Not really, Nadal came back to beat Novak in two straight finals this year, including the French. In fact, he came close to beating Novak in Aus Open in the longest final ever. As he admitted, the demons were in his mind and he has put them to rest. Now he needs a big rest unfortunately! Rafa is definitely a challenge for the other 3. Waiting for him to return so that we can enjoy some great tennis between the Top 4 once again.

Just coz i dont like Djokovic much, i am lallu ???? That speaks volumes of your reasoning, and needless to say that you are talking not only like a lallu, but a lallu panju...Idiot is there a rule that you have to like all players on tour ???? there are people who dont like Federer or Nadal, Sachin, Dhoni, so what??? there's something called personal choice, you dont have to like everyone

Mr.Pappu maybe u don't like Djokovic, but u should know one thing, djokovic is a gentleman who applauds his opponent on winning any points against him and a person who even calls for videos challenges for his opponent. U should closely watch his attitude when u see him play next time.

Mr.Nibin, did you not realize that i was actually praising Djokovic ???? Personally, I dont like him much, so ?? What's the big deal ??? you dont have to like each and every player on tour...I appreciate his attitude on court when he loses or when the opponent plays well, but i am not his fan...It's a personal choice, you cannot force someone to like somebody right ??? Me not liking him doesnt make him any less great, he's a great player with/without me liking him...

Yeah sure, but they have a chance only in doubles or mixed doubles...As far as singles is concerned, Bopanna will surprise himself and the nation if he makes even to the main draw of a Grand Slam let alone winning it...As far as SomD is concerned, he's a player in the Murray mould, but lacks a good serve, penetrating ground strokes like Murray, and more importantly fitness...so he will do well if he makes it to the 3rd round or so....it will take years before India can produce a genuine singles Grand Slam contender
Federer has already predicted in Wimbledone victory ceremony that Murray is capable of winning Grand Slam not restricted to one but more. It is true now Murray has already won Olympic & US Open
By one champion on another champion .Look forward to many more great Tennis battles with Nadal returning early .Great era for men's tennis - four champions any one can win plus a few others on their day can defeat any of these four.
