Have no idea if this has been discussed already – can’t find it if it has, so sorry to repeat. BUT, can anyone tell me the point situation if Roger gets to the finals but loses. Will Rafa still keep #1. And, of course, what would the points be if Roger wins it all? I lie awake at nights worrying about Rafa losing the #1…..
If Roddick wins and Roger loses he will stay at #2 but by a very slim margin. No points to defend until Canada, but as Rafa won it, even if he wins it, if Roger has a better finish than last year, he will regain the #1 spot. Also, Rafa’s Olympic gold points will drop off and so it seems that he could (let’s hope temporarily) return to #2, but if he makes a tear in the US hardcourt season and wins the US Open (from my lips to God’s ears), he can march towards the end of the year with a great chance at ending 2009 at #1. He didn’t play much of the indoor hardcourts and missed the year end, so any points he gets there will be whipped cream on top of the dessert! Oh our lovely boy!
I sure hope RAFA can pull off the US Open like you are saying Suzanne & remain at #1 by the end of this year w/God’s will & RAFA’s knees holding up. Has anyone see this article (I will post the link to it) sorry if it was posted elsewhere, I didn’t know where to put it — I really don’t know what to think of it, whether or not it’s pro Fed or pro RAFA? I sure hope that Roddick wins on Sunday though (may the best married man win)! Maybe the luck of the American Williams’ sisters will prevail to the men’s side and Fed can stay in the #2 slot :-)

There’s a Rankings category – perhaps a better place for a discussion about rankings. In fact, I don’t really think there should be any comments on this page, so I’m going to lock it.
