Excellent post bluecollar. Nadal can't catch Roger unless Roger continues to lose. Both have a lot of points to defend. Rafa's best chance to catch Roger will be at the US Open if Roger can play anywhere near his usual performance, he will hold his lead as Rafa HAS to defend maximum points at every tournament between now and the hard court season. I just don't see rafa catching Roger as the hard courts obviously bother his knees and aren't his best surface and are Roger's best surface. Unless Rafa gets some help, I think he will go down in History as the greatest #2 ranked player of all time. He may be younger than Roger, but I feel that Rafa's style of play is so demanding physically and with Djokovic's emergence, that Rafa's body will break down on him by the time Federer is irrelevent and Novak will steal enough hard court points to keep Rafa from reaching #1. Now after Federer loses in the first round at the French and Wimbledon, everyone can say I told you so.
