you may be right lady TT. ferru does have a bit of an issue at slams when he faces top flight players at the business end. his best showing was obviously facing Rafa in 2013 in the final at RG.

we have to see how the European clay season unfolds. Rafa has to do some damage there in order to go into RG with confidence and momentum.

and lets see if Ferru can deal with the top players on the European red clay.

I guess we'll have to watch and see. I think Berdych is making great strides. I hope he continues to do well. I hope Andy gets back to his best. I don't know what's going on with Kei, something seems off with him. Ferrer, 3 titles. That's great. He just needs to have more belief. Right now I'm not seeing that much. I guess I am too preoccupied with Rafa and what's goin on with him.

Lady TT, I agree that Berdych appears to look better than he had.  Maybe it is a fresh outlook and work with his new coach Dani (formerly on team Murray).
Let's see how consistent he stays.   I think it wouldn't hurt him to lose some mass.  He looks a bit too bulky to me.  It could improve his quickness/movement around the court, which is what I see holding him back against the top guys.

I think Kei may be feeling the pressure of expectations from his country and ranking.  He might be one of those players who does better ranked higher, feeling less pressure, nothing to lose, that sort of thing.

Respectfully,
