Didn't make a research but I don't think that any World No.5 has ever played back to back tournaments prior to the Australian Open.

Definetely not a reasonable thing to do before a two-week Grand Slam. Especially if you're No.5 in the world.

Anyway, we don't call him Vulture for no reason though.

Bad idea ! He ,s not going to make a serious impact at the business end in Australia anyway , so he might as well fluff his chances up even more ! I would say thought there,s nothing to stop him withdrawing from Auckland if he wins Doha !

nadal has 6690 points while Ferrer has 6505 points.The difference is 185 points.

Since Ferrer can't add any more 250 tournament results to his countable results in the beginning of the year and andal is only defending 90 points from doha Ferrer can't overtake nadal for the 4th place.

Are my calculations correct?

As for the AO nadal is defending final points and ferrer quarters points. So ferrer has reaching the quarters and nadal losing in the semis or before would be enough for ferrer to rise to #4?

some tennis players simply need to play lots of pro tennis to keep their form on track. Pics is one of those players. I don't think this is about money or points. Ferrer is not as rich as Fed, Nole or Rafa, but he's made tons of money playing tennis, just checked it out, he's made over $17 millions.
