Federer's capabilities were first questioned after his loss in the finals of Australian Open 09 when he lost to arch nemesis Rafael Nadal in five tough sets. His emotional meltdown in front of millions left the tennis world wondering whether he is capable of winning big matches at grand stages or not.
