So he lost yet another 5 set match to Rafael Nadal at the Australian Open, and lost for the 4th straight time to Andy Murray during the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. To start the season he is 0-3 against those two players and 13-0 against everyone else. Novak Djokovic hasn’t done much of anything yet and looks to get passed up in the rankings by Murray.
As close as Federer is to catching Pete Sampras in majors won, Nadal may be even closer to reaching a Career Grand Slam, if not a Calendar Year Grand Slam. Right now he certainly has the mental edge over everyone else, especially Federer.
Whatever the reason he dropped out of the Masters Event in Monte Carlo, for someone so accustomed to winning, how many more losses to Nadal can he stomach before he call’s it quits? With Andy Murray on the rise, how many more chances to play in Grand Slam finals will he have?
I hope he figures things out because I don’t want to see their rivalry end just yet.
