Petrova, Nadal over Mauresmo, Federer
March 5, 2006Nadia Petrova denied Amelie Mauresmo a number 1 spot. She will have to wait another week. I wasn’t expecting it. Good on you Petrova.
Meanwhile Rafael Nadal defeats Federer one more time. He now has a 3-1 record versus Federer. Perfect come back for Nadal. First defeat for Federer in the year and a build up to a possible long term rivalry for men’s tennis. The clay season with the climax at Roland Garros will certainly be engrossing.

nadal is a great propect for tennis in a era where federer is dominating completely.but he lacks a good all round play like federer .but still he leads 3-1 great

He has definitely performed better than guys like Hewitt and Roddick against whom Federer has been dominant. At least there is a chance of a big rivalry here.
