Roger Federer is much better form than any other player on the ATP tour . not only that he send a clear massage wining the Barclay Masters in London against non other than Nadal which in my opinion should count as a grand slam . Anyone who beats a fit Nadal at a final should have a grand slam points.
So king Roger is showing that he is hungry than ever to win more grand slams my predictions this season 2011 Federer will win Australian & US open and Nadal will once again prove that he is the King of clay at French Open and will win one more at Wimbledon denying Andy Murray a chance to win a major sorry Andy as good a player as you are but with Federer & Rafa around you need some magic to win one.

Doha: Federer d. Davydenko perfect start to 2011

Federer needed about 80 minutes to record a 6-3, 6-4 victory at Khalifa Tennis Complex. Federer did not face a break point, winning 40-of-51 service points overall.
Davydenko saved 6-of-8 break points, but the second-seeded Swiss was too much in capturing his 67th career title. Federer also won this event in 2005 and 2006, and said he thought the victory was "huge" because Davydenko was playing at a high level.
"I was very happy with, from my side, I was almost flawless, and I was able to play offensive when I needed to, and when I wanted to it all worked out," Federer said. "So I'm really pleased with such a great final."

"Today he was tough. Really played fast," Davydenko said. "He gave me no chance on the return, and also he was returning good. His first serve was very good. My tennis is okay, really. I don't want to say I played bad today."
One of Davydenko's wins against Federer came in the semifinals here last year, though Federer went on to win the 2010 Australian Open

Davydenko beats Nadal to reach Qatar Open final

Rafael Nadal was upset by Nikolay Davydenko 6-3, 6-2 in a Qatar Open semifinals.

Davydenko will play against Roger Federer for the title in Doha.

Moments before the start of the second set, Nadal called for medical assistance and said: “I don’t have my game; I feel much more tired.”

At 5-0 down in the second set, the Spaniard demonstrated his renowned fighting qualities as he saved two match points and recovered one of the service breaks. He earned four break point chances in the final game, but Davydenko held strong to seal victory


Davydenko leads the Spaniard 6-4 in head-to-head meetings on the ATP tour.

“I always play semis or quarters [against Federer], but the final I play always against Nadal. That was for me much easier to win. I don't know why. Now it's [a] different situation. I think it will be much tougher.” Said Davydenko.

“I think I have good chance,” acknowledged Davydenko. “Beating Top 10 players in tournaments, it's confidence coming back, and for sure it's helping me so much to come back. [My] tennis level is also coming and [so I’m] automatically coming on physically. Just only problem I am not a Top 16 seeded player. That's already a different situation. I can play against Nadal, Djokovic, or Federer already in the fourth round. I just need to see against who I play and how I play.”

Rafael Nadal Beats Roger Federer in Abu Dhabi

Rafael Nadal has defeated Roger Federer in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3). Neither of the two best players currently in men’s tennis were able to break one another’s serves, but Nadal was able to clinch the tie-break points and finish out what ended up being a very close match.

The match was a good precursor to what will undoubtedly be a competitive 2011 year in men’s tennis. With Nadal well on his way to getting a non-calendar Grand Slam (2010’s French Open, Wimbledon, US Open and 2011’s Australian Open) with four Slam titles in a row, this could be the year where Nadal proves himself to be of legendary status.
