Obviously one of the GOATs, what type of player would be competitive with Fed?
Challenger level players? College level? Etc.
Low level ATP player even? Or is it so bad he can’t even run?
Just wondering, I’m reading about how he loved the sport. And how Agassi hated it. And one of the things he hated was how it messed up his body.
I wonder if Fed is like that or is still way more athletic than say your average American lol
Thanks for the discussion y’all
He could probably compete ok, the issue is he’d pay a price which isn’t worth it.
In one of his 2023 interview’s Roger admitted he still plays/practices with Mirka and the kids but has no intention of ever playing professionally ever again.
He’s undergone multiple knee surgeries and playing long matches will be terrible for his body. He’s probably still better than most of the pros but I doubt he wins against the top 10 ranked players.
I think that with his serve, talent and timing he could still easily defeat world n. 400/500 even without running/sprinting. But n.200 or better? I don’t think so. They are fit and consitent, and if you can’t move decently you are in trouble.
