Lack of relationship between weeks #1 and Slam Titles

Lol, I wasn't getting owned though.

Actually, yeah, you pretty much are, and haven't countered anything yet.

You obviously haven't read my responses properly. I countered plenty, you just don't like the fact I was doing so.

Fingers crossed, I'm sooooo ready to not be in the Carolinas anymore. Grew up here and turning 30 this year, time to bounce :lol:

Good luck with the job interview, my wishes

Nadal match is on and you're wasting your time here.

He wouldn't say the same to you if it was the other way round. :wink:

LOL!

MN and 2011 just go back and forth.

Ignore the man with the basket. Good luck with the job interview, Mike.

I don't know about that. I would have wished you also the same :|

 

[MichaelNadal]

Thanks guys

 

[NatF]

+1 to those good luck wishes. Hope it goes well MN. It's good you're excited about the interview.

:lol:

I don't know exactly if this is directed at me or Djokovic2011, but let's not serve to antagonise each other here.

Thanks guys

That's your best profile pic.
Keep this one.

Nadal is the odd one, not Djokovic. Djokovic has half the GS titles of Federer and half weeks at #1.

Nadal has 14 GS titles and only 141 weeks and no WTF. That just means that he isn't a complete player like Djokovic or Federer. He is dominating at 1 GS, that's all.

Is this sarcasm meant to emphasize the misunderstanding of others? Of so, well done.

Not you, NN :lol:
You aren't the only one with a basket on this board.

If we're having any kind of points system, I give the same to the Tour Finals as a Slam because of the round robin format and the competition you're facing. Five matches against Top 8 players. Even if it has been downgraded to a best of 3 set affair.

So:

WTF & Slam=10 Points
ATP 1000= 4 Points
Every 10 Weeks at #1 (fractional application)=3 Point

Roger Federer: 230+92+90.6=412.6
Rafael Nadal: 140+108+42.3=290.3
Novak Djokovic: 120+96+44.7=260.7


I think one can play around with how to value weeks at #1 but ultimately I think it shouldn't be given too much considering winning tournaments will inevitably help you get that ranking. As far as giving points for weeks at #2, I'd say it be 1 point for every 10 and then 0.5 for #3.

I wouldn't give anything for weeks at #4 or #5 because at that point, getting titles means you are having a good draw or unexpected results, and that's your reward. Weeks in the top 3 is about consistency.
