Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Rafael Nadal of Spain officially moved into the No. 1 position on Monday with the release of the latest rankings of the Association of Tennis Professionals. Nadal has 6,700 points, ahead of Roger Federer at 5,930. Federer had held the top spot since early in February 2004, a record 237 consecutive weeks.

J_RFC87 761 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wonder if he will beat that 237 week record. Time is certainly in his favour Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 No chance, he's finished. He can't cope with Rafa's brillance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I do think Federer will regain top spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaD CoW 3 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think Federer is still a good player and it still remains to be seen whether he'll come back or he has got his mind on other projects! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue1872 2 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Over 4 years as world number 1. Bloody amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,801 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 No chance, he's finished. He can't cope with Rafa's brillance! Federer is only 27. He'll be back IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I don't think he has the heart anymore. He wanted the Olympics more than anything and he failed at the 1st hurdle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a similar situation to Bjorn Borg but I think Federer's different though. He still got a gold medals in the doubles though and he looked delighted. I predict that he will win the US Open.

Muff 245 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 I can't see past Rafa for the US. I think Federer will crash out early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Judging by hard court form then Nadal, Djokovic and even Murray are the form players going into the US Open(which starts next Monday). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
