I wonder if Djokovic/Federer will ever have an injury (apart from the back injuries which they play with).
They are indestructible.

They are so much tougher than Nadal and Murray; no extended absences! :clap :angel: :dodgy:

Working on his flexibility rather than building up muscle mass paid off for Nole in his career, for sure.
He is not in weight lifting after all

Novak like everyone works a lot with his muscle too, you just have to see him when he takes off his top every time he wins, in these last years his muscles mass have building up a lot

He's still as skinny as Roger; no real obvious muscle mass like Murray and Nadal! That's made the difference it seems when it comes to consistently getting their butts out there and avoiding long stretches missed on tour! The worst that happened to Roger was a mild case of MONO IIRC! :angel: :dodgy:

The natural body's structure/frame of Federer and Novak is completely different, I'd better compare Monfils with Novak ( the rubber men) in many different ways but this last one is lucky that he doesn't get more injuries. Federer is more slim but with a lot of exercise
Mono? I rather to pass that page......:-/

Murray clinched #4 spot.:clap

vamos..sneaking in there by 10 rank points just in time for indian wells. :devil

We shall see how long Andy Murray will hang on that critical #4 spot. He has to outperform Kei in IW to stay ahead of him. If they will manage similar result, Kei will pass him again, because he defends less than Andy in IW.

They are scheduled to meet head on in the QF and the winner will take #4 seed for Miami
(assuming both reach there).

According to the live rankings, Tomic will now break into the Top 30.

And with Nishikori losing to Lopez in the Round of 16, the Top 4 rankings will be held by the Big Four at least for another week.

Meanwhile, Kokkinakis move up 18 spots and will now be rank 106 one behind his fellow countryman Lleyton Hewitt. Not bad for the 18 year old Australian.

Wow, Australian men haven't been this tough since the days of Rafter and Philippousis! The women have been a lost cause for decades IMO! :cover :nono uzzled :angel:

Rafael will be relegated to no 3 if Andy wins 1 more match

:lolz: :clap :laydownlaughing Oh it matters a lot! It matters to Rafa and his acolytes; and I find it hilarious! I wonder will the clay season say him from going back to #5 like a couple years ago? :nono :cover

Career highs this week:

21. Pablo Cuevas 29y
32. Adrian Mannarino 26y
59. Borna Coric 18y
70. Joao Souza 26y
97. James Duckworth 23y

 

[nehmeth]

Week 139 as #1 for Novak. He will soon be #6 on the list of most weeks as number one. From there it is quite a climb to reach the other guys.

Back to topic, the Joao Souza/Joao Sousa continues to throw me. I saw Joao Souza at #70 and said to myself, "He has to be ranked higher than that." At #53, Joao Sousa is.

:nono

It's hilarious that you are so "wonder", don't be, Rafa is still #3 and wait....
And talking about 2013, you should remember what he did that year, from #5 (due to his injury benn 7 months off) to #1. And if you don't know about it you should read more and you would learn more too :blush: :nono uzzled

Murray's getting a good lead on Nadal. and Nishikori will pass Nadal with one more win.

 

[sid]

Nadal come clay,will amass many points i'm sure,it would be a shock if he never did on his best surface.
