Federer has certainly improved his mental toughness; he seems calm, composed & relaxed, the likes of which Nadal is noted for. He has also added a few techniques such as his unbelievable drop shot. He is now playing much better than when he played Nadal last year. For Nadal to regain the #1 ranking he must play better than he played at the last Australian Open & Wimbledon 08. He not only has Federer to contend with, but a new Roddick, a young & improving Andy Murray & others. Fans are in for a treat with this improved level from the World's top players. Let's see if the smart & determined Nadal can adapt & find a solution/strategy to improve despite his knee problems & start a new chapter of rivalry with Roger the Great.
