Is "Federer era" waning?
Men's Tennis is not a one way traffic anymore.
Spanish World no.1 Rafael Nadal claimed his first Australian Open Title edging his long-time rival Swiss star Roger Federer in a five-set tantalising final at the Melbourne Park last month.
With the win, Nadal further bolstered his position as World no.1, which the Spanish had achieved at the All England Club Championships last year defeating Federer in another gripping five-setter.
Since 2008, World No.2 Roger Federer has lost three grand slam finals to the Spanish.
Federer, one considered as arguably the best player to have played tennis on earth, is now finding difficult to get past that frontier, Nadal, who, now, has six grand slam titles to his name.
Interestingly, Federer's five grand slam final defeats so far have all come against the Spanish.
Federer, who is looking for a record equaling 14 grand slam titles of another great Pete Sampras, has not had a happy outing since 2008. Since then, he has lost three grand slam finals which also includes the Wimbledon which the maestro had managed to claim it for fifth consecutive time from 2003-2007.
His lone grand slam triumph came at the Flushing Meadows last year when he defeated Briton Andy Murray.
The Swiss great might be able to eventually equal and get past Pete Sampras's record of 14 slam titles, but it looks rather difficult if the "Federer era", essentially between 2004-2007 when he captured amazing 11 grand slam titles, will figure again.
With Nadal further widening his distance as World No.1 after triumphing at the Australian Open and Serbian Novak Djokovic and Briton Andy Murray repeatedly threatening to claim the top spot, it now looks that Men's tennis world is no more a one man show.
