A good medicine, is sometimes a bitter medicine. I guess that is what happen to Roger Federer in the world of men tennis. Domintation can sometimes make an athlete be lame and lack of skill.
The rivalry of Nadal and Federer seem to have great impact on both, especially seen on Federer lately. Back in the old days of 90’s men tennis are so competitive between Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Goran Ivanisevic, Michael Chang, or Andre Agassi.
The superb of Roger Federer, like the superb domination of Valentino Rossi on motogp 500, make the competition boring. We have to thank Nadal for this like Federer said, so we can see some tennis game again.
I think both Federer and Nadal played a little conservative, but attractive style of play. You don’t see that one hit supper killer service of Goran Ivanisevic or hardcore punching balls of Pete Sampras, but more rally, hard play, and so on.
Well, US Finals 2009 proof the comeback of the King of Tennis Roger Federer, who is now better than ever.
