I think Nadal's loss yesterday could be a sign of things to come -- and a lesson for all of us. If someone had predicted he'd lose to this nobody, they'd have been laughed out of the thread. And yet he did.

So if the world number 2 and one of the greatest of all time can lose to some nobody ranked 100, and this nobody is certainly not going to go on and win the rest of this matches and take the title, how can we be sure anyone will win 7 in a row?

We can't be.

You are right heycal, a nobody like Rosol might win a tournament someday.

I have two questions:

1. Who is to blame?, and

2. What do we do now that officially USO12 has no winner?

Any more it doesn't matter
Who's right or wrong
We've been injuring each other
For much too long

And it's too late to try to save
What might have been
It's over
Nobody wins

Make believin in forever
Is just a lie
And it seems a little sadder
Each time we try
'Cause it's a shame to make
The same mistakes again
And again

It's over.
Nobody wins

We've gone too far too long
Too far apart
The lovin' was easy
It's the livin' that's hard
And there's no need to stay and see
The way it ends
It's over.
Nobody wins

I believe FO 2013 might be the first year no one wins. It is quite evenly matched between Nadal and Djoker and Fed may not have the endurance to win 7 matches. I'd say the odds are at least 20% that there is no winner.

I am not sure how they would distribute the prize money though. And if no player reaches the final, who would get the 2000 ATP points?
