yep

parity. I love it.

re:

He hasn't so much lost his edge as people don't see him as unbeatable anymore. Ever since Djockovic (hope I spelled that right) beat him a while back, R-Fed has been in a bit of a slump. He'll break out of it. Still the best player in the world in my opinion. __________ LB23

the dominance

I think Federer is still the most dominant player in the world and his edge is still very much in tact. He'd have to lose a few more matches before we can talk about his decline..

It'll take more than this...

For Federer to even be considered less than number one he would have to lose a lot more and badly. The man made the Australian Open semis with mono for god's sake.

I agree

with the notion that he's lost that "aura of invincibility" and has given his opponents just enough confidence to think they have a chance. To me, there's not much difference between #1 and #50 in rankings, probably more mental than physical skill there.

i dunno

This wimbledon final really changed a lot. It could have gone either way, although Nadal was playing very well and Federer had too many unforced errors. After all, Nadal has been the second best player on grass. It is only a matter of time until Federer starts doing even worse, although I think for now he still has his edge.

He's still the man

at least for the rest of this season. A better showing than Nadal at the US Open will be key to maintaining his rank.
