I gotta run...but question - Anybody else think Nadal will pull out of Basel to be give Paris 100%? Cuz...I don't think he'll play Basel now. Roger really can't can't him in the point race, but I think he probably needs time to regroup

 

[Front242]

yeah quite possible

 

[Federberg]

when does Basel start?

 

[Front242]

Basel is the closest surface to the WTF though

 

[DarthFed]

I think he plays Basel and maybe pulls out of Paris. He still has #1 pretty locked up

 

[britbox]

Fed is playing Basel right?

 

[Federberg]

tbh I actually want Rafa to get year-end no 1

 

[DarthFed]

Badel strts a week from tomorrow FB

 

[Federberg]

a player of his stature should have more

 

[Federberg]

don't give a flying fk about yearend no 1

 

[Federberg]

thanks DF

 

[DarthFed]

This would be 4 years ending #1 for Rafa, same as Nole. Fed at 5 so I'd say that's plenty enough for Rafa

 

[Federberg]

yup

 

[DarthFed]

I think year end #1 at 36 would've been absolutely ridiculous. But what an incredible year regardless

 

[Busted]

Basel's the closest surface to the WTF? Don't matter - Nadal has never won the WTF in what - 10 tries? If he wins this year I'll manage to find something nice to say about him... LOL!

 

[Front242]

just win the WTF, he can have the number 1

 

[Federberg]

agreed Front!

 

[DarthFed]

Yeah YEC would be great. More separation between him and Djoker there

 

[Federberg]

WTF and Basel and I'll be a happy bunny

OK guys I'm going to merge this into the main thread as I have to shoot off shortly.
