Sometimes, monumental losses prove not how far apart the talents of the winner and the runner-up were, but how agonizingly close. The 2008 Wimbledon final between Federer and Nadal proved just that. On any other day, losing a match by five points (204 of Federer’s to 209 of Nadal’s) would not have turned out to be so colossal. But it did. Such was the game and the rivalry. For most of...

When No. 3 Roger Federer lost to J. W. Tsonga in the Wimbledon quarters this year, a friend of mine texted me, saying, “The soul is out of Wimbledon.” Once the reigning supremo Novak Djokovic of Serbia kissed the US Open trophy, I rephrased her message and said: “The soul is out of Slams.” And not just 2011—even 2010 was not Roger’s year, by his own standards.
