I was very pleased to see Federer win the Open and reach the semis or finals in every other major this year despite the physical challenges from earlier in the year. Somehow, I had it in the back of my mind that he might have a good shot of regaining the top ranking by year end or at least the Australian Open in 2009.
Well, this article set me straight 🙂 Looks like an uphill climb for No. 1 and possibly a solid battle just to maintain No. 2. It’s clearly Nadal’s year and I always give the best player his due. Still hoping though that the Fed Express gets back on top in 2009. Best of luck, Roger.
