Can he or Can
he not?
After his SF
loss in French Open, it seems like everyone has been asking this question about
Roger Federer and his chances to win a GS. And it seems like most of the
critics/fans are skeptical about his chances to win his 17th GS and Wimbledon 2012 in
the presence of Nadal/Djokovic – the
younger\
heavier guns of this generation.After his impressive win today to reach his 32nd GS SF, the question is, Can he or Can he not?
Rather than
answering the question directly, I will today like everyone to ponder about the
following and then answer it yourself:
1) Which critic had thought at the start
of 2011 that Novak Djokovic will emerge as the new World no. 1 in the presence
of Federer/Nadal?
2) Which critic had thought that Nadal will
go on to win 7 French Open titles when he had won his first in 2005?
3) What were the critic’s reaction when
Nadal had supposedly not won a title (except French Open 2011) in 2011?
4) Who had thought that Agassi will
return to World No.1 and win 2 GS after age 30?
5) Who had thought that Steffi Graf on
her return from injuries will go on to defeat Martina Hingis to win French Open
in 1999 and reach the finals of Wimbledon?
6) Who had thought that Kim Clijsters
had a chance to win US Open after her return in the presence of Serena
Williams?
And the list is endless.
So only point which I think is relevant is what does Federer
think about his chances? All those fans who are disheartened by the critics and
analysts predictions, don’t worry as critics are not always right. If they
would have been correct, don’t you think the above would have never happened or
for that matter everyone would have been a billionaire following their
predictions in stock market!
My answer for my initial question:
A man can go only as far as he
thinks he can” And so will Roger Federer!

ReplyDeleteI think Nadal won Monte Carlo and Barcelona last year, not just Roland Garros.
