Djokovic is definitely going to lose the #1 ranking to Nadal soon.. but he is going to win it back maybe at the end of the FO next year, when Nadal will have a lot of points to defend.
Lets then see Nadal beating Fedex's record of staying at the top for 302 weeks and most consecutive weeks as #1... Nadal's injury prone career has ensured its never going to happen.

Rafa, has not played Australian Open and Lost in R1 Wimbeldon. If he come till SF in any of these Tournaments or atleast QF then no need for him to defend this many Points after FO/Wim. Also he was out of action during 1st quarter of the year and a month after Wim. A well planned and balanced schedule will not affect Rafa Much. Rafa is out during 2009 as well as part of 2011. Due to which Roger was able to regain his No.1 Spot. With all respect Roger is gr8 player. Similarly Rafa Too. Popularity of tennis improved due to Rafa (Mostly because of Rafa-Roger rivalry and Rafa- Djoco rivalry). He brought emotion to the game which makes the game more interesting and exciting. Think !!!

Pusarla Kumar...you are asking Michael to 'think'??Please don't tax his 5 functioning brain cells with such an enormous demand.If he could wipe the drool off his keyboard after he has finished tapping in his pointless comments,he would be doing his parents a great favour.
rafa is a role model to all youngsters. he is down to earth, nver shows any remorse, anger, over joy or sarcastic at his opponents. Coming back fm injury & winning 2 out 3 grand slam is no joke. all those who say fed is the greatest ever has to re-think again as he is nearing to create history which I believe will never be broken in when he is alive.

Nadal has been in great form and its sheer luck that he has been able to get away with games involving Djoko... its not going to last for long and so you continue to make hay while the sun shines.
rafa is a good player no doubt , but he has to play all types of games in tennis & to popular has to accomoded with viewers ....... for which ROGER is a popular player

Rafa has done incredibly well this hard court season by not losing a single match since the start of the year. One can expect that from him on clay courts but his performances on Hard Courts is really surprising

English is for the slaves who does not think that their language is superior. All developed nations gave priority to their languages, not English.

Mr.Prakash, that is the biggest understatement of the century - rafa is a good player. He is one of the greatest to have played this game. Federer is no doubt a legend but so is Nadal. Hats off to Nadal and let's not forget Djokovic who is as smashing as Nadal and Federer.
