...defense," notes Jim Courier, a former top-ranked player in the world. "What would be winners against most players aren't, and that can frustrate Roger." Nadal, no. 3 ranked Novak Djokovic of Serbia, and Argentine Guillermo Canas, who have all recently beaten Federer, can catch up to his trickiest shots. Canas has ousted Federer twice on hardcourt, the surface on which the U.S. Open is played. "My strength is the way I defend the point," says Canas. "Guys feel a little more uncomfortable if they have to hit an extra ball." Even those barely human guys, like Federer...

While "Inside Man" treads familiar ground, it does so with a deft, fun touch that makes it feel fresher than the average cops-and-robbers soirée. Perhaps its trickiest feat is balancing two distinct storylines: a cop movie (the police are the good guys and the drama is behind the barricades) and a heist movie (the robbers are the good guys and the fun is in seeing them pull off their convoluted plot). It is hard to cheer for both sides at once, but the movie makes it possible (no telling who wins in the end, though...
