I'm a bit sad, too. I wanted Djokovic and Nadal fans on MTF to spend the entire off season talking about who the "real number 1" is. Why must my dreams be shattered!

Tomorrow - Stan and Nadal both have to win for Stan to qualify. Nadal will qualify anyway. If Berdych beats Nadal, then Berdych and Nadal will qualify. Ferrer is out.
Today - don't care

I could have cared today, if Del Potro could have upended Nole. Are Del Potro and Stan the same person?

I only know that Nadal has to beat Berdych tonight or Stan's efforts will be for nothing.

Berdych could finish the group at #1 if he wins in straight sets. But yes Rafa please win.

So it seems I am going to the Sunday evening session. Alex - I was about to text you since I had a +1 but had it revoked just now, so I am going with a friend and a banker colleague.

Also important: PEYA has advanced in doubles.
Did we know Verdasco was competing in doubles? Remember when he used to be handsome and good at singles? Is he still either of those things?

(I can't do Sunday evening anyway.) (The final is Monday, I am open to any and all ticket offers. Seriously though, I didn't even try buying tickets for this because the actual prices are insaaaaaaaane. £200 for one singles and one doubles match? No thanks. I'll just go to Wimbledon instead.)

Amazing stat from TennisTV:
Number of times Federer broken in first 3 games of deciding set: 2008=61% 2009=66% 2010=68% 2011=75% 2012=80% 2013=100%

Del Pony is too tall. He looks giant. It's unfair to his normally shaped opponents.

I thought it was a really great match. Albeit disappointing at the end, obviously. Federer needs to beat Rafa to make up for this.

Regarding Stan/Fed rankings - I think Stan has to win the whole thing now to pass him. He'll have to settle for being great at everything except for being better than Fed.
