Can Roger Federer complete another Sunshine Double in 2018?

Conclusion

Federer's ability to turn back the clock every time is simply breathtaking

It is ironic, while Roger Federer continues to surge, all the younger contenders are bogged down with one problem or the other. Credit to his supreme fitness regime, The World No 1 has not had many injuries to tackle in his career. The few that he has had are a part of the gruelling demands of the ATP World tour and no athlete is ever spared from them.

What is significant is his ability to turn back the hands of the clock. He manages to make time stand still even today while he waltzes away on the court.

Speaking in an interview with Tennis World USA, Federer said, "When you are a husband and a dad, you don't do everything perfectly. It's a battle on a daily basis, but to always stay calm, it's just almost impossible. But I try to be the best dad I can be, the best husband I can be, the best tennis player. I make a million mistakes."

He further added, "I try to learn from them, but I am definitely not perfect. I am happy that all the hard work paid off. I take a lot of small, big decisions with my team. My positivity, my love for the game, maybe my clarity as well in those difficult moments helped me to be here today."

The humility that Federer exudes can move even a stone-hearted soul. Blazing a trail with his ever inspiring game and love for the sport, all we fans can say is that it has been an absolute blessing living in these times to witness such greatness.

It will be time to see if the World No. 1 can complete his fourth Sunshine double with the Masters 1000 event just two days away. Worth mentioning, that each of the years when Federer has completed a Sunshine Double, he has lifted the Wimbledon title too.

So, are we all going to witness the Swiss great picking his 100th title this year? As fans, we will love to because the greed enables us to thrive in this sport just like the hunger to excel does for the Greatest Of All Time, Roger Federer.
