I never like this time of the year in tennis after Wimbledon as most of the top players take time off to rest ready for the US Open which starts at the end of next month. Federer has confirmed that he will play in the Cincinnati Masters and then the US Open, the Cincinnati Masters seems to be a good lead up tournament for most of the top players. We don't have to wait long for this tournament as it starts on August 10th.

Montreal Masters starts a week before so we only have to wait till 5th. August to see most of the best players in action again. And even before that there is a nice ATP 500 event in Washington which starts next Monday. I am thinking most of the top 50 will start their road to US open on this tournament.

What do you guys think about Federer, he already have 20 GS. Do you think he will manage to get one more or few?

He is still one of the best in the game but I don't think he will win another match against Djokovic. Djokovic is firmly inside his head as recent head to head suggests. Therefore, I am seeing Federer as probable semi-finalist in grand slams but not a winner. He is not getting any younger. Hopefully I am wrong and we will see him lift another grand slam.

Yes Federer is one of the all time greats, no doubt about that. I think he can still win but not at the expense of Djokovic as he is just on fire lately specially in grass court.

But as fans we wanted to see Federer win some before he finally retires and then Djokovic taken over from him in terms of the number of Grand slam wins.

Federer will not be winning any more grand slams due to his age, and the stiff competition he gets in the form of Djokovic and others. I felt he should have retired when he was winning, and that could have kept his legacy intact. Djokovic may break Federer record but it’s a long way for him to get fans respect, I’m referring to the incident where he was booed by fans in the final set.

News Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/9508590/federer-loving-wimbledon-booing-djokovic/

Not sure why Djokovic was booed like he was in the final but sometimes this can make players even more determined to win as I remember when Victoria Azarenka was receiving the same treatment in the Australian final, I believe it was the 2013 final and she got up and won. She was even brought to tears after the match so I think the crowd does sometimes need to show some respect even if they don't support the other player.

Djokovic had a very difficult life, he still remembers the 1999 bombing of Serbia and he has already had many difficult moments in his career.
If they are all against him then he is even more determined to win and then he is actually stronger and nobody can beat him.
He is a great champion and I hope he will once receive a deserved respect.

Djokovic having a heart of a champion against all odds he became what he is now, or maybe he is will polished by some circumstances that makes him tougher and agile.

If we compare them then for some statistic that can be found on net Djokovic won more grand slams when competing with Federer and Nadal. Federer won most of them before Nadal and Djokovic were top players. How I may say that Australian open is Djokovic to take, Roland Garros for Nadal, Wimbledon was Federers and US open can take all 3 of them.

That's really a cool way of prediction. This used to happen most of the time, and in specific I've come across Federer winning the Wimbledon twice. Both the time it was a fight back match, in one match it was Nadal who was in the lead 2-1 and finally Federer took it 3-2 which is completely unpredictable and that confirmed Wimbledon is for Federer.

I watch different sports and managed to make sure that in most cases not young and promising win, but old and professional with great experience. This applies not only to martial arts, but also to tennis.

Age is a big factor in martial arts as you can only take certain shots for a long time and still be on the top of the game, i will give you specific examples, Jose Aldo started when he was 18 years old and he was at the top of his spot for 11 long years and before 30 he could not perform any better against the top fighters, take a look at Daniel Cormier he started MMA when he was 30 years old and now he is 40 years old and he still fighting at the top of his game, so there is a big difference.

Really disappointed with Benoît Paire on his performance against Chardy as he was coming into this match in top form playing in clay and yet he came up short after winning the first set, could have went for winning one set rather than going for Benoit Paire to win the match Angry

During the time of Federer and Nadal it was the prime of their career and the fans of tennis idolized these two players specially almost all the grand slam championship these two protagonist meet at the final, Now that Djokovic is dominated the game tennis fans of these generation will Idolized and support Djokovic for sure.

Age! It's something you can not escape from. The stamina of a 20 years old and the stamina of 37 years old will have difference. When people gets aged then they relay on experience but still stamina is needed.

Djokovic is 32 and Federer is 37. The number 5 may not seem a very large number but when it's a difference for age and it's after 35 then things are not very easy especially in Tennis where you are constantly moving, jumping, sprinting. Those matches are very long. You can not continue it for 4 to 5 long hours. Tiredness will stop you every moment. Federer is no exception but still he dominates against his young opponents.

I watch different sports and managed to make sure that in most cases not young and promising win, but old and professional with great experience. This applies not only to martial arts, but also to tennis.
