Is Roger Federer slowing down? I don’t think so…. Many players upon reaching the age of thirty or in their late thirties has the option to retire and this does not happen to the sport of tennis alone but almost all sports that you could think off. Why is this so? Most often the age bracket that most players are in their prime is between the age of eighteen to twenty seven. This age bracket has the strength and power of a raging bull, mentally focused, can withstand strenuous trainings and has the drive to win which is complimented by its sheer instinctive power. As for Roger, there’s no sign that he is slowing down nor retiring. This is shown in the recent prestigious tournament Wimbledon 2012 where he defeated Andy Murray in the finals 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 leaving the Britons hope in shambles.
Roger Federer has his share of upset and set backs and even a handful of defeat, injury does not exempt the king of tennis and had some severe injuries that made him disappear from the lime light, sinking his name from world rankings.
The triumph of Roger Federer over Andy Murray ends the two year dought of his carrer, bringing him back to the rooster of seeded players, making him number one.
Grabbing the 7th trophy at Wimbledon is an inspiration and a memorabilia that Roger is not stopping to compete in major tournaments.
