Roger Federer wants to win at least 20 Grand Slam titles before he retires. The 29-year-old Swiss player earned his 16th title with a victory at the Australian Open this year. But he failed to get beyond the quarterfinals at the French Open and Wimbledon. He's dropped to No. 3 in the rankings, his lowest position since November 2003. However, Federer told the BBC that winning 20 majors is a realistic goal. "I believe that having won three Grand Slams per season three times, and two per year a couple of times, it's something doable for me," he said. "I only play 16 to 20 tournaments per year, so I'm not overplaying, and that keeps the fire burning." Federer overtook Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon in 2009. By winning the French Open a month earlier, he became only the sixth man in history to win a career Grand Slam. But his aura of invincibility has faded in recent months. He has not won a title since the Australian Open, and his quarterfinal loss to Tomas Berdych at Wimbledon marked the first time he failed to make the final at the All England Club since 2002. Federer, who is married with 1-year-old twin daughters, denied his motivation had waned. "I'm giving 100 percent for each and every tournament that I play because I don't play a ton of tournaments," he said in the BBC interview. "Tournaments like Toronto this week and Cincinnati next week are important to me, too. The motivation is huge for the next few years. And obviously if I can win Grand Slams that's fantastic, but they are not the only motivation over the next few years." Federer admits that his body requires more time to recover between tournaments.
