Murray might harness the power of the Lendl effect though. It might also require Federror to turn up (as was previously mentioned).

Eh, Federer getting back to #1 doesn't impress me as much as it should, because all he did was clean up a bunch of lesser tournaments for more points. I'm not saying he's farming for ranking points, but that's the system and in this case I don't think it will be indicative of the actual tennis landscape.

That's just not true.

Ranking points for majors and Masters 1000 series (of which he won two) are significantly more than the "lesser" tournaments which keep people from doing what you're suggesting. At least in the top spots.

And Murray/Djokovic were IN one of the two 500's he won (he beat Murray in the final).

Plus he's been in the semis or better of the last four Grand Slams sooo...he hasn't won a slam in the last year but he's been consistently great and he deserves every single bit of that number one ranking.

Which pains me to say since Nadal will be #4 soon but it's almost not even arguable, especially since he beat Djokovic to get there.

Well he's 1-1 vs Nadal this year (had to beat him to win Indian Wells) and 2-1 vs Djokovic (1-1 in slams) so its not like he did a Davydenko and got all his points in the post US Open window.

Although I see what you mean - Djokovic and Nadal have been in better overall form whereas Federer has been a lot more vulnerable. But I guess if you keep putting yourself in these type of positions something will go your way eventually.

This could very well be redundant come Sunday. Murray's new attitude could be the difference. At least if he wins then it will be good for men's tennis in general.

Then Delpo and Soderling hit top form again. Suddenly we have a solid top 10.

One of the big stories of the past tennis year is how great and consistent Federer has been. Moreso than Nadal, and Djokovic is just struggling to hang on to the incredible number of points he racked up in 2011.

I'm not sure if I want to hug Aga or shout at her. Need more energy in a Slam final.

Serena was down break point and smashed in a huge first serve. Only it was called out. It was about three inches inside the service line. Blatant Radwanska bias from the line judge. Radwanska's expression was great.

Radwanska learned the Squat Shot! It's super effective against Serena Williams' deep return!

I'm trying to wrap my head around how you would hit while doing a squat.

This has turned out to be one of the better slams in recent years. Although Djokovic lost, Federer can extend his lead over Nadull making sure he never comes close.

Wow, Marray/Nielsen have won the Men's Doubles in five sets. They've gone from playing challengers and needing a wildcard to get in to knocking out the Bryans and Lindstedt/Tecau back to back to become Wimbledon champions.

I made sure that some people I knew got me a shirt and hat when they went to Switzerland a few years ago. Its says Fifteen on the back - blame Roger for that.

I think I have posted this before:
