Australian Open: Roger Federer poised to extend his domination & win 18th major

It’s the final every tennis fan was waiting for over the last couple of days, and now the question on everyone’s mind is: who will win this unforeseen dream title clash of the Australian Open?

Roger Federer probably has the best horoscope amongst tennis players of all time, not just of his generation. Also, he won the first of his 17 Grand Slam titles in 2003 (Wimbledon) during a rare celestial phenomenon when seven planets were in strong positions. 

This indicates that the former World No. 1 would be way ahead of all others in the final count of the number of Grand Slam titles a tennis player has ever won after he hangs up his boots. 

While the Swiss maestro is currently on 17 majors, Rafael Nadal — popularly known as the ‘King of Clay’ — is breathing down his neck with an impressive haul of 14. 

Federer was going through a tough period in his professional career since 2013, owing to the transiting Saturn into an inimical position. He last won a Grand Slam at his favoured Wimbledon in 2012, and has since yearned for another major title. He had a torrid 2016 season, missing out on six months of action owing to injuries, prompting many experts to predict that it was the end of Fedex.

However, that is not to be.

Planet-X has transited into Federer’s tenth house of career, signalling a phenomenal turnaround in the fortunes of arguably the greatest tennis player to have ever played the game.  

Unfortunately for Rafa, Planet-X has transited into his eighth house of obstacles. Thus, for the Spaniard, it could be a case of so near, yet so far, which will surely be a huge disappointment for him. 

So, tennis fans, expect Federer to extend his domination with a jaw-dropping 18th Grand Slam crown.
