Nadal is Federer Kryptonite

It wasn't that long ago people were asking the question is Roger Federer the greatest tennis player of all time. He finished the year with a staggering 81-4 record, surpassed Pete Sampras for the most Wimbledon titles, and was on his way to smashing the overall grand slam titles record. The only thing standing in his way was Roger Federer himself. Then along came Rafael Nadal, a player who wasn't intimidated by the Federer mystique with a game that could battle Roger on any surface. The rivalry ensued and after a couple of grand slam final victories Nadal became a legitimate threat to Roger's legacy. Injuries and old age (tennis player age in dog years) have caught up with Federer and what was once seen as a foregone conclusion has now become a huge question mark. Will Roger Federer ever return to his dominant ways? The answer is no. Rafael Nadal will win this year's US Open and become the new face of men's tennis. Roger will give it a valiant effort to hold on to his crown, but the writing is on the wall. Nadal is younger, faster, and is the one player who believes he can beat Federer anytime he walks on the court, It was a great run, but Mr. Federer's days are numbered. Sorry Rog.
