By his own high standards 2008 was not the best year for Roger Federer. This year he is faring much better and seems to have recaptured the habit of winning tournaments. His first success at the French Open puts him up there with Pete Sampras on 14 grand slam wins. Federer has been around for years and people sometimes forget he is only 27 years of age. Only a fool would bet against him claiming more grand slams.
Federer has hit some good form at just the right time of the year with Wimbledon just around the corner. The grass of centre court is one of Federers favourite surfaces and he will be eager to add to his title haul. The current World number 1 Rafael Nadal has injury concerns although it is hoped he will be fit in time for Wimbledon. If he does make it the injury is hardly the ideal preparation needed to defend his title.
The smart money will once again be on a Federer versus Nadal final. All tennis fans will welcome yet another epic battle between two of the greatest modern day players. After his recent tournament wins Federer is obviously hungry for more success. He will fancy his chances of winning Wimbledon for the sixth time. Both Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic will be looking to stake their claims especially if Nadal is not fit to play.

That is quite amusing, light hearted and alternative comment on some of the all time great players.
