Rightly said.It's only due to lack of faith in himself that he could not even maintain the no.2 position.The same could be said about Marat Safin too.The talented players who accepted Federer as a top-class player have been no-where now,while the one who challenged his power(Nadal,despite his weakness in non-clay surfaces.)
has started winning even in non-clay courts.:D

Yes GaneshKumar, Spot on about Safin too. Safin to me is a waste of talent. If i had the powers i would go ahead and punish him severely.

God does not bestow all of the players with that amount of talent as he has done Safin with. But this bloody fella seems intent on wasting it.

Look at the way he demolished Jokovic today and u must be wondering as to why is this bloke in the 100s and not in the top 5.

By the way,I'm the very Ganesh who's referred your blog to Kalyan(Kalcha).:)

I think Hewitt too is an equally good player,who lost his fame after Federer's supremacy started.:)

Ganesh i dont consider Hewitt and Roddick to be in the same plane, Roddick has a better game than Hewitt and Hewitt is miles ahead of Roddick when it comes to mental strength.

It was that sheer mental strength that propelled Hewitt to the number 1 slot and not his game.
