Federer aiming for 6th US Open Title

The 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer aiming to win the 6th US Open championship in this year.

The 29-year-old Roger Federer is one of the hot favorite to win the 2011 US Open tournament, where he won the championship for five consecutive occasions from 2004 to 2008. Federer is looking for his sixth US open, which it could surpass American tennis legend Pete Sampras and Jimmy Connors for most US Open titles victory record. Federer had become the only man to win the Olympus US Open Series and US Open crown in 2007.

Federer has been struggling with his form from past season, where he had not won a single major title in this year. His best performances at a Grand Slam come in 2010 Australian Open, as he defeated World No. 4 ranked Andy Murray in three straight sets with a 6–3, 6–4 and 7–6(11) to lift the title for fourth time. Federer also reached in the 2011 French Open final, but failed to make into victory against Rafael Nadal.

The Swiss star Federer should work hard on his main weapons in tennis like volley and serve. He has been started working with Coach Paul Annacone, ahead of the Roger Cup in Toronto and Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, which will begin on next month.
