Thanks for all the opinions everyone! I think Federer is in a legitimate tight spot. Rafa has been edging closer and closer each year and after the French Open debacle – well – yes.

But you said it right Prem. Clay is clay and grass has always been Federer’s playground.

Good post.

I missed the match too. I rushed back from an appointment and turned on my TV. It was only 2hrs in. And it was surreal to see a sulking Federer sitting in his chair. Looking at the highlights, Nadal’s play has improved vastly. Outside clay, I always thought Djokovic was his nightmare, now he’s got two. He’s got to get a real coach, and dig in. Maybe it’s too late.

I too thought Rafa was embarrassed by Federer’s loss.

But clay is clay. Let’s see how things bounce off on grass.

I wouldnt really be surprised if Rafa gets him at Wimbledon this time…I can assure you it isnt the clay that Federer fears…its Nadal…

Nadal has been at it with his fitness and continous improvement….Federer has not been challenged enough and has fallen behind…in everything but his No. 1…he will lose it this summer…
