I knew when I woke up this morning that Wawrinka was going to whoop on Fed. Yeah, Fed beat him on clay at that one event last month, but I watched that online and Wawrinka basically just threw that match. He played like he didn't care at all and Roger played like it was the most important match of his life.
These past couple of years have spelled the downfall of Federer and Nadal. I don't think either one wins another major. Federer is 34 and well past his prime and it shows when he plays a 29/30 year old tank like Stan the Man. Yeah Fed will still whoop on green, undeveloped players like we saw him do to Raonic a while back, but look at what happens to him when he plays a prime world #1 Djoko.
Nadal SHOULD be in his prime at his age, but his prime was actually in his early 20's and he's been playing so much tennis that he's accumulated a lot of injuries and put too many miles on his body. Additionally, his style of play and the amount of top spin he puts on balls has put so much stress on his body.
So now what happens? You end up making Djokovic look like an all time great and you end up with Cilic winning the U.S. Open.
