Roger is almost 34 Crisstti.

Well, that is only 1 year more than what I thought.

Wonder how old that is for an elite athlete.  I know top basketball players are even in their late 30's.  How old was Jimmy Connors when he was still more or less at the top?.

jimmy Connors manages to stay at near the top for 20 years crisstti. unbelievable achievement. he was around 39 and still making a lot of noise on the tour.

rosewall was playing and competing until he was around 40 years old.





Rafa can easily play until he is 35 but he has to cut back activity on the hard courts. his game is not efficient enough for prolonged activity on the hard courts. it is causing too many injuries for him now. and the hard courts are now killing his ground game.

2013 happened and he made it happen. but it is time to protect the career now. not much time left. he will be forced to exit the sport with the next big injury.


roger will be able to compete well into his 40's. he may even play until he is 45-47.
