Federer's 2008 would have been a lot different if it weren't for the mono, he shouldn't have declined that quickly after a stellar 2007. In fact his 08 form was probably worse than his current 2012 form even though he is 4 years older now; the reason for that IMO was the strain and interruption of training and rhythm caused by mono. No way he loses to Djokovic like that at the AO and then continues to lose to random mugs all year and gets creamed at RG.
