Greatest Ever? Roger Federer Become Oldest Player To Finish Season Top 2
(Associated Press) — For a player described as a spent force a year ago, Roger Federer is proving he still has it.
After a disappointing 2013 campaign that he finished with a modest 45-17 record, the 17-Grand Slam champion enjoyed a superb resurgence this season, losing to the top-ranked Novak Djokovic in an epic Wimbledon final and adding five new titles to his collection.

Former World No.1 Roger Federer splits with American coach
Roger Federer has split from his American coach Paul Annacone with the struggling Swiss former world number saying on Saturday (Sunday, PHL time) that it was the best time to make a change.
"After a terrific 3-1/2 years working together, Paul and I have decided to move on to the next chapter in our professional lives," the 32-year-old Federer said on his website.
The announcement came two days after the world number seven was dumped out of the Shanghai Masters by France's Gael Monfils.

Roger Federer's Early US Open Exit: The End of His Era?
In the wake of Roger Federer’s untimely fourth round exit in the 2013 US Open, a single word resonated above all. TV commentator and former World no.1 John McEnroe kept lobbing the term “mystique” towards the audience, as if it were another fuzzy tennis ball waiting to be served. The term does have a ring to it, as it encapsulated Federer’s unparalleled dominance in the sport since the turn of the millennium.
Tommy Robredo had no business facing Federer. Whether Federer would admit it or not, the 19th seeded Robredo was merely the final roadblock that stood in the way between Federer and a first-ever showdown against Rafael Nadal at Flushing Meadows. Instead, the 31-year-old Spaniard put on a stunning display, not only upsetting Federer, but also doing so in straight sets, 7-6 (3), 6-3, 6-4.

No More Grand Slam win for Roger Federer, says John McEnroe
John McEnroe finds it hard to envisage Roger Federer adding to his record 17 grand slam titles and believes the Swiss maestro is showing signs of slowing down.
The 32-year-old Federer heads into next week's U.S. Open seeded seventh, his first time outside the top three in any slam in the past decade, and his recent form offers no suggestion of a quick improvement at Flushing Meadows in New York.
