The first grand slam of the year is yet to come and that could be the only hope left for Federers’ fans to clinch a title this year considering that the man has twelve already in his kitty. Has the go kaput for Roger like all those legends begun is the question which has started haunting his admirers. Federer hasn’t managed to reach a final this year clearly reflecting a slump in form but he also has injuries to blame as he isn’t at his fittest best.
This time around it was Andy Roddick, someone who hasn’t managed to defeat the Swiss legend in the making in five years, pummelling him 7-6 4-6 6-3 at the quarter final of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami. Even Roddick could sense an under par performer as he mentioned:
He hasn’t missed a ball against me for about six years, I figured the law of statistics had to work for me eventually.
Tell you what people, I am a big admirer of Federer and his graceful style of play so here’s just hoping that the man quickly finds form before he goes on quest for clinching the Slams. The critics are out there with their daggers Roger; it’s high time you silence them.
