While that may be true, is it Federer's fault? There's not much more he can do, since he wins just about every tournament he plays. Well, if he wins 20 slams in the next 6 years, then he's shown he's more dominant. but I'll agree with you that it's rough on him (as if he cared) to penalize him because his career isn't over yet He just turned 24 last month, his career is much closer to the beginning than to the end. Saying that he has reached his peak in performance is a little like saying that Carlos Zambrano has. Granted, tennis players can be great at a younger age normally but they still develop as players after the age of 24. You have to look no further than Andre Agassi for evidence. Huh? agassi isn't an example, he's a freak. If federer has agassi type longetivity and doesn't have a series of injuries, he'll easily wind up the best tennis player in history.
