Federer loses to Novak Djokovic in three sets at the Sony Ericsson Open today. When was the last time that World # 1 Nadal and Federer both lost at an event they both played in? The two men have dominated the events they played in the last two years. One or the other would win the tournament. I’ll have to research and see when actually the last time was and give you the correct answer. Nadal has started the year in great form winning two of the five tournaments he has played. (BNP Paribas Open, Australian Open) Nadal has reached three finals only losing one of them to Andy Murray. Federer has yet to win a title in the four tournaments he has played this year. Federer has reached three semi finals and the Australian Open Final. Is Federer in decline? I don’t think so but his confidence is shaken!
The improvement of Nadal’s game this year and Federer second straight lost to Nadal in Major Finals at the 2009 Australian Open has taken its toll on Federer mindset. The Wimbledon lost last year was devastating for Federer. Federer will bounce back but the clay season is fast approaching which Federer has been second best the last three years. Until the next tournament we shall wait and see what happens.
