Tennis Forever

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Federer will drop to number 7 next week. Guess it happens when you fail to defend any of the tourneys you won last year. But I still think Federer came out a better man from yesterdays match than say a month ago. Played with a lot of intensity in the first set and had chances to wrap it up in the second. So his chances of making the SFs in the USO are still bright according to me. As for Nadal, kudos to him.The momentum was all his with Federer looking down the barrel after the second. So another title in the offing for Nadal. Barring the sub-par Wimbledon stint, he's had a wonderful year.
