Could this be the MOST IMPORTANT reason for Federer’s shoddy performance, of late?

Before you read my BS theory on it, what do YOU think is the ONE most vital reason Federer is not playing to his talent and ability? Yeah, just ONE. Strain your tiny freaking brain for once. Got it? See if it’s close to mine now.

Here it is:

Federer is playing, consciously or unconsciously, to ensure Nadal doesn’t surpass his numbers. Even though it’s a very valid reason given the GOAT status and more in contention, it’s working with negative energy in contrast to where he was without the FO title and No. 14.

That’s freaking it. We have more than enough precedents to invalidate the age syndrome. And ALL of them had positive energy fueling their passion driving them past the norm with respect to age, toll on the body, no precedents, whatever.

Everything else, for Federer, from unforced errors to coach to age to competition getting better to possible injuries etc. etc. are just branches. Remember my famous saying? “Cut the root and the branches will wither off by themselves”.

And that root is solely in possession of Federer under lock and key with zero access to anyone else including any coach, person flirting with coach, person with acne, person with silicon, you name it.
