It looks like Djokovic only has to worry about Federer now.

How so? The world 100 beat Nadal, anything can happen.

Indeed, anything can happen. However, my biggest worry for Djokovic was having to face Nadal and he clearly won't have to do that anymore.  Federer, Tsonga, Murray, and a few others might pose a challenge to him, but I'm not too worried any more.

Is Roddick still in? I always like to root for him on account of him being the only American tennis player I know.

Yep :) He won his second round match angainst Bjorn Phau. Next up for him is David Ferrer.

I believe Nadal was photographed only very recently on a yacht with two beautiful models. Should have possibly been putting more time into training than pleasure.

John Isner and Mardy Fish are ranked 10th and 12th respectively. Andy Roddick is ranked 25th, for comparison. All three are American so you now have two other players to root for.

Wimbledon e Tsurete Itte

Wow, I remember Roddick being "the next big thing". He was only ranked one for a short while wasn't he?

For the Nadal always beating Federer part. Yes Nadal won 18 times against only 10 for Federer. BUT, out of these 28 faceoffs, they faced eachother 14 times (half of their faceoffs) on Clay. NadaL is arguably the best of all time on Clay and he is winning against Federer on that surface 12 to 2. On hard court and Grass howerver, its 2-1 Federer, only facing eachother on that surface 3 times at Wimbledon, and on Hard it's 6-5 again for Federer. Bottom line, on Clay its 12-2 for Nadal, but on every other surfaces its 8-6 for Federer. The only  reason ppl think Nadal is always beating Federer is only because Fed had the tough luck of facing him 50% of the time on Clay meaning a almost instant win for Nadal. The reason they always face eachother on Clay is probably because they always face eachother in the Final and Nadal doesnt reach the final that often on grass and hard.

On the Djokovic part, I know it's been a while since we last associated the #1 rank to anyone other than Federer and Nadal so it may be hard to understand but the simple fact of becoming #1 doesnt at all mean that you should be compared to the likes of Sampras, Federer and Nadal. Djokovic had one incredible year, he is having quite a good year now and may have a good year next year. But that alone means nothing compared to what these 3 players accomplished. He might even lose his #1 rank to Federer after Wimbledon. He has no records compared to the other 3, all his records are ''minor'' here are some stats, from the 4 of them.
