Yeah Nadal and Federer wont get back to number 1. Just hope Rafa can win a few more French Opens and deny Djokovic of winning one

I'd love to see someone do the grand slam. It's such a hard thing to do these days and I want to see someone (anyone) do it. Djokovic is currently the bet chance. Especially if Fed and Rafa slide back a little more.

Federer will always be more potent at the US and Wimbledon because of the speed of the courts, while Nadal is clearly slowing down from the speed and energy levels that Federer really struggled with. I think in a final Federer would have taken care of business.

Djokovic hurt his back during the match and apart from the usual niggles a top level athlete endures he'll no doubt be exhausted. I wonder whether he might take a few weeks off throughout the remainder of the season and just play the bigger tournaments. Last thing you want is to be wiped out physically and mentally after a huge year or it will all be wasted going into next year. From here I think Nadal and Federer will be unable to reclaim #1 and it will be Djokovic for 2-3 years before Murray starts to challenge for it.

The level today was nothing we've seen before. Federer wouldn't have beaten either today.

Pocket change for her isn't it :roll:

Given her priors should have been either banned from the next Grand Slam (Australian Open) or next years US Open.
