End of Federer Era

After playing unbelieveable tennis for over 8 years, now the question comes to all tennis lovers and experts that is this the end of the legendary Roger Federer who is considered to be the greatest tennis players?
Well recent results shows that now age is catching him up and he now plays tennis only to a limited quality.

His sudden loss to some players whom he can beat with closed eyes in his days now makes him pack up either in the quarter final or in the semi final with some exception in the finals.
His consecutive exit in the quarter finals in Wimbledon where is is considered to be undisputed king till the last decade supports the fact. Similiar is the case in the Australian open 2011 and French Open 2011.
His lost to US open to Del Porto is no exception to the story.

Federer needs to regain his old touch and form specialy his movements on the court to be faster to beat the current players like T songa, soderling, Novak Djkovic not to mention Nadal to whom he lost more than he won. His lost to Nadal in French open shows he is no match on the clay court.
Further one should not forget that Nadal had won 10 Grand Slams only during the reign of Federer
