Answer 3

no way-- ah man if there were more points I would Nadal should jump on that. I wonder if he is playing in the Olympics. And wow I just looked at the points and Nadal pulled away from Djokovic for a while and is so so so close to Federer. I had no idea he would get this close so soon- even with a victory. I think that article is 100% true
