I loved Roger's recent aggression. He has really emphasized coming to the net a lot and that will put pressure on the relentless baseliners.

I'm finding the tactics employed by the top players right now to be a really compelling part of the game.

Murray played back off the baseline and really hurt Nadal's serve advantage. Great strategy.

Fed simply won at the net over Murray. You can't play baseline all day, Andy.

When Blake beat Federer in Beijing, I felt he really picked on the backhand. Roger has a good backhand but when James hit the deep forehands to Roger's backhand side, he came to the net and simply didn't believe Fed's backhand could pass him. He was right.

Right now, specific strategy is a big factor. This is very exciting.

The exception to this is Nadal on clay. I believe that currently no one can beat him on clay regardless of strategy. He can even have an off day and still has enough to beat anyone. It's how I used to feel about Roger on grass.

Of course, Roger ain't dead but he can't win on his bad days anymore. Later in his career, Pete focused on the Grand Slams and didn't need to be #1. Roger will win more slams and as much as I'd love to be wrong, he may never be #1 again. I can live with that if he wins 15 slams.
