This tennis season has proved rather difficult for many of the top male tennis players to achieve consistency. Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin Del Potro and Roger Federer have all struggled to replicate their very best form, but Federer is the standout anomaly in that list.

Roger Federer has an innate ability to produce his best form in the big tournaments, which explains his outstanding record of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals. His losses to Tomas Berdych, Ernests Gulbis, and Alberto Montañés in recent competitions are highly unlikely to be replicated in the French Open later this month, and the fast courts at Roland Garros – and the current ATP Madrid Masters – will aid the resurrection of his form.

Andy Murray will do well to do the same on his weakest surface, but Djokovic has pulled out of Madrid citing breathing difficulties caused by allergies. Del Potro meanwhile is out for the long term with a wrist injury.
