Wimbledon - Your view: Federer nearing the end

Eurosport - Thu, 09 Jul 15:56:00 2009

Over half the Eurosport-Yahoo! readers in our poll believe Roger Federer is nearing the end of his Wimbledon dominance.

TENNIS 2009 Wimbledon Roger Federer kisses the trophy after sealing sixth SW19 title and record 15th grand slam - 0

Federer's sixth Wimbledon triumph last week leaves him one short of equalling Pete Sampras's and William Renshaw's record of seven titles at the All England Club.

And at 27-years-old, Federer could continue to rack up Grand Slam titles for a good four or five more years.

But 58 per cent of you believe that the world number one will manage only one or two more Wimbledon titles before he retires, while 18 per cent believe this title was his last.

Strangely, though, more of you think Federer will reach double figures in Wimbledon titles than those that think he will win nine.

  2. Of course, Federer has reached the apex of his career.­ Can you imagine what it would mean if he had not yet­ done so? It would mean that he would win more than 30­ grand slam tournaments. The title of this page seems a­ bit self-serving, don't you think?
