| Canas has lost his magic ... |
... he looked just an average player today - nothing at all to offer except running around and not making mistakes. Most of the points he won were unforced errors from Federer. He must have played better than this last year v Federer, or else Federer was even worse than I remember ... |

In which case Federer is vastly improved and should win the FO with ease right ? Honestly, I have never known anyone to blow in the wind as easily as you. |

For what I remember, that's exactly what Caņas was doing last year: defending with a very good depth in his balls (coming really near Federer's baseline). I found it was funny to see such a ugly game style. |

I found it was funny to see such a ugly game style. I just watched the first that of last year Miami's match. There were many unforced errors from Federer, and a really amazing defense from Caņas (but in a different style than Nadal, with a very short swing). |

At that time I considered him better defensively than Nadal or Federer. Now he's gone downhill though. Perhaps he was juiced after his long break from the game. |

It would hardly be a suprise, I suspected it then. Having said that, it's just as likely that Federer is juiced now, or then, or both times. |

Last year, he was coming off his drug suspension and probably still had some residual benefits. No fedfan here, but would not count those two losses against Roger. |
