Same old from Andy sadly. When he can get a decent % of first serves he can match anyone as seen in the first set. He never though can consistently maintain it and his second serve is poorer than any male tennis player in the top 20, slow and flat. His forehand let him down again also, plenty of top-spin but no power and it's been a continual weakness throughout his career. Until either or both of these improve he'll never win a slam unless the other three are injured. He's not a natural grass-courter though a la Henman and losing to Nadal in 4 sets on grass is no shameful thing, he at least defended his points from last season. Andy is a hard-court player and his best chance will always come in Australia and the US for a slam title. He had a total blip last year in the US so only has 3rd round points to defend and really should be making the SF. So his ranking should improve there and I can see him overtaking Fed after that. As Djoko is number 1 now, it would be he and not Nadal he would face in the semis if he got there so interesting times ahead. I don't think he'll be too unhappy.

Love it!
