Implicit in that statement is the assumption that Federer will stay on 17.

I would say that it's unlikely but by no means impossible. He is 26 now, and even if he were theoretically healthy for the next four years I would still think that the feat would be improbable. Add in the fact that his career has been punctuated by long absences (which will probably get worse with age) and I think this becomes doubly improbable. But saying that, he has been so dominant at RG over the years that he could probably go on winning that title indefinitely.

Despite having 17 slams a brilliant record federer has still never won 3 different surface slams a year in other words he hasn't won french open,wimbledon and a hard court slam in the same year or consecutively, neither has djokovic wimbledon, us open and australien open are fast courts just 2 surfaces.

If he was to get more, the majority would be at RG.

3-4 RG titles 2 wimbledon titles and if he plays til 30 then from 8 hard slams am sure he can win few of them. But thats my opinion if he just wins RG this year then he really is reducing his chances but if he wins RG and wim Then not a bad year if he goes on to win 3 slams in a row hes definitely going to be in federers head.

Just watched a tennis match of nadal and one of the commentators said if nadal has a huge this year then roger federers record of 17 slams is in jeopardy. :smile:

Please no negs just kidding feel free to drop some negs. :wink:

He needs 2 just to keep up this season and 3 to take a lead of 1, this assumes that Nadal even lasts to the same age as Federer.

Maybe so but Nadal has only strung 2 grand slams together in 2 seasons compared to 5 for Federer and also Nadal has never won the year end championships compared to 6 times for Federer.

That is true, and that is something that Nadal has achieved that no other player has before. However, Federer has won three slams in three different years (2004, 2006, 2007) and could have matched Nadal's feat if he had beaten Delpo in the USO 2009 final. I don't want to spend all day playing the game of coulda woulda shoulda, though.

Nadal is my favourite player too, but i'm not as invested into his records as ubi1.

I think it showed how much of a champion she is and also showed that she is human and she makes mistakes too despite everyone thinking differently. Nevertheless, she is amazing. :biggrin:

Take it back to the shop, explain the situation and ask them what they can do.

If they can do nothing, take it to a PC repairs shop (it may cost though).

And Hass wins 6-2 6-4 Djokovic multiple UFEs not sure but think it was 30, won something like 9/19 net points, for a large portion of the match couldn't hit a forehand but credit to Haas for his slices, perfect lobs, ridiculously acute angles and mainly for keeping his nerve in some really tense moments..
Personally I think Haas if he does what he just did for a few more days he can easily get to the final.. As for Djokovic loses a fair amount of points but still No 1 and onwards to the clay season although wearing a very tight black shirt underneath his t shirt rumours of injury but I think he just had a bad day at the office against an inspired opponent
