Tennis Immortality: Federer, Roger Taylor & the Cost of Greatness

This week on Rock n Roll Tennis, Keith and John dive into the state of modern tennis, mixing sharp opinion with deep respect for the game’s legends.

We kick off by debating the late start of the Next Gen Finals — asking whether tennis is losing touch with players, fans, and broadcast common sense in the pursuit of entertainment.

The conversation then turns to Roger Taylor, revisiting his remarkable contribution to British tennis and why his legacy deserves far greater recognition in the modern era.

We also tackle other aspects in the sport:

👉 Why so many players retired early

👉 The physical and mental toll of the modern tour

👉 Whether tennis is demanding too much, too soon, from its stars

Finally, we reflect on the Hall of Fame election of Roger Federer, discussing what truly defines greatness, longevity, and immortality in tennis — and why Federer’s legacy may never be matched.

Insightful, opinionated, and unapologetically honest — this is Rock n Roll Tennis doing what it does best.
