you talked me into it hahahahaha..................and George Bush is a moron

Nadal will not be n°1 during 2013 season. It gives you a clue.

[romismak]

I think his chances for No.1 for whole year consecutive are bigger than year ago, i mean after 2011 2/3 of the year he had fantastic and was only defending points.

In 2013 i can see him easily hold in 1st half of the year, even if he will be worse than this year, i think he should be consistent enough to make SF,F at most events. Nadal has virtually no chance to get No.1 in 1st half, because he is just defending and is far far behind total points wise.

Roger had great 1st half of 2012 and honestly he did it, was No.1 again, but i don´t see him again to make it

I would say biggest competition for Nole could be Murray, but at the moment he is also ,,far to behind,, point wise and we all know his clay season won´t be nothing special, so his chance can come in 2nd half of the year if he can win more big HC titles than Nole

My bet for whole 2013 is Nole to be No.1 for every week in the calendar year
2nd most likely scenario is Murray having great year and be No.1 at some point in 2nd half of the year
3rd scenario would be Nadal playing out of his mind defending in 1st half everything-or a lot and than have good 2nd part of the year

But 1st scenario is most likely if Nole will be healthy - i mean Murray always will be limited on clay - so will loose some points there and well Nadal is not better on HC than Andy or Nole- Roger won´t go for another No.1 attack for sure

Kill something, you?You're as harmless as a puppy.Everybody understands that you're heavily confused/troubled kid.No1e is best player in the world, #1 and has more charisma and personality than Ballerina and Mandy combined.

the roaring is incredibly annoying, you're totally right! thanks for pointing that out Nick, come here and give me a hug

but no, I seriously doubt he will defend Australia given signs have indicated he is losing form rather than gaining it. or if anything flat lining, like a heart rate on a corpse.

roland garros first title if in May he wins Roland Garros I'll, I'll..... I'm not even going to make a bet because he won't.

When he retires.

I think maybe around US Open he'll be able to wrangle the top ranking back into his arms, of course it's hard to predict this far in advance... if he at all does it, I don't think it'll be until that late

I'm actually going to US Open next summer so it would be great if that was a defining tournament in his moving back up the rankings
you may be right though, I guess it would be possible around Wimbledon if the other top 4 performed particularly poorly in the early stages of the year, which is a lot to hope for

It's annoying to the hatas like you which makes it even sweeter.I don't give a damn about your doubts, AO is No1e's kingdom and he'll add another jewel to the crown.And yes, he'll win his first RG title in 2013.Rafa will be far from his best and if it wasn't for that god damn rain No1e would've won it this year already.

OK, like seriously, what signs? he just won convincingly last 3 tournaments he played, including WTF where he managed to def. Fed, Murray, DP. so again, his form, you posting form is silly and what you just wrote doesn't make any sense .

[pepita1964]

Novak somehow was protected at US Open, Toronto. He played Isner just once and lost if he plays Raonic and some good players more often he can be upset sometimes. The draw in Paris was really good this year

[Federer in 2]

The sooner the better.
