Simple topic. Doesn't have to be twenty years. it can be any time in the not so near future. When you look back on 2012 what will you remember the most about?


Mine: Nadal winning the French.

Nalbandian rage kicking
Gonzo retiring
Matchpointovic, Janko's 3rd set vs Ferrer and his year-long stay in the top10, Rosol, Olderer's return to #1 to break the record, the wind, Novak not winning the Olympic gold (and Annie winning it) and the year where many good players retired (Gonzo, Ljubo, Roddick, Ferrero...). Maybe I'll remember Thugbandian's outburst.

Above all else, definitely this. It really was a Kodak moment.

I bet a million pounds none of you will remember that 2012 was the year of blue clay and jerzy janowicz' run in twenty years.

Anyway, Murray annihilating Olderer at the Olympics will be my pick, easy to remember :drool:

Fed unmasking the "Spartan era clownery" by winning wimbledon for a seventh time and getting back his #1 ranking at 31 to break the record and reach 300 weeks. :devil:

Spartan era clownery still stands IMO.

But for real, you guys need to realise that Fed's return to #1 was mostly due to his great results at the end of last year and Wimbledon. If you look at this year only, Fed was really anywhere near the best player in the world 'only' in 2 tournaments - Wimbledon and Cincy.... And even in W he was poor until the SF.
