#5 Federer’s superb start to the year
Trending
As in the case with Nadal, there weren’t too many who would have bet on Federer reaching the final of the Australian Open, let alone winning the title. However, capturing his 18th Slam on his return from an injury that threatened to end his career, speaks volumes of the character of the man.
Not only does Federer’s latest triumph reaffirm his status as the greatest of all time, it also sets the tone for possibly yet another year of success. By his own admission, the Australian Open title gives Federer more of a chance of winning another slam this calendar year, particularly Wimbledon. And given his record at SW19, it would be hard to rule out that possibility, though the likes of Nadal, Djokovic and Murray will most definitely have other ideas.
All said and done, the Australian Open has certainly set the stage for another unforgettable year of tennis ahead.
