How many more slams will Federer win?

It is a simple poll. How many more do you think Federer has in him?

I think it's tough to answer. A lot depends on his motivation and desire. He now holds all the big records so there isn't much else to play for. You'd think he'd tire of the slog and prefer to spend more time with his family. But then again he's a beast so you never know, he may go on four another four years as he keeps stating.

In that case I would opt for 0-3.

I would say 3 or more. He himself stated that 20 is 'doable'.

Zero should be an option or it's not a fair poll.

Hope or think? Tough to separate.

One day he'll win ne and it'll be his day. THT might have been today. But I think the evolution under Annacone was a long term job and do long as the back holds up he's a threat or a while yet. Plus, who says the other three stay fit and in rom?

I vote two more. Maybe. But 0 should be an option.

I think if he wins one more then his slam record will be safe from Rafa, since that will be one more that Rafa can't win.

But the race is still on.

If Rafa wins the USO, he's right back in the race. If Fed wins, then I think it's pretty much game over for Rafa.

Yeah zero should definitely be an option; can you ammend the poll please Olly

I think one more. I get the feeling that this return to the number one spot will only be a brief one, not that it matters much; at almost thirty-one (practically ancient in men's tennis), being married with kids, with the likes of Djokovic and Nadal in their primes and so many distinguishing moments already behind him, for Federer to just be contesting the top spot is a remarkable feat already and one of his most meritorious ones.

Two more finals, one more victory at Slam level would be my guess. Naturally enough, Wimbledon and the US Open are the most likely ones.

How do you edit the OP for a poll???????

Sorry complete oversight by me not putting 0 in

Federer will win many more. He is favourite for USO now surely, the rankings don't lie and he is World number 1, no?

He has just won Wimbledon and I think it will propel him to many more- this was a crucial title as it will not only add to his huge belief, but means he is world number 1.

As for Nadal, well. He is now number 3 in the world (and soon to be number 4 with the form Murray is in), and that is with a clay-court season bolstering it. Let's see- these days he can't get past Round 2 of major events- hopefully he can do a bit better in the Olympics. But as for the US, Hard Court has always been his worst surface, especially the surface there.
Nadal has no chance of winning there, I'm thinking he should play clay 250 tournaments like Bastaad to pick up enough points to keep himself in the top 5.

2.

I think he has another Wimbledon and US Open in him. Depends how long he goes on for. Can't see him playing beyond 33.

you guys are getting carried away right? answer this poll tomorrow not today.

Federer CAN win a slam or two more, however he needs to have slices of luck happen the way it did this time.

I actually think that he is not likely to win another slam. He was quite fortunate that Rafa was eliminated early and Djokovic was somewhat undercooked in the semifinal. However, if he is to win another one, it will most likely be Wimbledon. However, he may need Rafa to be eliminated before the latter stages of the tournament again.

At this stage in his career, I do not think he is able to cope with Rafa over five sets.

I've gone with two as well. When he plays like he did today he is pretty unstoppable but he needs the luck and healthy back too.

I'd say 3. My own estimation has always been that he should win an extra one @ the Aussie Open, an extra one @ the USO and an extra Wimbledon. That would also mean he would hold the record for most grand slam titles in the open era at all 3. But hey, I'm not sure it will unfold exactly like that. It's more than possible he might win 2 @ the USO and none @ the Aussie Open.

I am definitely going to be interested to see how Fed does in the Olympics, Canada & Cinci, will Wimbledon give him a big boost? It is funny, in many ways it was strange that some posters thought that Fed winning the Masters 1000 tournaments was insignificant, it was winning 3 of them in the last 9 months that has now propelled him to finally landing a slam.

I'm not sure I agree with this assessment.

Luck can always be perceived to play a part in any slam victory for anyone. It depends how on how you interpret events. Thus that same perceived luck will also be a factor in the future slams, but who will it favour? We don't know.

Fed beat the number one player in the world and followed it up with victory against the number 4. That is not an easy route to a slam by any measure.

Another way of looking at it is to say that Fed's W triumph is just a continuation of all the success he has enjoyed since last year's USO, and that it was only interrupted by the clay season, where the surface does not do him any favours at all.

He has a shot at the USO this year.

Suggest you pm a mod for guidance.

i think he will win 2 more !!

COME ON FED¬!

I figured he would get to 20, if he wins another one soon then I still think so.

How many more s;lams will Federer win?

I guess it's a question of how many more times he plays Andy in the final.

Have opted for two. Like some others, I always thought Fed had at least one more Slam left in him and was really surprised that he did not even make the Wimby semis two years running when it was considered that SW19 and the USO were his two best bets.
What should be remembered is that he had match points in the semis twice against Djoko in new York, with an interesting-to-say-the-least final encounter with Rafa on the line.
The USO is the only slam in which Fedal have not met. This year ? In any event, I reckon Rog will remain a big favourite for Wimbledon and the USO for at least a couple of years.
