If Federer wins, he's number 1, regardless of whether djok makes the semis.
Djokovic, Novak (SRB) 12,280
2 Nadal, Rafael (ESP) 10,060
3 Federer, Roger (SUI) 9,435

Fed defending like, 180 points or something, djok defending 2000 and nadal defending 1200.

Edit-Fed defending 360 in fact. But djok losing the semi(as required for fed to win) would mean he drops from 2000 to 720, and Fed gains 1640. Would be extremely close though.

No this isn't right- if Federer wins Wimbledon he returns to number 1, no matter how well Djokovic does.

He's only defending 180? Huh. I thought it was more than that. My bad.

If Federer wins Wimbledon he goes up to 11075 points. In this scenario the best case is for Djokovic would be to make the semis so he would go down to 11000 points and be number 2.

Yeah, I thought Federer was defending more, my bad.

Something I just noticed- Nadal's average time between points in the match was 26 seconds. I'm not blaming Nadal but the maximum allowed is 20 seconds so it's the umpire's responsibility to step in and stop him from slowing down play. What do others think of this?

I think they definitely need to have more time between the french open and Wimbledon!

Like anyone gives a **** about rankings lol...

I agree. I would prefer an extra two weeks between them and in an ideal world there would a Masters Series on grass. I can only ever see there being one extra week though.

And I was randomly googling today about the relationship between the top 4 guys earlier and found this:

Federer himself does though he doesn't always overtly state it. He has said it this year though.

I kinda feel sorry for him after reading the last 2/3...even though I still think Fed is the GOAT, these comments dont portray him in the best of lights :/

Didn't see too many surprising things in your link, its hardly the feud you or other journalists seem to think it is.

And Federer is right, Murrary's game (except for the very recent 2 wimbledon matches) is a very pusher type player, cant put the ball away. Murray's game is not the most attractive.

What are Federer-Djokovic relations actually like? I'm sure I remember their semi final match at Roland Garros being hyped up due to tensions between the two, but nothing seemed to materialise.
Nice find! Very interesting stuff

Ha. Learn to infer things from what others say and not what you think or would like them to have said.

I never stated that I thought there was a 'feud' or anything of the sort, merely that such comments from Federer cast him in a light perhaps different from such which arguably earned him those Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Awards - which is not a player of the year award as many believe it to be.

Oh, and regardless of what you think, tennis, is not about the 'attractiveness' of style if you mean flair...we see plenty from flashy players like federer. Murray wins points. Which he is no.4. He's tweaking his game, as he should, because in tennis you're always learning. Sure he's not quite of the same strata as the top 3 but he sure as hell is the closest.

The point of the link was to show how even though Murray has beaten Fed before, the guy can't get off his high horse and acknowledge him.
Oh and before you start spouting...keep in mind that i'm a big Federer fan myself.

I don't see how selectively quoting the negative things Federer has said about Murray proves that Federer can't acknowledge him... You don't think Federer's ever said a positive thing about Murray?

No, I know he has in more reent times, it's just reading comments such as those dented tainted my idolisation of him.

Is there a reason they can't move games on to centre once games on centre have finished? I got fed up of all the replays when there is a perfectly good court availible
