Biggest question right now in the minds of federer fans (or any curious tennis fan) is,

Will 2005 bring federer the revered grand slam?

Ever since he won 3 out of the 4 grand slams in '04, it has become an inevitable question. Here's a look back in the history of the champions who won 3 or more...

		Australian Open	French Open	Wimbledon	US Open
Rod Laver	1969	W	W	W	W
	1970	-	-	4r	4r
Jimmy Connors	1974	W	-	W	W
	1975	F	-	F	F
Mats Wilander	1988	W	W	QF	W
	1989	2r	QF	QF	2r
Roger Federer	2004	W	3r	W	W
	2005	SF	SF	W	W

Unfortunately, none of them has won a grand slam after their stellar year. Let's see what '05 might bring to Roger Federer. Anyways, we atleast know, he's up against history to buck this trend. Go Roger !!!

Update:
Now that he gone down bravely against M. Safin in a five-setter, all the pressure of completing of a grand slam is over. This should considerably ease-up the public expectations, to allow Federer to play his natural game. He has already won 2 titles [Doha, Rotterdam]. A fine start, i would say. Won't you agree?

Update2:
Wow. After going down against Rafa, federer worked his magic for a tripeat at Wimby!!

Update3:
Roger wooed his magic to beat Andre Agassi at the Final. Wow.
