Federer is only 26 perhaps at the peak of his powers..US open has been one of his favourite tournaments and Nadal has not crossed the semis yet...Perhaps Djokovic has a better chance than Nadal at US open against Federer. But I think to come this close to Federer is by itself a massive achievement. By the end of the year things will be more clear but i think Federer has some more slams up his sleeve
I am a Federer fan but now Nadal is poised to take over the mantle from federer by sheer performance. Do not down grade a champion. well done Nadal. Keep going.I can remember, Pete Sampras was second to Jim Courier for a long time and finally took over the 1st Place.Nadal is also like that.wishes for a future no:1

What is unique in this rivalry between Federer and Nadal is the respect they have for each other as borne out in their respective interviews and press statements. I am a staunch Federer fan but wish Nadal the top ranking soon as he really deserves by his consistency this year.
Let us salute the arrival of a new champion; he has proved himself on all surfaces this year and he has beaten Roger Federer twice- once hollow in the French and the other time in a thrilling five setter at Wimbledon, where he appeared to be a better player.I am sure Roger Federer will like to regain his lost glory but, sad to say, this is not his year- he has been below his best!!

you seem to be another of federer fans not able to envision a new champion... please mention any indecent or rude comment from Nadal which can be termed as against the spirit of the sport!

Nadal has been tested multiple times within last one year and he has been clean in all of the tests. Just because he is in a better shape than federer does not mean that he is on steroids...

For your information WADA (World Anti doping Agency) do it for every tennis Tournament. And Nadal has never been tested positive :) You are still not able to figure out why Federer lost in second round and venting your frustration on Nadal.
