So Rafa has the number 5 next to his name now. Big deal, who’s worried? I’m not. I realise it affects his seeding in tournaments, but also realise that post Wimbledon he has zero points to defend, and can only gain. The other four guys will have many points to defend over the course of the year, especially Daveed, with 7 titles from last year. I’m pretty certain there will be several switching of places to come in the months ahead.
in spite of not playing for more than 6 months, rafa has moved down only to no.,5. this itself shows his greatness.forgetting such seedings and focusing only on his game maintainig carefully his health, i am certain rafa can retrieve his glory by dec 2013.rafa,you ve nepoleon bonaparte’s will power.so, leave aside the seeding etc & play ur natural game keeping ur girl friend always in the gallery like the first top 3 seeds to encourage u.best of luck.arunachalam, india
