He's won one one of Cincinnati or Toronto in the year for quite some time now so he's pretty good.

The only thing he's done more at the Aussie Open is make two slam finals, he's still made one US Open final and the semi finals before so he's not bad at all. I've said that by record the Aussie Open is his best slam, it doesnt stop that he should do very well at the US Open. He is good on the surface, he's said that himself and with the momentum he has he'll be feeling confident going into the US series.

I never said he was bad. He is good at the US Open. I was just saying that he isn't that good as some people are making out to be.

Really? That is strange, I understand if he calls it his favourite but his best? Considering the fact that he has a better record at Wimbledon and Aussie Open I don't get why he says it is his best.

SUMMER HARDCCOURT SEASON BEGINS :mark

I am hoping Djokovic get eliminated soon. The sooner the better. He will lose points if he does not win the Cup and he will get futher away from Federer. So if he want to remain with the same points he has now he has to win the Toronto Master. Djokovic chances of getting no.1 soon is unlikely. He has to defend a lot of points, surely he won't be able to defend all. So he will lose many points. I am going to predict that Federer will end the year as No.1. He has a big chance to do that.

There's roughly 200 points between Fed and Novak. Nadal is over 2,000 points behind them 2.

Djokovic is able to regain number one if federer slips in Cincinnati and he does well, let's hope that does;t happen.

Yeah but Djokovic has to defend much more points than Federer. Djokovic has a higher chance to lose more points than Federer. So Federer is most likely to remain No.1 coming to the US Open.

I see. It's going to be interesting though, to see who is No.1 after the Us Open.

He's said in the past that it's because he loves being in New York is why he likes the US Open so much. That's probably why he went out in the first week to Cilic in 2009 and Wawrinka in 2010 so he could enjoy NYC for an extra week without having tennis get in his way!

Pretty shocked Tsonga went out so soon in Toronto. He's a great player but he's so inconsistant. He should never be losing to Chardy in any tournament. Maybe he's just taking some time to adjust to the surface difference. After two months on the grass (rather than the one month everyones used to) it might be taking him a little while to get used to it.

Good wins for Murray and Djokovic though. I wouldn't be shocked if Murray loses to Roanic today, the guy must be exhausted. I think Djokovic will end up winning Toronto again. The race between Djokovic and Federer for number one is interesting, was surprised to hear how far behind Nadal is though.

I don't think he was taking it too seriously. I think he would have pulled out, but he didn't want to lose the ranking points. Del Potro is another one who is out in the 1st round. I think they both wanted to rest tbh
