. NO, IT HAS MORE RIGHT TO ERROR:
Before Halle, Federer said: "My goal is to be No.1 at the end of the year. Has he achieved? Yes. Envy? Probably. Flexibility? Not really, because he set the bar very high. After a season on clay finally disappointing, the Swiss is back to where it was in 2008, with doubts and his worst rival Nadal at the top of his game. One thing is certain: the perfect season for the Swiss will not again this year. Champion winner in Melbourne but lost to Paris, the Grand Slam will not be feasible once again this season. And the No.1 place seems to escape the hands like a soap. Away from the debate on a possible further decline would not be constructive, the Swiss is still in meeting this ambitious goal is to become World No.1 by the end of the season. A possible goal, but he will have become the tennis statistics crazy to wear the clothes of the circuit pattern while fetching this short week that it lacks. Certainly the hardest. This is why, given the second part of season he made in 2009, Federer has more right to make mistakes.
The tone will be set in London. We knew that part of his season was played in Paris. But not all. By cons, if Switzerland loses his title at Wimbledon, is up 1980 points at stake, it will be very difficult to join Nadal in the top ranks. Especially if the Spaniard, who was absent at the All-England Club last season, goes far in the table in London. If Federer loses the final, he concede another 800 points to Nadal. (1280 if he loses in the semi-final 1640 quarter-final knockout round in 1820). A fact that can not afford in this time when all points will count. And all the cons-to pay cash performance. Proof: if save his crown in London, "Rodgeur" will still make a perfect summer. Nothing insurmountable for a champion of its size: in 2005, he won Wimbledon, Cincinnati and the U.S. Open without going through the box Canada. Better, in 2006, the year reference, it lost only one game in the second half of the season between Halle and the Masters Cup (against Andy Murray 2nd round of Cincinnati).
After Roland Garros, Nadal had 310 points ahead of Federer. Beaten in the final at Halle by Lleyton Hewitt on Sunday, Roger scraped 90 points to Rafael, stopped by Feliciano Lopez quarter-finals at Queen's. The place where he could get the 220 points would be the Canada Masters, where he had stopped in the quarterfinals last year against Tsonga, and at the U.S. Open if he wins his sixth title. A except that it should not be missed in Cincinnati (1000 points title to keep). If it passes through the summer with gusto, he has done the hard part, the Swiss had "only" 700 points to defend before the end of the season (a final in Basel semi-finals in the Masters Cup) . Federer has chosen to put a nice pressure on their shoulders. So he knows what he can do. (S.P.)

. YES, HE HAS THE RIGHT TO ERROR:
YES, but YES! You're not going to repeat the blow of declining? Upon diagnosis, the monomania of fatal mononucleosis two years ago, doctors are ATP-auscultent seriously the body of Roger Federer in the roof open (but shrink in 12 seconds, ie) the Gerry Weber Stadion in Halle: "Light in forehand, less tonic service, sir will find it hard, perhaps more will never be able to pass her crown! " Science has its limits. In 2008, Federer has played for six months decreased, and that did not stop him not to do a great win Wimbledon and U.S. Open and become world No.1 next. Without playing his best tennis today, it is still well above the average of its direct rivals.
"Yes, I buried a little too fast"Federer had already said in 2008. Sycophants circuit swap the incense shovels too easily, and you may have noticed, always after Roland Garros. When it comes to those who still earned title, played in three finals and one semi-final in Paris, the critic becomes dramatic. In 2010, Roger Federer takes his career as a father. He has the most enviable record of his sport, he may despise the Masters in 1000, losing Grand Slam, nothing seems to reach. Do not pass the Grand Slam? It does not reach more. The Swiss seems satisfied with his fate. He can sign contracts with life tournaments (eg in Halle, where it is close to the family Webber). It has given at least until 2012 for his career horizon.
For two years, Federer has arranged his schedule around the four majors. If he really wants to beat the record of Pete Sampras (286 weeks in first place in the ATP ranking), suffice it to give a little more of the person on the Masters Series in 1000 that failed recently. It might even beat the record from Andre Agassi (16 M1000) and why not tickle Rafael Nadal (18). At Wimbledon, knowing he will not be better than Sampras (five straight titles), it can still aim for the 7 titles. Moreover, at Wimbledon as the U.S. Open, the tables will be very open and Nadal also will struggle to have a picture as clear as in Paris. But all these considerations are ultimately unimportant. Federer calmly considering his late career. It will quietly flying the circuit simply because the other players are not yet ready to take his place. Watch (read our post "Agency Flop10" on our blog) in what condition the young and young at the top 10 are ... (J.C.)
