Declining Balance

Most attention has been skewed towards Nadal's some what freak performances over the past few weeks, but this has also meant that previous number ranked player Federer has become a little less relevant. He was once the most dominating forces in the tennis scene who held the number one title for 237 weeks, but lately we have seen a big shift in his performances. But perhaps we are being too critical as many believe the smaller titles he has been loosing lately is acceptable and that he really has his eyes set on the major's. Only time will tell but one thing is for sure, he is not nearly as good as he use to be as he gets closer to the fragile sporting age of 30.
