Rafa's 2016 campaign has featured final round appearances in two of the four tournaments he has played. But the fact remains that he has lost twice this season and three consecutive times altogether against a formidable rival who seems to have finally figured out at 35 what is required to topple the commendable Spaniard. I hope I am wrong, but Nadal at 30 may have moved permanently past his prime. Conversely, regardless of what happens at Indian Wells from this juncture on, Roger Federer is revitalized. His enduring commitment to attaining more high honors is not only extraordinary but also evidence that Federer is a unique figure in the history of a game he cherishes.
