Roger Federer: The Road Back
« on: September 16, 2016, 02:09:17 pm »
This thread will keep track of Roger Federer's progress back to the tour from his recovery from his knee injury, getting fit, work on the courts and finally back on the tour at the beginning of 2017.

Here is a nice image of Roger getting some ground work in the Swiss Alps, backpack and all.  High altitude fitness work is good for the lungs.  That and training blocks in the heat of Dubai is probably why we don't see Roger breathing too hard on the court.  I don't know much about the VO max stuff, General.  I'm sure you can shed some light.



Respectfully,
masterclass

Awesome thread general.

Keep it rolling.

Keep us updated on his return to greatness again.

I am convinced that he is going to come back quite strong in 2017.


I wish him much success in 2017.

I'll keep you posted General.  He actually was practicing on clay (click link below) at the East End of New York island during the US Open.  (Har-Tru Clay)



He's going from hiking in the high altitude Alps to the Dubai desert soon, if he is not already there.

But look at this general:

Roger only played 20 something matches this year, and he is the World's Leading Athlete with some $60 million in non-prize money income (endorsements, etc).

Federer Leads ATP Stars On Forbes List 2016 | ATP World Tour | Tennis

I think he'll be worth a billion or more if he is not already close to it.

Respectfully,

He is probably the most marketable athlete on the planet after Jordan.

Jordan rakes in $100 million a year in endorsement income.


Roger will also get to this level at some point.

Roger is simply too versatile and speaks too many languages quite well.

It's just so hard to imagine him ever winning a slam again.  It's just too much at this point.

But I still hold out a sliver of hope.

what is admirable is that he is not willing to sit idle. he is coming back very strong mentally and physically.

he still has drive and hunger to compete and win.

Roger just has to keep working hard and come back stronger and fitter next year.


I think he can do some damage on grass. he ran out of steam this year at Wimbledon.

he played 10 sets in his last 2 matches there. you just cant afford to let that happen at a slam. it will take its toll on you.

I just don't think he has it in him to win that many 5 setters on today's slow grass.  3 setters or fast grass. yet.

I still cant wait to see Federer back.

the sport of tennis needs him. his work is not done yet in my estimation.

he will come back and fight as hard as he can.

It truly is amazing that he's even still competing.  It's really inspirational to me.
