Król upadł? Prawdziwa historia by clay death

Fed`s fall was not unexpected. The disturbing trends were in place as early as 2007. Canas was the first to expose one of Fed`s weaknesses as he derailed him on hard courts first at Indian Wells and then again in Miami. Keep in mind that, at that time, Fed had no less than 6 slams on hard courts and had been utterly dominant on that surface.

Canas simply made Fed hit the extra ball. That strategy led the way to other methods of derailing him on hard courts. Nalbandian simply added some offense to the defense and the result was 2 victories over Fed. One at Madrid masters and the other at Paris Masters.

Once players saw that he could be beaten with a relatively sound strategy and tactics, they started to believe more and more. What has happened in 2008 is just a continuation of those dynamics. Now the flood gates have opened and just about any Tom, Dick, or Harry has the necessary belief needed to gun down Fed. Simon did it in Toronto. Dr. Ivo did the honors in Cincy. Blake ran him off the court in Beijing. The list is endless.

A clown by the name of Fish tore him apart at Indian Wells. Even one of Fed`s very own bitches had a field day with him at Miami Masters. Roddick had no trouble with him. Murray too had the pleasure of defeating Fed in Dubai. Tipsy kept him on the court for over 4 hours at the Australian Open. Djokovic beat him at his own game in the semis there.

So what has happened to Fed is not sudden and quick. Even in nature there is no such thing as a sudden jump. Everything is incremental. What really happened is that the world figured out how to play him. Also the new imperatives and the new realities of the game have absolutely no use for a one handed backhand. Fed`s backhand, once so elegant and so effective, has become a massive liability.

He cannot attack off that wing. In addition, his signature slice is just about worthless. slice is considered and employed as such as a defensive shot at best. Another use of a slice may be to get back into a point if you are caught in a defensive position. Still another use is to just vary the pace and the spin. In any case, a slice is a defensive shot in the modern game.

This massive liability (one handed backhand) also hampers his returns off that wing. As for his serve, it is no longer as formidable as it used to be since they all have relatively huge serves now. just look at how big Roddick`s serve is and yet he cannot beat rookies on the tour.

The bottom line is that the world has caught up with his game. Nadal, for the most part, never really had much trouble with him anyway. 2007 Wimby final taught Nadal all he needed to know about playing him on grass. Now he could finally take down Fed on grass as well. As a matter of fact, Nadal should really have won that 2007 final. He just had to learn to deal with his nerves.

Now others will follow on grass as well. Fed basically became a specialized hunter in a particular field. He gave no thought to the idea that the field may change and disturb the monotony of his so very studious equilibrium. He was like a hapless frog in a pot of slowly boiling water and finally got burned and then--to add insult to injury--got drowned.

Na szczęście złoto z Pekinu przywiózł. Fed gdzieś powiedział, że już mu jest ciężko znaleźć motywację do dalszych intensywnych treningów. Osiągnął już prawie wszystko, był na szczycie przez ponad 200 tygodni, a pieniędzy ma pod dostatkiem. Na fotel lidera rankingu już raczej na pewno nie wróci Sad

dokladnie, szczegolnie ze kolejny mlody zawodnik na niego naciska - Djokovic

ja bym go jeszcze nie skreślała. Novak to osobna kwestia, ale odpowiedź na pytanie czy Fed wróci na No 1 leży tylko i wyłacznie w osobie Rafaela Nadala. jeśli będzie utrzymywał swoją formę na wysokim poziomie jak teraz to nikt i nic go nie powstrzyma przed totalną dominacją. a póki co to nie uważam Federera za skończonego. ba, myślę że jeszcze czymś nas zaskoczy Cool

ale raczej w przyszłym sezonie jak uleczy swoją psychike
