ATP World Tour ? Roger Federer looking to get his best tennis back

Loosing the first place in the ATP World Rankings did not suit well to Roger Federer. Considering Rafael Nadal’s is playing at his career’s best, Federer is going to require all of the resources that he has available to get the No. 1 spot back. This is the reason why Federer is adding a new member to his team: Paul Annacone, who happens to be former Pete Sampras’ coach.  For now the agreement is just for a test period, and the results and sensations will determine its extension.

After 285 weeks of being ranked as number one, and needing only one more week to tie the all-time record held by Sampras, the Swiss lost the first place and record opportunity when Nadal won Rolando Garros on June 6th. And the fall didn’t stop there, because Serbian Novak Djokovic pushed him to the third place after Wimbledon. This year has not been the best for him, even though he won a Grand Slam title in the Australian Open after defeating Andy Murray, he has not been able to win another title since.

Roger’s present shows that his game is still effective enough to be in the top places, but not sufficient to be in the first one. In the two last Grand Slams (Roland Garros and Wimbledon) he has lost in the quarter-finals, a completely different scenario from what he experienced last year, when he won both.

On the brighter side, the Federer Express is only 28. He still got some good years ahead, and no big changes need to be made to his game. Perhaps just polish some of his techniques to make those shots into winning points again. Annacone has a real clear picture of the situation: “for guys like that, it is daunting but not that daunting. They are so skilled, they can adjust, but a lot of the adjustment is mental”.

“As Paul winds down his responsibilities working for the Lawn Tennis Association, we will explore our relationship through this test period”.

This is not the first time the Federer tries to step up his game with the help of temporary coaches. Names like Tony Roche, Darren Cahill or Jose Higueras have been associated with him in recent years. Now it is Paul Annacone’s time to influence his style, and hopefully bring his winning strike back.

The Big Apple

Meanwhile the Swiss will harm up for the US Open in the Rogers Cup that will be held in Toronto on August 9th, where all the big names like Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, Davydenko, Soderling, Roddick and Del Potro will be present as well on their run for the title. This tournament will not only award 1000 points to the winner, but also help to strengthen his confidence right before the last Grand Slam of the year.

A virtual win in Toronto would not only lead Federer to the second place on the ranking, but it would also be a great sign of recovery just on time for the Big Apple’s challenge, where his supremacy was only interrupted last year by Del Potro after winning the Open 5 times in a row.

Wimbledon – Federer Obtains the Glory by Winning his 15th Grand Slam

The 27-year-old Swiss, Roger Federer, obtained the glory this past Sunday, after beating Andy Roddick in an electrifying final at Wimbledon 5-7, 7-6(8-6), 7-6(7-5), 3-6, 16-14. The match was 4 hours and 18 minutes long and was exciting from the beginning through the end.

Both players played incredibly, but Roddick was too anxious in his 15th serve of the fifth set, and this lead it to be the only serve he lost in the match, but this was enough to let the triumph go to Federer’s hands. Roddick played almost perfect during the whole match but he could not hold the Swiss for longer and let Federer to surpass Pete Sampras’ most Grand Slam’s titles record and also reaching the top ranking spot.

The game started really good for both players, but Roddick did something unbelievable in the first set and broke Federer’s serve to win the set 7-5. Things looked really tough for the Swiss in the second set as well, the American didn’t give any easy options for Federer to break his serve, however after going to a tiebreak, the Swiss proved why he is the best player in the world since he remained calm and did some incredible plays after being down in the tiebreak and won the second set 7-6(8-6), to equalize the match.

In the third set, things were similar than in the second one; Roddick kept battling by not giving any opportunities for Roger to break his serve whereas Federer was trying to do so and even though he could not do it, Federer did won the tiebreak again in a great way to win the third set 7-6(7-5).

However, things changed during the fourth set and Roddick was more consistent than Federer; he had only 4 unforced errors compared to 7 from the Swiss, which gave him an advantage, and broke Federer’s serve to finish the set 6-3.

During the final and decisive set, things were amazingly tied between the two players, who played really hard and consistently and it seemed that the title could go either way. But at the end, Federer managed to break Roddick’s serve for the first time in the entire match in the 30th game of the set and that was it; the Swiss was the winner and the champion of the tournament with a score of 16-14 fifth set, which lasted 95 thrilling minutes.

During the ceremony, Federer couldn’t contain his happiness of surpassing Sampras’ record and obtaining the No.1 ranking, but he said also that he felt very happy for his best tennis against a great player like Roddick as well. Moreover, he said that he knows it is going to take him a while to assimilate the great way he obtained the 15th title of Grand Slam of his career and what it means for the world of this sport.

“I have never been part of a match that has ended 16-14 in the fifth set so it was a special moment, although everything still feels pretty crazy. It’s going to take some time to digest what I’ve done because it was such an historic day for me and for tennis. It’s unbelievable that I am the main character in such a wonderful journey and I could not go to bed on Sunday night because I was still so excited by what I had achieved,” said the Swiss and now the No.1 of the world.

On the other hand, Roddick expressed his disappointment of been the loser after playing in such an incredible way, but said that he knows that he was facing the best player of all-time and that he also performed in a great way by not giving up in any moment of the match.
