Roger Federer

has lost 3 of his last 4 matches.

The final with the Mexican kid was amazing, but I'm thinking that his heart isn't in it right now. I don't know if it ever will be again.

I think he is still injured or his past nagging injuries impaired him. I look to the future to see if or when this comes out.

He may be better of next year playing the 1st half of the year more conservatively. I think he is just worn out from the long year of tennis thus far. He could have an injury as well.

He may be best served taking of the Olympics as Roddick is doing.

ESPN said Nadal will pass him in the next rankings. It would mean he is not #1 for the first time since 2004.

Dude hasn't been the same since he had mono.

Honestly, I think the ugly girlfriend has something to do with it. He needs an upgrade.

Bingo, we have a winner. Federer should be dating the hottest girl in the world...at least one of the top 100 hottest girls in the world. Objectively speaking, she's not even cute for a normal dude...let alone the world's greatest tennis player.

Yes Nadal will be #1 in 2 weeks as his points from last year at this time will roll over and his 12 month cycle of points will be #1.

Federer has been #1 for 235 consecutive weeks and I guess it will be 237 when he gets bumped down to #2. What a run that was. I wonder how long he will stay at #2 the way he has been playing lately? Djokovic isn't a distant 3rd and if he wins this tournament and makes a good showing at the US Open he could overtake Federer by year's end I believe.

Djokovic shines on hard court surfaces and it will be interesting to see which side of the draw he gets slotted into at the US Open. He faces Murray in this final and that should be a great match. Murray has been playing very well.

Murray downs Djokovic. Guy is on a roll right now. I like his fire and his game.

He's having a bad year. The health issue and the problems are dragging him down. It will be interesting to see how next year goes when his body is back together. I predicted to some friends that Nadal would win Wimbledon before Federer won the Roland Garros, but since Nadal can be a little fragil I think it's only a question of time when Nadal isn't able to make a decent run at the French Open. The question is: will Federer be off his game and fall to someone like Ferrer or Djokovic.

I don't know what's up with Mirca; she's gained a lot of weight this year.

I wonder if the roids that Nadal takes will help with his being so brittle, like a little girl.

?? that's very disrespectful and immature

Roids? I'm a big Federer fan, but I don't think Rafa uses steriods. For one thing, he's got a pretty well documented workout regimen. Also, he doesn't display the side effects of steriords (acne, irritability). I think they get pretty well drug tested, too. Ask Mariano Puerta.
