1. He must believe in his ability to win
What strikes me the most in the Nadal-Federer battles is the lack of belief of the Swiss. In most of their matches, Roger seems to have the key to win, but he's not as efficient as he is against any other player. In 2009, when Rafa won the Australian Open final, Federer looked overall better in terms of level of play. But he was too hesitant and waiting too much instead of dictating the game and later was advised to find a famous coach in order to find new tactical solutions against Nadal. I admit I had been shocked by this position because I really find the Swiss to be precise in his mental game. So why can't he overcome Nadal?

2. Getting Nadal out of his comfort zone
The next reason why Federer is lacking focus against Nadal comes from the fact that it's Rafa who is making him play in his game style. After six- to eight-shot rallies, Roger's focus starts to go down. He's becoming hesitant or too impatient to end the point. He's struggling because the forehand of Rafa comes on his own backhand with heavy topspin and high rebound is preventing him from speeding up the pace

3. Improving serve
It seems obivious, but it's still crucial. Roger's first serve is really great because it has everything needed at this level: accuracy, speed, and effects. He can slice on the deuce side and use the kick on the advantage side in order to get a player out of the court and get openings as soon as the second shot. Against Nadal, strategy demands constant aggressiveness and turning the first serve percentage up is the main key. Get it in, take the initiative on the point and go for broke on the second shot.

4. Attacking the second serves
Keeping up with this aim of depriving Nadal from time, Roger must, as Sampras was doing, be aggressive on the second serves. Rafa hates to be rushed when he prepares his shots

5. Don't be scared of the net
One of Nadal's main strengths is to push his opponent to hit him the same shot again and again. His defensive skills are amazing so it's hard to get him out of the way. His topspin often makes opponents play far from the baseline, preventing them from taking the ball early

6. Fitness, fitness, fitness
When one is facing Rafael Nadal, he has to be in his best possible shape and this for several reasons: The player you're facing is always going to be fitter. Nadal is the most in-shape player out there

I believe (or is it the fan in me that still wants to believe) that Roger still has what it takes to beat Rafa.

Now that he's no longer number one, now that he has lost to Djokovic and has dropped to #3. He no longer has anything to prove. No pressure for him to retain any titles. So what if Rafa has dominated him in their head to head match up, most of those were in clay anyway? Wink Now he can concentrate on playing tennis and just go out there and enjoy.

With this attitude we might still see a resurgent Roger Federer come next season. Remember the spotlight is now on Rafa and that's a pretty heavy burden to carry.

hehe. What Federer needs is Fire and Inspiration. pwedeng maging has been na nga siya. Totoo naman e, been there and done that.ano p ba ang hindi nya nagawa? kung no. 53 kayang talunin si Nadal at his prime what more kung parehong nasa prime si Fed sila naglalaro ni Nadal? for 5 years Fed was in the US Open finals, all Nadal needs to do was to show up even once in those years.  Roll Eyes

kaya magiging maganda next year dahil no. 1 si Nadal and is expected to be on top. All this time si Fed ang nasa equation at laging nasa semis or finals. I just hope Nadal will be consistent enough for both of them to meet and play often.

pareng ian tama ba ko prime ni fed 2004-2007? e nung prime nya tinatalo din siya ng mga below 50 ranked players.

2004 Athens Olympics
Round    Opponent          Ranking    Score    
    
R32    Tomas Berdych (CZE)    79    L 6-4, 5-7, 5-7

2005 ATP Masters Series Monte Carlo
Round    Opponent          Ranking    Score   

Q    Richard Gasquet (FRA)    101    L 7-6(1), 2-6, 6-7(Cool    

2007 ATP Masters Series Rome
Round    Opponent          Ranking    Score    

R16    Filippo Volandri (ITA)    53    L 2-6, 4-6    


tsaka pagkatanda ko nung prime ni fed lamang pa rin si nadal sa head to head nila.

2004-2007 head to head nila pre 8-6 in favor of nadal.

hehe. What Federer needs is Fire and Inspiration. pwedeng maging has been na nga siya.

bro nuon pa sinabi ko na ang prime ni Fed 2005-2007.

pero ito records ni Fed ng prime nya.

Federer's loss against Richard Gasquet in the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters brought his win-loss tally to 35-2 for 2005, the best start on the men's tour since John McEnroe, who holds the record with 39-0 in 1984.

With an 81-4 record in 2005, Federer's winning percentage of 95.3 was second only to McEnroe's open era record, who had a 96.5 percentage and an 82-3 record in 1984.

Federer holds the record for most consecutive singles wins in North America, winning 55 matches before losing to Andy Murray in August 2006.

Federer holds the longest winning streak on hard courts: 56 matches (2005-06).

With his win against Richard Gasquet in the first round of the 2006 Wimbledon, Federer surpassed Borg's 41-match grass court winning streak record. Borg set this record from 1976 to 1981, while playing Wimbledon only. Federer then won his 4th consecutive Wimbledon title with a victory over Nadal, taking the streak to 48.

oo lamang is Nadal sa Head to head nila sa years na yan, pero karamihan dun sa Clay. nasaan b si nadal ng mga panahon n yan ng nasa streak si Federer ng Hard Courts at grass? 

tsaka alam ko this year natatalo na si Nadal sa 7 different players. wag ka rin magwori dahil mukhang hindi naman na mabebeat ni Fed ang record ni sampras for most consecutive weeks as no.1 so safe pa rin si Sampras.. diba.  Cheesy

kaka-basa ko lang nito.

In the last seven years he(Nadal) has lost only once to a player ranked No. 200 or lower, and that came to then-No. 690 Joachim Johansson at the Swede’s home tournament in Stockholm in 2006.  Grin

Ngek one-sided naman view mo heheheh.......
Joachim Johansson(Pim-Pim) is a top player during his prime. He has reached no.9 spot last 2005 but his rating went down due to his injuries.... So when they played last 2006, Pim-Pim's rating was very low Grin Grin Grin  Wink Wink Wink Ano ba yan....... Grin Grin Grin

Totoo naman e, been there and done that.ano p ba ang hindi nya nagawa? kung no. 53 kayang talunin si Nadal at his prime what more kung parehong nasa prime si Fed sila naglalaro ni Nadal? for 5 years Fed was in the US Open finals, all Nadal needs to do was to show up even once in those years.  Roll Eyes

kaya magiging maganda next year dahil no. 1 si Nadal and is expected to be on top. All this time si Fed ang nasa equation at laging nasa semis or finals. I just hope Nadal will be consistent enough for both of them to meet and play often.
bro nuon pa sinabi ko na ang prime ni Fed 2005-2007.

pero ito records ni Fed ng prime nya.

Federer's loss against Richard Gasquet in the 2005 Monte Carlo Masters brought his win-loss tally to 35-2 for 2005, the best start on the men's tour since John McEnroe, who holds the record with 39-0 in 1984.

With an 81-4 record in 2005, Federer's winning percentage of 95.3 was second only to McEnroe's open era record, who had a 96.5 percentage and an 82-3 record in 1984.

Federer holds the record for most consecutive singles wins in North America, winning 55 matches before losing to Andy Murray in August 2006.

Federer holds the longest winning streak on hard courts: 56 matches (2005-06).

With his win against Richard Gasquet in the first round of the 2006 Wimbledon, Federer surpassed Borg's 41-match grass court winning streak record. Borg set this record from 1976 to 1981, while playing Wimbledon only. Federer then won his 4th consecutive Wimbledon title with a victory over Nadal, taking the streak to 48.

oo lamang is Nadal sa Head to head nila sa years na yan, pero karamihan dun sa Clay. nasaan b si nadal ng mga panahon n yan ng nasa streak si Federer ng Hard Courts at grass? 

tsaka alam ko this year natatalo na si Nadal sa 7 different players. wag ka rin magwori dahil mukhang hindi naman na mabebeat ni Fed ang record ni sampras for most consecutive weeks as no.1 so safe pa rin si Sampras.. diba.  Cheesy

It's like comparing an APPLE to an Orange....heheheheh
If you check Nadal's record, he has also his own significant records.

But of all Nadal's record, this is what I want that RF should break.....
Most consecutive weeks as World Number 2 than any player in the history: 160 weeks.     Kung mabreak niya.. the best siya talaga ....hehehehe  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  Grin Grin Grin  Wink Wink Wink Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  Grin Grin Grin

pareng ian tama ba ko prime ni fed 2004-2007? e nung prime nya tinatalo din siya ng mga below 50 ranked players.

2004 Athens Olympics
Round    Opponent          Ranking    Score    
    
R32    Tomas Berdych (CZE)    79    L 6-4, 5-7, 5-7

2005 ATP Masters Series Monte Carlo
Round    Opponent          Ranking    Score

Round    Opponent          Ranking    Score    

R16    Filippo Volandri (ITA)    53    L 2-6, 4-6    


tsaka pagkatanda ko nung prime ni fed lamang pa rin si nadal sa head to head nila.

2004-2007 head to head nila pre 8-6 in favor of nadal.

kaka-basa ko lang nito.

In the last seven years he(Nadal) has lost only once to a player ranked No. 200 or lower, and that came to then-No. 690 Joachim Johansson at the Swede’s home tournament in Stockholm in 2006.  Grin

Ngek one-sided naman view mo heheheh.......
Joachim Johansson(Pim-Pim) is a top player during his prime. He has reached no.9 spot last 2005 but his rating went down due to his injuries.... So when they played last 2006, Pim-Pim's rating was very low Grin Grin Grin  Wink Wink Wink Ano ba yan....... Grin Grin Grin

eto ba yung sinasabi nila na past his prime na RF?  I still believe that RF is not past his prime and is more than capable of winning more GS all he needs is a winning attitude and belief in himself, you don't consistently reach the quarters and semis of tournaments kung laos ka na.  you don't beat or give the most in form player of the moment (Djokovic) problems kung laos ka na. 

Nice win RF  Grin
