Nadal can not get past Federer

For the fifth consecutive time, Roger Federer beat his best foe Rafael Nadal (6-4, 6-3) on Sunday in Shanghai. Switzerland was impressive, although it is true that the Spaniard was somewhat diminished ... It is the third Masters 1000 of the season of the world number two.

Rafael Nadal is starting to do a great deal ... If the Spaniard still leads in his confrontations with Roger Federer, and even rather widely (23-15), the Spaniard was beaten for the fifth consecutive time by an impressive Swiss on Sunday Shanghai. In this one year alone, Roger inflicts his best foe on a 4-0 defeat, but he, like him, returned to the top and just won the Beijing tournament.

In this final, the third match against them this year, the "Maestro" was intractable, winning in two ruthless and relentless innings (6-4, 6-3, 1:13). Dominating from A to Z, Federer did not leave the slightest opportunity to believe in the world number one, broken entry. Terribly effective with his service (few points lost, a 4-aces white game in 50 seconds!), A reverse always so wonderful, a constant desire to advance early in the ball so that his opponent never has time to s organize, precision ... Federer was unplayable for this borrowed Nadal!

At 36, he seems to be at the top of his art, at the level he was at the start of the season. This is the 27th Masters 1000 of his career, the third of the current year (94th title). And here is the race for the throne revived!
