Should start some flaming.

As an aside... as normal seeding and bracketing works... why did nadal play Joker in the semis? don't the 1 and 4, 2 and 3 meet in semi's?

edit... stupid question... forgot murray is now the #3...

the title of fittest tennis player alone should go to the one who doesn't complain of fatigue and injury every tournament.

I'm sure Nadal_Freak and Veroniquem (amongs many others) disagree with the article.

nadal is the fittest tennis player, no doubt.

manny pacquiao is the fittest sports athlete in the world

If he was so fit he wouldnt have looked like walking death in the Madrid final now would he?

Yeah it should go the guy who doesn't complain of fatigue because he wins a tournament only after 8 months

The difference is *******s don't claim that Fed is the fittest guy on tour, yet use fatigue and exhaustion as an excuse for him losing.

Murray was seeded #4 because the seeding took place before the rankings updated.

Regardless seeding doesn't work like that in the draws:

You have:

1 & 2 on either side
3 & 4 drawn randomly into one half or the other, can get either #1 or #2
5-8 randomly drawn for each quarter

etc

also that list is strange and definitely not a real representation on fitness, Bolt is fit but I very much doubt he's the fifth fittest man in the world, and you have Richard Branson at number 10 haha xD
