Roger Federer keeps on saying that he is still on his comeback trail, but his results and his amazing performance doesn’t reflect that.
Roger has just demolished his nemesis Rafael Nadal in Indian Wells, and this means that the Maestro will definitely stay at the top of the year to date rankings after this week.
