Nadal's gonna be world #1 again!

[Asmodeus]

Nadal will probably get back to#1

At some point, maybe briefly, Murray might snatch the #1 slot.

But over the next 3 years, Djokovic will likely spend more time at #1 than anyone else.

Next three years? So you think he'll have a shot at 29 going on 30? Though I think this may be the case over the next year after that it will get much harder for him since, historically, there are few players to reach #1 at 29+ years of age. History is not on his side, especially if he is only winning one slam a year.

Asmo, you want 14?

What about General Clay Death? I think we should be told!

 

[Asmodeus]

I have to say that Nadal, of all people, looks to be playing some of the best hard court tennis of the field.

Federer = Big question on his form, though he did look pretty good last night.
Novak = He's in bad form.
Murray = I'm not sure what's up with him.
Del Poo Poo = Perhaps he can derail the Nadal train?

 

[Asmodeus]

Asmo, you want 14?

What about General Clay Death? I think we should be told!

Sure. If he keeps it up through the USO I can't see why he would not reach #1 again. I don't think he'll keep it for long but now I think he can actually do it.

I have seen it, I just didn't believe he will be number one because he had a steep mountain to climb :blush:

 

[Kieran]

Oh ye of little faith!

I'm wondering if Cali's name on the list will act as a spur or a jinx....

Well, if Nadal becomes number 1 again, we should thank Cali for putting his name on the list:snigger

I said Djokovic will spend more time at @1 over a three year period than anyone else, not Nadal, but I think Rafa will get back to #1 for a while.... probably after the AO where he will pick up a bunch of points.

I always had confidence that Rafa could achieve the number 1 ranking again but not at this pace. However, I didn't anticipate that Djoker would fall back to the pack a bit..
Count me in Mr K

 

[Kieran]

In fact, A-P, it was a two-pronged attack: Rafa got to grips with him, and Novak of course came down from the dizzy heights. I never believed that Nole would sustain it, and I always knew that they'd both find their true level once again.

But it seems Rafa's in a huge hurry, which isn't something I like to see. He never seems to find brakes on the train once she's gathered up momentum.

[ClayDeath]

he is #1 already. at least he is heading in that direction. I have a feeling now that he is going to do it.


according to many and even some top players like nole, he is the playing the best tennis this year.


so if he wins the u.s. open, he, and not the great dunblane warrior, will be the best player on the planet.

The faster the rise, the harder the fall I always say! If Nadal practically kills himself this year, next year will be a disaster; mark my words! He can't seem to have 2 great years in succession! Even Nole has fallen considerably from his 2011, losing to players he shouldn't! It'll happen to Rafa as well; so go ahead and "push, push, push!" He'll have a ton of points to defend, but of course he won't go to those smaller events that helped him early on!

Well that makes more sense than 3 straight years! Rafa's never been able to have 2 or 3 great years in a row, usually falling by the "wayside" for a while after a season like this one! Only time will tell, but I can't imagine him being better off than he would be if a lot younger! That won't make any sense! Players are working him and not just rolling over! :angel:

Agree with britbox.
Nadal is going to get to #1,no?

 

[Front242]

Inevitable really when he's playing this well and has nothing but points to gain. The fact that the other top players are under performing is making it that much easier also.
