Unfortunately not since Nadal will probably go out in the first few rounds.

on a serious note, I remember Mauresmo being an absolute choker but still managed to win grand slams and become number 1.
Wawrinka doesn't look like a choker to me (did he in the past ? maybe a little bit but not like Mauresmo)
He impressed me mentally these last 2 weeks

The problem with Stan is that he's not a great grass player, of course he reached a final last year but lost in straight sets to grass specialist Mahut.

G.O.A.T.
It would be really nice if Wawrinka wins Wimbledon and becomes no.1 at the end of 2014.
I really hope that Wawrinka can do what Mauresmo did and win another slam to silence all the naysayers, almost identical situation, Mauresmo was leading Justine Henin in the Aus Open final by a set, but Justine retired and people were quick to say ''would Mauresmo of won if Justine wasn't injured?'' , but 6 months later she went on to win Wimbledon and beat Justine Henin in the final with no injury/sickness dramas for Henin, I hope Stan can go on to win another slam too this year, Maybe US OPEN?
The Mauresmo vs Henin case was a little bit different though as Mauresmo was leading 6-1 2-0, as dominating as the scoreline suggests, Henin was clearly looking very unwell (sick)

He has a hell of a lot to defend, though.
Indian Wells (will be tough)
Madrid, Rome, French Open (75% chance he defends RG and at least one of those Masters events)
Montreal and Cincy (I can't see him retaining both of those)
US Open (several other players could win here)
I agree he's definitely favourite to retain the #1 spot after the points gained in Australia, but if someone goes on a hardcourt tear and Nadal's form dips, it could happen.

LOL Amelie Mauresmo didn't play an injured opponent
Justine was lying, everyone knew it, by the way that day I was rooting for Justine to win but it was just obvious
It only took her 6 months to be punished by Karma
God, Henin was one set away to complete her career slam, but Karma just justified Amelie
That's why I'm sure that heavens will justify Nadal at the end
if he was really injured (probably was) it will only show by time
like when time exposed Henin

Henin was fine, I suppose you didn't watch that match

Maybe, but I doubt he'd win Wimbledon. Has more of a chance at the US Open.

Only at the US Open, I feel. I believe Federer, Djokovic,Nadal and maybe even Ferrer can beat him at the French.
I did watch the match, I live in Melbourne so we have exclusive all day broadcast of the Aus Open every year, it was some time ago though, perhaps you are right but Justine just wasn't getting much going in that match, or perhaps it was Mauresmo playing toooo well.

No, she isn't
Henin wasn't only lying but she robbed Amelie's happiness of winning the her first slam by retiring
Henin was in no sign of pain whatsoever
BTW Henin was never booed lol
On the other hand Nadal was probably going to lose to Wawrinka anyway, but he got injured, the link is:
If he was losing and he got injured IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE WAS PRETENDING IT FOR GOD SAKE
It doesn't mean the injury would've affected the outcome of the winner anyway, it doesn't mean either the injury was a lie (obviously it wasn't)
Again, I'm sure that heavens will do justice to Nadal and then everybody will realize that he wasn't lying (same justice done to Amelie)

So you can accurately assess who's lying and who isn't?
