Has Federer Peaked?

Posted on October 8th, 2010 in Players by www.worldtennisratings.com

Rafael Nadal is on a roll. Plain and simple. Winning three consecutive Grand Slam titles to assert himself atop the tennis ranks. Unfortunately for Federer fans, Nadals success has a direct correlation with Federer’s struggles each player has historically served as the major roadblock for the other’s succes. Now with Federer falling early in major tournaments, the ying to his yang has taken advantage, beating Federer head to head and lasting longer when other opponents got to him first.Currently, Federer has dropped to 3 in the world, after losing in the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open. However, he did win the Australian Open at the year’s onset, the fourth Aussie crown on his extensive resume. Mired in his current title drought, hardly a drought though by his terms it is indeed, is it time to write off the 29-year old Fed Express?
