Murray. Surely has to do better at the US Open this year and Aus Open next year. Wimbledon for him will be a struggle against Nadal and Federer, but RG isnt even an option since he sucks on clay. Will never win that ever.

Holmes: I wouldn't say he sucks on clay, but his level isn't currently good in comparison to others, hence my vote (as stated above) for Del Potro.

Man, Del Potro almost denied fed his 2009 RG title. That semi-final was much better than the final.
Mugray is never getting #1 spot. It would be bad for the sport.
Please elaborate
No slams. It would make real tennis look like WTA.
I don´t know why people think that gulbi will be the new No1 because he played 3 good tourneys.
I bet he will not make it to the round of 16 at the FO.
Oh. Well I think a reasonable assumption is that the next number one will have to win some slams in order to take the spot. Of course this isn't necessarily the case but it seems unlikely that someone could be #1 without a slam. Poor Safina.

And Jankovic. Wozniacki at #2 was another travesty.
Gulbis is very overrated right now. But he hasn't earned a mug status so far, I am willing to give him a couple of years to prove himself.
Well no-one is saying he's going to be number 1 this year.
I think the key things are that they're young (e.g. JMDP) and have proven that they have what it takes (e.g. JMDP).
I think that Fed and Nad will camp that number 1 spot for a few more years to come, though.
None of the Gulbis voters are posting any reasons :lol:.
The only reason I included him is because he's hot right now and I knew it would stir some people up
gulbis was top 100 in the world without even training.
watch his very rapid ascension in the rankings now that he's taken tennis seriously...he will finish top 15 for 2010.
gulbis was top 100 because he had nothing to defend..
ok now he played 3 nice tournaments does this really mean that he´s going to be top 15 this year?
wait for the hardcourt season he will loose against top 15 guys like berdych, Cilic, Gonzalez, Tsonga, Verdasco, Roddick.
And this guy will never take tennis serious..
nice logic there guy. i have nothing to defend either...can i be 100?
he has just started taking tennis seriously and he has been spanking almost everyone on his worst surface.
clearly you don't know that HC is his best surface...
nice logic. He spanks everyone on hist worst surface--> clay
but you don´t know if HC is his best surface.
Ok he said he´s starting to take tennis seriously and that means that he´s going to be the new No1.and he will beat everyone on every surface.
Only thing I can say is all hat and no cattle.
Let´s await his FO result.

have you been living under a rock?
since he said that a few months ago, he's risen 50 places...
Del Potro. The guy was starting to make his move last year, and had shown he was not afraid of going toe to toe with Roger and Rafa, beating them both. He is also a match up problem for both of them as well, as has been seen in his recent encounters.
Beating injured Nadal and Federer serving at sub 50% doesn't make it a "problem match up". We'll see what Delpotro can do once he recovers. Until then, he's a one slam wonder.
He was going to run through Rafa no matter what Rafa he played at the US Open last year. Rafa's forehand does not hurt Del Potro, as much as Del Potro's forehand hurts Rafa.
And when Roger got into baseline rallies with Del Potro, especially after Del Potro woke up, he was punching holes through Roger's defense. If Roger does not serve well, that could happen again.
Granted, we'll see what happen when he recovers. But this guy is not afraid to land his punches.

How is this for you...
Reason 1: He probably has more weapons than any player I have ever seen.
Reason 2: He is not an oversized, injury prone, oaf like a Delpo that will always have physical breakdowns.
Reason 3: He has a good game on any surface.
Reason 4: He has zero fear of any of the elite players, and almost always gets al least a set on them, even back when he wasnt playing that well.
Reason 5: He only recently started training hard and practicing a lot. If he starts putting in the kind of work Nadal does, god help the rest of the tour.

And the 'travesty' has occurred on the men's side as well...and guess what, both men *and* women play 'real' tennis. :roll:
Despite his injury, when he returns, JMDP. Guy has made it deep into the slams on all surfaces, has won one against Fed in a slam final (which no one with the exception of Nadal has been able to do in years) and has the game to match up against the other contenders.
