Tennis legend Roger Federer looked unparalleled at the beginning of his tennis career and won the Wimbledon championship in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Later, he won Wimbledon titles in 2009 and 2012.
After winning 7 Wimbledon titles, Roger Federer lost 4 consecutive Wimbledon titles from 2013–2016. Additionally, he lost his No. 1 ranking after a disastrous defeat in 2013.
Ironically, after losing in the second round against Sergey Stakhovsky at Wimbledon in 2013, Federer also gradually lost his outstanding performance. He was struggling with age and poor health. He finished seventh that year. There is increasing pressure from supporters and fans to perform better.
After that, he failed to win the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Wimbledon titles, Australian Open and French Open titles. In 2014, 2015 Wimbledon finals and 2015 French Open, he was always defeated by another classic tennis player, Novak Djokovic.
Critics say he is getting old. Basically, they're trying to say Federer should retire.
Federer also struggled with injuries. He missed the 2016 Australian Open due to knee surgery and withdrew from the French Open to play in fewer tournaments to extend his career and prepare for the upcoming Wimbledon tournament. Prepare.
Usually, tennis is difficult to play after 30 because sports like tennis require strong endurance, absolute flexibility, and aerobic and anaerobic fitness levels. But Federer always gives positive statements after losing every match, such as "I am gradually improving and I feel optimistic about the next match." He is a positive person and ignores the negative remarks and focuses instead for his daily training.
Staying positive in a negative situation is the most underrated trait a person can have. When a person feels optimistic about his abilities despite losing, he has a better chance of coming back after suffering multiple defeats and losing career and life opportunities.
Roger Federer's positive attitude and persistent efforts at the 2017 Australian Open achieved great results. He defeated the greatest legend of the game ever, Rafael Nadal, in the final and won the Grand Slam. At the age of 35, winning the Australian Open as a tennis player is rare.
Not only the Australian Open, he also participated in the 2017 Wimbledon Championship with his amazing form.
He set a world record to secure the eighth Wimbledon championship, which also set a world record in the history of tennis. Only former legendary tennis player Pete Sampras has won 7 Wimbledon titles (tied with Federer at the time). But Federer surpassed him by winning his 8th Wimbledon title at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships.
Age is a very important factor for professional athletes. This is an ultimate fact, which is why a positive attitude is so important and can help to some extent in overcoming the physical limitations caused by aging.
Federer is one of the greatest players in tennis history. In 2017, Federer regained his No. 1 ranking. Looking at the statistics, even though he is 36 years old, he still leads everyone in performance and has been at No. 1 for 303 consecutive weeks, which is by far the highest in tennis history.
In 2018, the 37-year-old Roger Federer won the Australian Open, but unfortunately, he lost to Kevin Anderson (Kevin Anderson) in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon, and lost to John Millman in the U.S. Open.
Although Federer lost in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and the fourth round of the US Open in 2018, Federer, like a positive person, does not waste time on regrets, negativity and thinking.
Federer's track record suggests he'll be there again with a monstrous storm of incredible racket power.
In short, it’s really hard to beat a person who, despite having many negative situations, underestimates traits like positivity.
