Federer won the French Open without having to face the Spaniard, who suffered a shock defeat in the fourth round. And when he returns to Wimbledon's grass, his favorite surface, on June 22, he'll face memories of last year's epic loss to Nadal in a final many consider the greatest match ever played.

With Brown still at the helm, the Tories would romp home 74 seats to the good. More evidence of that nature - or defeat in either of the two tricky by-elections Labour faces in the coming months, following the resignation of a pair of its own MPs - could yet prompt dissenters to push for a new leader in the fall.
