    Federer cried in 2009 because he wasn't sure whether he'd ever break Sampras' record and he'd just lost a five set match to his biggest rival, the same guy who had beaten him at Wimbledon, taken his number one ranking and was the biggest obstacle to him achieving the tennis history he so...

    What reason would Djokovic have to cry? It's not like he's never won a major before, he's not going to lose his number one ranking or fail to make a piece of history. I don't see the comparison with what either Federer or Murray were going through or Roddick for that matter when he lost in '09...

    I don't think he would do it. I saw it brought up in a couple of places and was wondering if it was possible. After the Olympics he has a bunch of points to defend.

    I think he would have needed to have fulfilled his commitment to 500 events in order for 250 events to count towards his ranking. He skipped two 500 events last year, so I don't know that a 250 event would count. Checking the rankings site, it seems this season the 12 week entry deadline was...

    I checked the rulebook and he would have to commit to Hamburg 12 weeks before the first Monday of the tournament for it to replace the lowest of his 4 best World Tour 500 results. So technically it's not possible.

    Does anybody know if it would be technically possible for Djokovic to enter a small ATP tour event between now and the Olympics and reclaim his No.1 ranking? I know he'd be unlikely to ever do it, but is it possible?

    It's not as though Federer won Wimbledon and suddenly he's No.1. He's been building to this ever since Djokovic beat him at the US Open. He's accumulated the most points on tour since then while Djokovic has consistently failed to defend his points from last year. How is that farcical? Djokovic...

    Great to see Federer serve like that.

    Great result. Is it just me or is grass Federer's worst surface these days?

    Djokovic experiencing what it's like to be Federer in a French Open final.

    Even if he was #2 he could've got Nadal on his side of the draw. Federer will need to catch a break to win another Slam and so long as he's playing himself into contention he has a chance. With Federer, he's really looking for one more. Nadal and Djokovic are chasing multiple Slams. Quite the...

    Eh, he made it to the semis and is the third best player in the world. He should've lost in the quarters and would have lost in the final so I wasn't expecting too much. Djokovic/Nadal is a fresher match-up as a French Open final, though I don't rate Djokovic's chances. The continual 1 vs. 3...

    I realise he's a different style of player, but Federer's ability to adapt to the Madrid surface and win says a lot about his tennis ability. Nadal and Djokovic will no doubt bounce back in Rome but not impressed. I actually thought Berdych had a real opportunity to beat Federer in the final and...

    Lots of rumours flying around that Djokovic tanked that match.

    Quick, change RG to a blue court. Flag that, let's have multiple coloured clay courts. Seriously though, did not see that coming. Neither did Nadal evidently.

    Why don't they just change the clay court season to the Nadal court season? So boring.

    I dunno about that. It was only his third loss to Roddick and the first time Roddick had won a set off him since Wimbledon 2009.

    It was a pretty entertaining game. It all boiled down to Federer not being able to break Roddick at 0-40 in the second game of the third set. After that, Roddick hit some booming forehands to break Federer in the next game. Federer's body language was poor after that. He was angry over some...
