How Roger Federer Can Win His First Grand Slam of 2011

Roger Federer is one of the most consistent champions of tennis, having won at least one Grand Slam title each year since claiming his first at Wimbledon in 2003. But 2011 has been a dry year for the Swiss, as Federer has failed to win any of the first three Grand Slam events for just the second time in his career, the first time coming in 2008.

The upcoming US Open represents the last chance Federer has to keep this streak alive, but can the all-time great pull out the victory?

Historically, Federer has thrived on the hard courts in Queens, having won an Open Era record of five consecutive US Open titles from 2004 to 2008. His deceptive serving, fast reactions, and great control translate perfectly to the fast-playing surface.

Will Nadal Reclaim the No. 1 Ranking from Djokovic in 2011?

World No. 2 Rafael Nadal has an uphill battle to climb if he wants to regain the No. 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic by the end of the year.

The ATP rankings system is complex, but as we take a closer look at the numbers, we see that a lot of things have to go right for the Spaniard if he wishes to reclaim the No. 1 ranking again in 2011.
