing is enternal.
He will probably try to come back but I doubt he can make some great results again not only because of Nadal or Djokovic but also young players as Thiem, Medvedev, Zverev coming.
His time passed.

Age factor going against him and now this operation so look like its time which is stopping him but we know he is good player and still have ability to stay in with his quality game hopefully he will recover soon and we will able to watch his last few matches in coming days.

Open 13 in Marseille, France already started. They've played already in going on the last 16.

My boy Tsitsipas won over Ymer 6-1, 6-3 he will be facing Pospisil in QF.

Medvedev the top seed, won a come from behind over Jannik Sinner 1-6, 6-1, 6-2.

Denis Shapovalov also won, against Marin Cilic 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.

Just Quarter final line completed as Goffin ranked 3rd for this tournament lost in straight sets against Gerasimov look like we are going to have some more upsets in quarter finals as well because top seed players not in good shape and can lost matches very easily against low ranked players.

There also another big upset, as world number 5 seed and the top seed here, Medvedev lost to Giles Simon in just over 60 minutes. I mean Giles is in the mid 30's but it seems he still has the mentally to beat this young guys. I know this is just a second tier tournament but this is huge, specially that we have talked that the young generations of tennis players should step up.

He will be facing Auger-Aliassime, another favorite of mine, so let's see how the match will go. On the other side of the semis, it will be Tsitsipas vs Bublik, who defeated number 4 D. Shapovalov.

Another example of let down for young generations to show the old school boys, lmao. We may say that Medvedev is inconsistent now as he didn't carry his momentum from last year's performance.

Good for you, both of your favourite players, Auger-Aliassime and Tsitsipas won and they will be facing in the finals.

LOL, I'm glad both of them make it to the finals, and fortunately Tsitsipas won, 6-3, 6-4.

He was the defending championand indeed, he played very well in this tournament, not dropping any sets if I'm not mistaken. He admitted that he didn't crack under pressure (which we also observed from young players), but then again this is just a minor tournament. Congrats to my boy!!! Grin

@Kemarit it was a good game and I’m really happy for Tsitsipas as he has lots of potential within him, and now all he needs to do is focus and build on this victory. Though I’ll agree that this was a small competition but it’ll yet boost his confidence, and hopefully from now on he’ll be able to win more matches consistently.

At this stage of the new tennis season its looking like Medvedev isn't living up to the expectation of him performing well and challenging to be in the top 3 ranked players at the end of the year. I know there is still a long way to go but it seems that he has lost his way after a very successful end to last year. He really needs to get his winning mentality back or we could see him drop out of the top 10 this year.

we have some long discussions about these new generation players but after Grand Slam as they are throwing away matches now I am feeling its too early to talk about them because they are mentally and physically not ready for fighting like big three they will disappear very quickly as we have too many in past.

Unfortunately Clijsters lost to Muguruza in she first match come back, but she still have quality as Grand Slam Champions.
How long will she last? it would be very interesting if he could compete with Serena at the French Open.

Well this is her first match in eight years, and Muguruza is a runner-up in this years AO so it's a difficult match for Clijsters in her comeback trail.

Five double faults, but she level the game 4-4 in the second set and then saved two break points to push the second set to a tie-break. But it was not enough as Muguruza won 8-6.

Muguruza is 26 years old and Clijsters is 36 and when she left tennis 8 years back Muguruza enters in and reached no 1 rank now 16 which is still not bad and Clijsters is playing first match after 8 years big difference but as she played in second set we can expect some good from her as she can give shock to any top ranked player.

She used to be an elite athlete, you can see it in the second set. She still has that mentality but coming back after 8 long years and facing a young player who just came short of the championship in Australia, it will be really difficult for Kim Clijsters. She needs more time and she needs to win at least to get her confidence back.

Winning a match will surely give her confidence moving forward and like I said she does have the talent to win at least a smaller tournament but not sure about her competing for grand slams, I think them days are beyond her now but it is good to see a veteran come back and play. Time will tell if it was worth it for her or not.

Agree, winning a match will gave her the needed confidence but it will be very hard for her to win big tournaments. She should really target those smaller tournaments in the circuit and maybe won a couple. Winning Grand Slams is very different though and at her age it will take continuous matches and it might take a toll on her ageing body. Although women's side is very unpredictable, but the last breed of Grand Slam winners are all very young.

Winning Grand Slam or any WTA big event is very hard for her as now she is already over 36 and 8 years out of tennis surely have some serious impact on her but good thing spirit is still on and she is very positive mind player as she fight in second set we can say its really hard for any player after this long period.
