Roger Federer Is Playing In His 60th Straight Slam

 

Roger Federer knows there will be something missing at the US Open, with injured holder Rafael Nadal not there to defend his title. But the Swiss second seed is perfectly content to get on with the tennis business at hand and avoid one of his most dangerous rivals.

“For the players, we hope he gets well and he feels better quickly and he’s back on tour soon,” said the 33-year-old, chasing his record 18th major title. “But at the same time, what stands out is the opportunity to try to take advantage of him, the fact that he’s not here. It’s one less really difficult player to beat maybe.

“The focus is more on you or other players rather than him. The players don’t wish injuries to anyone. So you just hope he recovers,” he said of the Spaniard and his right wrist injury which he suffered a month ago during training.

 

Federer heads into the final grand slam of the season as the most on-form of the elite, with two titles (Halle, Cincinnati) and two finals (Wimbledon , Toronto) on his recent resume.

The Swiss ace will be playing in his 60th straight grand slam, a longevity record which is testimony to his passion for remaining injury-free. And his hard work ethic. And his discipline . And his great love of the game.
