Will he be criticized for not having won a slam en route to regaining the top spot?
Will he be labelled as "undeserving" of the top ranking just as Caroline did?
I don't think he can get back to #1 in the men's game without winning a slam to be honest with you.
Fed's not going to play all these **** ass 250's...
Plus we're heading into the clay season as well.
I mean look at what Djokovic had to do to get the #1 ranking last year
Win AO, and Dubai
Win both Indian Wells and Miami
Win Madrid and Rome
Semi-Finals at RG
Win Wimbly
Didn't officially take over the #1 ranking until after Wimbly ended...
So he had to win 4 Masters 1000 series, a 500, and two Grand Slams, along with a Semi-Final appearance at the French Open...
I won't say Fed can't pull something like that off, but to play at such a high level consistently, is extremely hard to do.
