^ I’d say Nalbandian impressed me more than did Davydenko, but agree with most of the rest.
I just don't think Safin cared as much as others. I don't think he looks as his career as a failure as most tennis analysts make out. Roddick in 06 was really awful, hit 0 forehand winners all year, so was really happy with his cincy title and US open runner up.
I've never really rated Nalbandian's MC 05 win. He wasn't even top 8 in the race, however injuries of Roddick, Nadal and Safin allowed him in. Federer was hobbling like an injured duck. However, before anyone flames me, let me say this now, Paris and Madrid 2007 were the best MS runs in terms of quality from a player not named Djokovic, Nadal and Federer. In fact it could very well be as good as those three.

You are correct about Safin actually, but he was injured since the clay season of 2005. He did have some good matches with Ferrero around this time too.
Nalbandian did get to No. 3 in the world after winning the Tennis Masters Cup though. It was the peak of his career, 2005-2006 was the time where Nalbandian posted the best results in majors.
I think he got to the SF of the Australian Open, SF of Roland Garros and was a decent threat at the time.

Who would have thought this possible with Nole and Rafa in the tourney? Wow! Are we there yet when the Big 3 aren't guaranteed the event winner?

You can just edit the original post, you know. But this thread probably did need a bump.
