Top 10 isn't great?

Terrific especially considering he was laughably underpaid in the early years of his domination 2004-5 to the point it was a boardroom joke.

Godsick turned all that around. Coaches may come and go, but Tony Godsick is forever!!!

He's built a brand, much like the top players in other individual and team sports have. It was only a matter of time. The only downside to it is that people think all pro tennis players are millionaires when the truth is most are living a very avg lifestyle away from the court.

right now he's not playing like a top 10, he is top 10 because of his results at the AO and French. Since july he is not top 10.

He's barely top 50 after Wimbledon. Hopefully he ups his training and reaches similar heights at the start of next year.
