Someone asked Roger if he will still be on the tour when he is 40 and(I have lost the link to the quote) he said something like, “Possibly. A few years ago I thought maybe no, but when you are as fit as I feel now, you feel like you can play forever.”

He turned 38 a month ago. Two years from now, he might be in the US Open at 40.

What do you think? I think he’ll still be out there and top 5.
