But when fed was really on top of his game...

He beat rafa 3-1 and 3-2 at wimbledon, and had a victory or 2 on clay (roland grarros apart) And rafa isn't owning him really.. the last 2 finals have been 5 sets and the performance nadal had to pull out to beat him at wimbledon will be almost impossible to repeat.
