An article about the recent struggles of Frenchmen, Gilles Simon. http://tennisconnected.com/home/2009...me-some-power/
Thank you for the Articles you post KC.
I was thinking today after the Fed/Joko Match that FedEx is making Stars out of a lotta people lately. Pretty much anyone who beats Roger is getting their names in the papers. The World is hopelessly waiting for Roger Federer to return and I personally feel it would be a real shame if he never does.
This is a guy who just a little over a year ago was considered to be the best Tennis Player we've ever seen in all eras. Now the Tennis World has lost respect for him and he doesn't present a threat on the Court anymore. Roger is going to have to win Tournaments the hard way again until he re-establishes himself. The hard way meaning, by outplaying his opponent. Whereas before, he would win at least a couple of games just because of who he is.
I know the Article isn't about Roger but in a sense it is about Roger because Simon may be a good Player in his own right, but I've never seen him play at a level where I thought, Wow this guy has the potential of becoming a Top 3 Player. I don't even see him as a consistent Top 5 Player. I simply see him as a lucky Player who happened to be in the right place at the right time.
