Over the weekend, a little known Robin Soderling knocked Rafael Nadal out of the French Open.
Just before the start of the French Open, would you have believed that Nadal's invincible streak at Roland Garos would end this year? And that too in the first week itself ?
If you thought that this made things easy for Federer, think again. He made a tough comeback on Monday after being 2 sets down and nearly a break down.
Sports is a great leveler. Just over a year back Federer was seen as being invincible (on all surfaces except clay) - now the same things were being said about Nadal. While it was good to see a great rivalry at the top, men's tennis was becoming boring. Young blood (like Monfils) should stir up the pot.
