Outside of clay Bull has always fared better as a hunter as opposed to the hunted.

Not surprised. Nadal hasn't been number 1 often compared to the other three, and winning mostly RG wasn't going to change that.

Well, 196 weeks is not too shabby and he still has the chance to increase this number.

I think a lot depends on the US Open. If he wins it, it's his.

Do you think that Nadal is the "wildcard" of Federer so that the Serbian does not exceed his record, one of the biggest he has?

Really?

Care to check 2005, 2006 and 2007? Fed was seeded #1 at every single slam that year.

In 1981 Mac was seeded #1 in every slam.

Hewitt was seeded #1 in every slam in 2002.

Why are people posting whatever the hell they want to here with no adherence to veracity!??

Oh-- what about Lendl 1986-88??

It is a matter of interpreting what he wanted but could not say clearly, nothing more.

Ye#1 is Bull's to grab this time around.
You better hope he doesn't mess it up

Not at all interested by no.1. If Nadal wins UO, I hope he takes rest of year off.

Him winning USO means Bull has a confidence at one last shot at WTF..
Apart from Roger & Novak, none will stop him. And there's a high chance both those threats will end up in same half

Rafa is not interested in WTF. He has never played a full calendar since 2011. If his knees were not a chronic problem then im sure he would want to win it but nowadays I think he just thinks Majors.
