What are the chances of Roger Federer about No. 1 position?

Question

Tennis sport event is coming in Dubai and I want to know that what are the chances of Roger Federer about No. 1 position? Does anyone know about that?

Answer 1

Federer has never enjoyed being second best, never enjoyed being the underdog. He's publicly said, he's going for the No. 1, but that it will be hard. He's spot on with that. If Federer stays healthy and has a good training block in February, there are reasons to believe, he'll have a much better spring that the 2010.
But, he trails Nadal by more than 4.400 points and rather than being the hunter, it looks like he's being hunted with Djokovic only 85 points behind Federer.
But, let's break it down. How many points do the three top dogs have to defend in the months until Wimbledon, Federer's best chance to get the position back as he had the best second half of the season?
Federer has: 600 (Madrid) + 360 (French) + 360 (Wimbledon) + 150 (Halle) + 90 (Estoril) +90 (Miami) + 45 (Indian Wells) + 10 (Rome) = 1705 points. Add to that, that he's scheduled to play Dubai (ATP 500) this year, where he didn't go last year.
