Tennis Forever

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Yes. Federer did a stupid thing by defeating djokovic in 2011. He was in awesome form then.

Coming to this year, Form wise i think it will be Novak. But then again when it comes to clay grandslams and 5 setters my money would be on Nadal.

At 27 and in the long run with fitness by his side, Djokovic is more poised to overhaul Federer's trophy count. Federer is at 84 in 33. Djokovic is 52 or 53 at 27.

Djokovic does have a shot. But I feel this achievement in the making is still a long way off from even being discussed. Probably after 2016. As far as this clay court season is concerned, Nadal is still the favourite albeit not by much of a distance though since Djokovic comes a close second and I find no one else to be in the picture. I want Federer to win Roland Garros but critically speaking, his chances are minimal if not zilch. Federer could have taken the FO'11 to a decider. Had a break in the first, let it go, lost the set and was looking down the barrel after that. He played well actually. Just not enough to get him over the line.
