And he’s back.
That recent loss may have shocked Roger Federer out of his seeming stupor. The Fed defeated Rafael Nadal at the Hamburg final, ending The Nads’ 81-match streak on clay. It looked like Roger was doomed to fall on clay again, but at 2-6 he suddenly and literally roared back to life. That’s how to beat Rafa on clay: take the ball early, play aggressively, and yell. Why should Nadal get to do all the shouting? Sing if you have to.
On to Roland Garros.
