Paul Annacone also gave some insights into Roger Federer’s 2011 season. The Swiss failed to win a Major that year - the first time such an event had occurred since 2002 - but he played lights-out tennis to register a few sensational victories, including one against Novak Djokovic at the French Open.
Annacone however believes that his then charge could have gone a step further and defeated Rafael Nadal in the final, given how well he had been playing.
