The saddest day in tennis history.

Nice to see David at #4 and good to see Nadal falling, even if it's due to injury.

This blogger makes a great point:

Always the bridesmaid: Man I am pretty sick of David Ferrer – he really sucks. Look, he might be an incredibly hard-working, honorable, sweet-as-hell guy who extracts optimum value from his limited skills but it doesn’t change the fact that he is the equivalent of a “pass-go-collect-200” for whichever top seed is lucky enough to be on his side of the draw. He has zero self-belief against the big guns and, even if he did, he doesn’t have the tools to act on it. Some find his consistency impressive. Personally, I’m tired of him showing up in semi after semi just so he can usher his opponent to the final. I’d much rather see a Del Potro, Tsonga, Berdych, or even a Tipsarevic up there. On their good days, they are much more capable of causing a stir than that nimrod Ferrer. (...) There is also a very talented supporting cast keeping them honest and who are more than capable of shaking them up in the latter stages of Slams if David Ferrer will just piss off.

A lot of his points about the Djokovic vs Murray rivalry are disputable at best (although he mostly gets it right), but he's spot on here, echoes the feelings of many perfectly :yeah:

Del Potro and Tsonga yes.

Berdych can cause an upset against Federer and Murray but he bends over against Djokovic and Nadal worse than Ferrer.

Tipsarevic isn't a bigger threat than Ferrer. I'm sure Ferrer has more victories over the top 4 than Tipsarevic.

i'm expecting an even spread - some weeks Fed, some weeks Nole, some weeks Muzza

but if Fed and Muzza keep drawing him and never Nole i will seriously go nuts and be finished with tennis, i mean it this time

i'm already close to the end with the game right now.

the new raquet the vulturer will use to gain easy points in the SA season, go for it David!

If not for the top 4 Ferrer would be number one and win 1 or two slams a year. He's better than everyone else on slow hard courts and clay.

It just goes to show that there is a HUUUUUUUUUUGE gap between the top 4 and everyone else.

Yup. In terms of popularity he's surely up there with the non-Federer members of the top 4 (with less haters) and that's without even winning anything big ever since his wrist surgery.
