Certainly, no one will question this decision now. Remains true even if he wins a third slam. Going for all four in a year might have had opposite effect and tired him out.

I said it was a smart decision then, and it obviously was. Roger came into Wimbledon fresh as a daisy and went through the field like a daisy-cutter.

Fed's off the court decisions the past year have been impeccable, the
ROI on taking the last 6 months of 2016 off, and skipping clay, which I
questioned, have been off the charts.

He's been Jack Nicklaus like in his 'career time management'... :)

Nobody can argue he wasn't sensible being so terrified of Nadal on clay as to not even bother showing up for a single event!

Or in other words, almost the same slam difference as between Sampras and Agassi.

anyway, but what if Rafa got injured & pulled out, like last yr?
It's a shame a guy like Roger with such a phenomenal record doesn't have
the biggest feather in his cap - calendar slam.
8 Wimbledons is next best thing though & a mythical achievement. To be
the greatest ever at the greatest tennis tournament is quite something.
