Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal Duel, Once Again, for Supremacy

WIMBLEDON, England — Three Grand Slam tournaments down, one to go, and the only men who have won major singles titles are Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

“2005?” Federer ventured, suppressing a giggle, in a Tennis Channel interview on Sunday night.

This continues to be a time-warp season, at least in the men’s game, one where you could have skipped a decade of tennis to build a business, tuned back in and felt thoroughly up to speed except for wondering what those four young children were doing in the front row of Federer’s box at Wimbledon on Sunday.
