Broken's theory about midcarders must be working if 35yo can go back to top 10.

That might be El Dude's theory, his "lost generation," I think. But yes, Mastoor, you take my point. Obviously, Tommy has a lot of lovely game, but I think some of the younger guys should look at themselves, then at these 30-something guys doing so well, and ask themselves: "Is the problem my game, or my belief?"

El Dude does a tremendous job pulling all those statistical analysis data together, but when it comes to analyzing it, sometimes he forgets that you cannot make always projections based solely on the history. You need to take into consideration paramaters which are changed and one of those is that players stay in the game longer and youngsters do not progress as early as in the past, these are FACTS.

There is the "other Tommy" storming back up through the rankings, Robredo.
Tommy R. was ranked 471 in May 2012, now after 51 weeks is 36 and because is defending nothing, he could be again seeded at RG even with only a decent Madrid and Rome showing.
