#3 Top 3 year-end ranking
Federer was World No. 17 when this season began, and in the space of just one tournament, he has climbed seven spots to reach the No. 10 ranking. He needs to perform the same way throughout the season to end up in the top 3 rankings once again.
2016 was a year where the Swiss did not win a single title for the first time since 2000. However, that could now act as a blessing in disguise. He has a pittance of points to defend up to Wimbledon and literally nothing to defend after that!
The gap between the points of World No. 1 Murray and World No. 2 Djokovic is 1,715 and that between World No. 3 Stan Wawrinka and World No. 7 Federer is 2,430. Not that much of a disparity, is it?
Ending the year in the top 3 at the age of 36 will only add to Federer’s legacy of incomprehensible achievements!
