One step closer

After close to four and half year on the top with distance as large as first digit difference of two or more, thanks to some uncharacteristic performance to his nature and reversely unbelievable show by his closest challenger, Roger Federer now faces the closest threat to lose his world #1 position in open tennis arena to his closest and far more better player of the season – Rafeal Nadal.

In last week – Sunday -- Rogers Masters in Toronto Rafeal Nadal defeated Nicolas Keifer comfortably to lift the trophy and came 275 point closer to take world #1 position after Federer fell in the second round to Gilles Simon.

And this changeover could be sooner than later. Mathematics goes this way – If Nadal continues his form and reaches final in Cincinnati starting next week and Federer too continues his form and looses in early round in Cincinnati. This could be as soon as in two weeks.

Though I congratulate Nadal for his recent form and great display of tennis which earned his lot of fans including few twisted from Federer block, I hope world No #1 – The Tennis Musician -- will come up with something special this time – some taste of his own – which mesmerized all the world for close to 7 years.

You can read more on this here.

Update: 31st July

Federer got a narrow escape and was able to save the ball in his court in second round match against Robby Ginepri. Score lines reads as 6-7(2), 7-6 (5), 6-0 which means he was as close as two point away from defeat. So he is still battling with his "own" luck.
