After Tsonga lost the 2nd set 0-6, it looked like a comfortable victory for Nadal, but all credit to Tsonga for not giving up and winning the SF match. The loser Nadal, may not win another masters and Djokovic is sure to overtake his record of 27 masters titles in a year's time.
Nadal's days of running around the court is coming to a premature end and its better he retire like Roddick or he will end up like Hewitt. Nadal will not make it to the No. 1 ranking again and will retire stuck on being only 141 weeks as No. 1... even Djokovic has been No.1 for a longer time... But Federer is the greatest tennis player.

Your logic is flawed - on one side, you are saying that Nadal should retire as he will never win a Masters or become #1 ever again. On the other hand, you are praising Federer as the greatest - isn't Federer still playing without winning a Major since 2012 or becoming #1 since 2012?

I'm saying its better for Nadal to retire like Roddick because he will not have the longevity like Federer.... Federer is still ranked in the top 3 whereas Nadal is ranked 7, so its not logical to ask Fed to retire... but Nadal if he continues to play till 32 plus he will end up like Hewitt.... losing a lot of matches and there by spoiling his h2h and career win percentage records.
