Well that doesn't really explain anything. He couldn't have been injured more than say Ferrero or Henman or Hass, yet compare their rankings at the end of the year.ktwtennis said:He was injured often last year whenever he got momentum going, so we'll se what this year brings...
I agree with you Diss, he seriously lacks consistency. Even in same tournament, he can serve up a storm in one match and totally off in the next and his serve is his best weapon. Once his serve is off, he doesn't have other weapons to take his opponent out or staying in the match. When someone rely on his serve that much, he can't be on and off in his serve like turning a switch. If he can be consistent with his serve, he has a very good chance to stay in top 20.Dissident said:Experimentee...
Take an example:
Johansson. His run to the Aussie Open title last year wasn´t brilliant?? And, unlikely Ken Doll on that Wimbledon, he DIDN´T lose to anyone. Even so, he finished the year with a not better than regular ranking.
Why? CONSISTENCY! You need to do that on a regular basis. Hewitt led the rankings for all the year because of that. He had some moments of briliance, but even when he didn´t, he was usually in semifinals, or at least quarters.
KD can go well untill he starts facing big names, and sometimes neither that is necessary. (ie Doha)
