I gave you a like for this only. Everyone should call him that.Not with healthy, fresh and motivated Tsitsipiras and Zverev around.
Are the remaining tournaments Barcelonas and Monte Carlos?Bull has it in the bag.

The margin is too wide. Fed lost it when he choked against Anderson and don’t get me started on Zverev..Are the remaining tournaments Barcelonas and Monte Carlos?
Is that even mathematically possible?

Sorry I had to.The margin is too wide. Fed lost it when he choked against Anderson and don’t get me started on Zverev..
Bull won both the US Open and Beijing last year, executing in his road Kyrgios and Dimitrov in Beijing, as well as Del Potro and Anderson (the assassin of Federer) at the US Open.Are the remaining tournaments Barcelonas and Monte Carlos?
And then you woke up.Zverev will win USO and WTF, and will finish YE#1.
Obviously Nadal has the edge now because he's the only one that played clay.
Sounds more like a nightmare to me.Dream: Federer sweeps Cincy, USO, Shanghai, Basel, YEC to tie Sampras for 6 YE#1.
Pragmatic: Zverev sweeps a few masters and 500, deep run at USO and manages to eclipse Nadal who gets shocked early at the USO then falls apart during indoor season as usual.

This year could be the same.
Depends on who wins US Open.
His chances of defending either title are minuscule. He's never defended a non-clay title in 15 years on tour.Bull won both the US Open and Beijing last year, executing in his road Kyrgios and Dimitrov in Beijing, as well as Del Potro abd Anderson (the assasin of Federer) at the US Open.

Yes the famous 2017 US Open draw.Bull won both the US Open and Beijing last year, executing in his road Kyrgios and Dimitrov in Beijing, as well as Del Potro abd Anderson (the assasin of Federer) at the US Open.

Anderson is World no.5 , At this point anything can happen in tennisHis chances of defending either title are minuscule. He's never defended a non-clay title in 15 years on tour.

Beijing lol.
Yes it's quite funny because I would never say that. 2017 AO was more about Federer winning a Slam after a couple of years at the age of 35 than him beating Nadal.It's TTW at its finest - Nadal is a joke off clay, yet somehow Fed beating Nadal(who had been down and out for two years) in the 2017 AO final is the greatest moment in tennis history. lol
Nadal's non clay title defense is over a period of 15 years and occurs year after year after year. Anderson has only been top 5 for a brief period in his entire career and won't remain there for long. Totally different things. One event is an established pattern, the other is a brief fluke.Anderson is World no.5 , At this point anything can happen in tennis

I doubt that's going to lessen his chances of winning though. I doubt the act of 'defending' the title plays very much on Rafa's mind and he'll approach the tournament the same way as if he hadn't won it the previous year.His chances of defending either title are minuscule. He's never defended a non-clay title in 15 years on tour.

Then who can be arsed to play the fall season.
Obviously Nadal has the edge now because he's the only one that played clay, but he usually checks out after US Open (as does everybody else).

Federer hasn't lost before the QF of a slam since 2015. Since 2017, he's played 5 majors, won 3, lost 2 QF. So your point is false.But he has plenty to gain from Canada and Cinci, not to mention the WTF and Paris if he plays.
He has as good a chance of the USO as any. Nadal is the only player who has consistently played well in majors the past couple years ( Fed is falling badly off the cliff , his chances are worse than Nadals ).
Yes, he was there physically.Actually Djokovic played clay...
Djokovic has a good shot to finish the year 2nd.
Race to London(points accumulated in 2018)
Nadal 5760
Zverev 4085
Federer 4020
Delpo 3530
Djoker 3355
Thiem 2995
Cilic 2915
Anderson 2820
Isner 2470
Fognini 1805
Delpo has an injured wrist. Djoker will pass him. Federer plays a truncated schedule. So Djoker should be able to pass him. Zverev's slam results have been a huge question mark. But he will break through shortly. Will it be at the 2018 USO? That's the big question right now. I predict that Djoker ends the year #2. #1 is too far away for Djoker now. He would need to win the USO and WTF to have a snowball's chance. And he'll need Nadal to get knocked out early during those events as well. Right now, I give Nadal a 99% chance of ending the year world #1. But Djoker looks like a get bet for #2.

If you have Khachanov and Tsiparatas in Masters SF/F then anything is possibleNo more clay. No chance for the Nadal.
Nice to see how you strategically ignore Cilic (he who lost in 5 close sets to Federer at the AO 2018 final and defeated Federer at the USO 2014).If you have Khachanov and Tsiparatas in Masters SF/F then anything is possible
Choked like he always has.Nice to see how you strategically ignore Cilic (he who lost in 5 close sets to Federer at the AO 2018 final and defeated Federer at the USO 2014).
So Federer's main rival at the AO 2018 was a choker, who choked in the 5th set of the final. Interesting.Choked like he always has.
Posters on this forum like to leave him out of discussions even though Cilic would’ve been #1 if it wasn’t for resurgent Fred and Ralph throughout 2017 and early 2018.Nice to see how you strategically ignore Cilic (he who lost in 5 close sets to Federer at the AO 2018 final and defeated Federer at the USO 2014).
Totally.So Federer's main rival at the AO 2018 was a choker, who choked in the 5th set of the final. Interesting.
