Roger Federer started the 2018 season in the best possible manner by defending the Australian Open title, capturing an incredible 20th Slam. But since his loss to Juan Martin Del Potro at Indian Wells, the Swiss maestro has not looked the same player.

He has had some unusual and heart-breaking losses since then, especially at Wimbledon and US Open to Kevin Anderson and John Millman respectively, and to Kei Nishikori at the season-ending World Tour Finals.

Even some of the matches that he won against the likes of Paire, Medvedev, Bautista-Agut, Krajinovic and Simon, he looked well below par and struggled to find rhythm.

The 2019 season might be even tougher for the Swiss with the Next Gen knocking firmly on the door and players like Andy Murray, Stan Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tomas Berdych gearing to come back strong.

He will finally see his incredible level of consistency fade through next season and will announce that he will end his stellar career in his home tournament of Basel in 2020.
