Whether it's the stronger field or him getting worse, he's lost his dominance and it's going to get a lot worse.

Rafa to finally win Wimbledon?

I think he will win it one year, most likely, not in 2008 though.

so many more errors from Fed in last 6 months
if Nole had believed more in US open final it was there for the taking too
now he does believe...and that gives Fed a bit of a problem

Indeed but are the errors due to a new class of opponents putting him under pressure? I think not - look at his performance against Jarkko, look at his general performance at the Aussie Open this week. The class of opponents may now be better but I think he's still getting worse regardless.

When I first read this I thought no, it's too early to say that just yet. This was an off-form Federer playing Nole possibly close to his best and Fed still gave him a close match.

Having slept on it though I think you are right in that his dominance is over. He will still win slams though just not 3 a year. It was an unbeleiveable run to make 10 GS finals on the trot, something no other male player has every done. It was bound to end sometime.

Not sure about No. 1 status though. I think he will hold on to that for the time being.

Yes most probably true...and the Nadal on non clay slam before Federer on clay slam debate may swing towards Rafa now ...don't think Fed will ever win French now if he couldn't before.
