Is it the end of the Fed-Ex?

Long gone are the days,when the mighty star would just walk on to the court and opponents would shudder at his feet.His majestic stroke play would leave spectators wondering whether they are seeing a sporting match or ballroom dance or an art exhibition.That in nut-shell describes the gr8 swiss maestro,the one and only roger federer.

This was the man until last year.This year,he has won only 1 title.What adds to his worries is that he has lost to the most unpredictable ,most recently his loss at the Rome masters to Stephanek.The big question is whether he can hold on to the no. one slot this year.

With a poor run this year already...the French open seems to be definitely out of his reach.It would be very interesting to see what happen.The day he looses at Wimbledon ,one could say.....it is an end of an era in Tennis

Certainly its not the end.Time and again history shows that all great people have downs in their lives/careers.Similar is the situation with Roger now.I believe this lull in his career will stay for about a year or so and he will definitely rise again and surpass the record of Pistol Pete to become the greatest man ever to hold the racquet!
Hail Roger Federer!!
