Even his famed powers of recovery will be tested by the torn medial meniscus he suffered in his right knee while beating Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo.
Now, with the next generation winning Majors, there is a real possibility he will never break the record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles he has shared with Margaret Court since winning the US Open last year.
