What's crazy is he still would have been number one even if he lost to Nadal in the final – Nadal with three majors in the last 52 weeks would have been number two in the world. That's how dominant Djokovic was in the first six months of 2011.

Should've been Tsonga's 2nd slam ;_;. And after beating Djokovic at the French Open a few years later he should've been the first Frenchie French Open champ in an inordinate number of years. Poor Jo.

I like to pretend that didn't happen.

Amazing match, though. Federer wasn't messing around.

Would have been an interesting scenario and a discussion

He would've still had to keep his streak up in order to maintain #1, though. If he doesn't win Canada and USO he goes right back down.
