Roger Federer: 5 Bold Predictions for the Rest of His Hall of Fame Career

It's no news that Roger Federer’s remarkable career is on its twilight, sadly so for those true lovers of the game.

No other tennis player in the world is capable of playing in the same level, while maintaining that type of class and artistry.

As the end approaches, people wonder what else the magician is capable of doing on the tennis courts before hanging his rackets.

Most people, especially those in their right frame of mind, who love the sport and understand a little bit of it, cheer for a late career run from the great Swiss.

The slides that follow describe five bold accomplishments that could represent the cherry on the top of a historic career. 

1) Will Win Another Wimbledon

Roger Federer will not go out without winning another major and Wimbledon is his best chance.

This is the stage where Federer won his first major, broke Pete Sampras’s record of number of majors won in addition to the surface where he's more comfortable among those on which the four majors are played.

Expect him to be still a true contender within the next three years.

2) Will Win Another U.S. Open

This is a major in which Federer plays exceptionally well year after year.

In 2011, Federer didn’t reach the finals due to a miraculous shot from Novak Djokovic in a match point of the semifinal match.

An unfair play in which the Serbian, who had given up on the match and was losing it with the New York crowd, hit a winning return with the only desire to miss it and hit the locker room as soon as possible.

Federer has owned this tournament from 2004-2008 in addition to having reached the final in 2009.

3) Will Regain No. 1 Spot in the World

Paradoxically, Federer's current ranking situation can help him regain the top spot in the ranking.

The two players ahead of him—Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal—have a lot of points to defend, especially leading into the U.S. Open.

If he does capture another major and performs well on other Masters 1000, Federer could become the No.1 player in the world again within the next couple of years.

4) Will Win the 2012 Olympic Games

This is obviously last chance to win a Gold Medal. For everything else, Federer will have at least two or three more opportunities.

The tournament will be played on grass, which he loves, and at Wimbledon—a place Federer calls home. It really looks custom made for the Swiss.

Federer definitely understands the opportunity he has in London this year, and therefore expect him to make it a priority and play out of his mind in order to achieve this feat.

5) Will End His Career at the 2016 Olympics

Roger Federer’s career will last longer that most people expect. He loves the game like no one else and still has a great desire to compete and win.

Provided Roger remains healthy—very likely due to the effortlessly way he plays—one shouldn’t be surprised if he stretches his retirement until the 2016 Olympic Games, in Rio de Janeiro.
