I’ve never watched Roger Federer look so good against Rafael Nadal. Until today, when he beat Nadal, 6-3, 6-0 in the ATP World Tour Finals in London. Yes, Nadal had a bad day. He was coming off a fairly long break from playing tennis. In addition, Nadal reportedly had a stomach illness a few days ago. Yet, who among us thought Federer could even pull off another match...

It had to be one of the sweetest semifinal victories of Roger Federer’s entire career. Federer’s 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 defeat of Novak Djokovic will be long remembered for many reasons.

It was painful – again – for me to watch Roger Federer lose another tournament to Novak Djokovic this morning. Djokovic trounced Federer 6-3, 6-3 in the Dubai Tennis Championships and the match didn’t seem close most of the time. Last month, Djokovic also beat Federer in the semi-finals of the Australian Open before he defeated Andy Murray in the finals. As a fan, I love Federer and...
