Don't take this the wrong way but what do you mean issue ? In a era where Roger is playing with players like Nadal , Novak and Murray he is " 30 years " old and is presently 39-2 in his last 41 matches . This is a young mans sport and at the age of 30 he still has maintained a level of tennis that can result in a 39 -2 record .I think the issue for Roger may be when he has to play two weeks worth of 3 out of 5 set matches.
He's good to play for another 10 years
By issue, I mean that it will be harder for him to win a grand slam than a regular tour event because of the extra physical demands. As you said, it is a young man's game, and even though he is Roger, he is no longer a young man. It seems to me, IIRC, that he's already had a number of 5 set losses when he was up 2 sets to 1 in the last several years.Don't take this the wrong way but what do you mean issue ?

I agree with this statement; have noticed him losing in 5 setters.. Someone mentioned his "technical" style as being able to deal with all conditions and a reason for his consistency, versus let's say Nadal's brute force.By issue, I mean that it will be harder for him to win a grand slam than a regular tour event because of the extra physical demands.

As if there will be no new up and comers over the next few years the same way Nadal came out of nowhere.When that happens, Djoko and Murray will rule the tour.
You don't have to look any further then our own backyard . Milos Raonic who recently beat Andy and gave Roger a scare .As if there will be no new up and comers over the next few years the same way Nadal came out of nowhere.
From your keyboard to god's ears...or eyes...or whatever.Raonic is a serious talent. Big serve. Big groundies. Good mental makeup. The best Canadian singles player I've ever seen.
I can see him reaching top 5 and winning a grand slam.
Welcome back, Guyroch.Roger Federer is going to another Grand Slam QF's .
