    What's wrong?

    Super 14 previews will be up later in the day/early evening, but on my mind at the moment is what is wrong with Roger Federer?

    One of the most dominant sportspersons on the planet looked like rolling through 2007 as he did in 2006 (with the exception of a few clay finals against Nadal). Another Australian Open crown without dropping a set, and then off to the US Hardcourt swing where a couple of losses to Canas did not raise too many eyebrows.

    But his overnight loss to Volandri (who?) certainly will. While Volandri is a reasonable tennis player on clay, perhaps a bit better than his ranking of 53 would suggest, the FedEx should be able to beat him with one arm.

    All we need now is Nadal to pick up an injury and the European clay season will suddenly get interesting.

    Must be the best compliment that can be offered a tennis player is when everyone starts to wonder what's happening to him when he's missed out on a handful of tournaments! (and the best indication of just how dominant Federer's been)
