    He's good. Too bad he blew it vs Djokovic. Guy had a reputation for being really nice to the ball boys and was as humble as it got.

    Nadal will probably pass him

    Wimbledon final with the 2 championship points wasted could be the most life-changing moment in the history of tennis.

    Where are you reading this? I follow tennis pretty well haven't heard anything like this.

    My bet is he will go till he passes Conners and till he cant stay top 10.

    Guy seems to enjoy the life. Came across his entourage at the Met in 2015 USOpen. Guy was cool as shit and he had a rd of 32 match in 6 hours lol.

    Hes married w kids, the wifey and family travel w him.....what's he gonna do? Retire and cut grass? Bet on tennis? Commentary?

    I'd love to see him team up with a youngster like Fritz and make a doubles dynasty going fwd!

    He will not play if he knows he cannot go deep in tourneys, once that happens he leaves

    Tennis is funny career. Most careers when you're successful you retire and travel. Tennis is just constant travel and getting to spend a lot of time in different places. When they retire - what do they do? Travel more? I feel like federer will settle down in his community and probably do some good with his money if his wife will let him.

    Should have retired on a winning note after Aussie '18 or end of that year.

    Why? Despite that he lost, he was playing in one if not the best matches ever a few months ago at Wimbledon. He can still win its not like he is losing in 2-3rd.

    He won the Aussie b2b 17/18, what better time to retire? Made over 150 mil not short of a dollar. Leave on a high.

    With the sponsor earnings and other stuff he is above 300 mil for sure, retiring at the AO 2018 seemed like a good option but now I think he won't retire until he gets out of the top 10.

    To be fair Im not sure how someone with above 300 mil in the bank can still care for endorsement money I guess there is a big part of ego too.
