Roger's Reign Ends at Rogers Cup

Roger Federer's dominance of men's tennis came to an end today in Montreal, as Novak Djokovic defeated the former world number one in three sets. Though Federer retains his world number one ranking, his days of dominating the tour looked over, as Djokovic hit winner after winner and seemed to be battling his own nerves more than Federer.
It is fitting that Djokovic is the new world number one, though that will happen months from now after he wins a few Grand Slams, since he has the best imitation of Maria Sharapova on the men's tour. Plus, he's much more handsome than she is.
But it was his strokes that had Federer scrambling. And rarely has Federer made more just plain stupid errors on the court than he did in the third-set tiebreak, including his decision to challenge two balls of his that were clearly out--just the kind of silly move to calm Novak's nerves down.
Now that Nadal has Federer's number on clay and Novak has his number on hard courts, Federer may only have one surface left to dominate--grass. Perhaps he and Venus will be winning that little tournament known as Wimbledon for years and years to come. But his days of being ranked number one are clearly numbered.
