Well, I was sort of speculating on how many Grand Slams would Federer probably end up with. Of course, he's currently re-writing the record books but certainly, a downturn comes for any great player. Currently, Federer holds 12 Grand Slams out of which 5 are Wimbledon titles. Now, his immediate target is to break Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam tournaments.
Now, as far as the speculation is considered, current observations must be taken into account. The year 2007 was probably the worst one for Federer among the past four years (in 2007 he won 3 Grand Slams). But worst it is becaus he lost as many matches in 2007 as he lost in 2005 and 2006 taken together. It sure sounds like a doomsday prediction. But I still hope that he would keep the steam together for the next 2 to 3 years and if he wins an average of 2 Grand Slams each year he would end up with 18 Grand Slams. Now, if he plays for five to six years more, he would win another Grand Slam or so. That would probably take the tally to 20.
20-that's what I will settle for a prediction. He may win less and may win many more but he would nonetheless be considered the greatest player to pick up a tennis racquet.
