Question

When will Rafa Nadal be number 1 since he is way better than Federer??

Answer 1

wait till next year

Answer 2

OMG! How the h**l can you justify it?

Federer 5 wimbledon's in a row?

Nadal......none!

Federer 3 australian opens!

Nadal...none?!!

Federer 4 Us open's in a row since tim Bilden did it in 1926

Nadal? None!

Federer 3 Tennis masters cup won in 3 straight years!(total 5!)

All the players are tough, only the top eight play!

Nadal? A sorry none!

Lol! these are only just the facts I'm talking about!

And at the french open....although Nadal won...did federer not reach the final every time?

Does nadal reach the Australian open and US open finals?

Has he ever?

And since the clay season is over..the hard court season begins.....so now federer's gonna be at it again!So will Djovovic!Like him or not!

And why do you worry?He will.... I'll say maybe No:1

I don't think he will.....because Novak Djokovic will become no: 2 before that! So nadal will become number 3

Federer has won so many titles almost 60 now! And he plays almost effortlessly.....Nadal all beefed up muscle!

And listen!I'm not Anti-Nadal or anything!I think you should use such bold words when you have stats to back it up!That way....no one can go against you!Got it?

Answer 3

It probably won't happen. If Nadal does get to #1, which I doubt, it would probably not last longer than 6 months, maximum.  Roger will win USOpen and Aussie Open in 09, and Nadal will begin his decline in the rankings like Hewitt. He's only the king on clay, nothing else. His knees are shot, at 22 he already has WAY too many injuries and major troubles. If his knees are screwed up at 22, they're only going to get worse. He better get ready for the biggest loss of his life -he will lose the French Open and he'll lose it to Federer next year. The REAL king Federer will be back with all his forces in full fight mode. The clay will be his territory from now on.

Answer 4

If he is to get to number 1 it will depend on what Roger does. If the buttpicker was so much better than Roger he wouldn't have to  wait for Roger to lose early he would be number one whether Roger lose early or not.

Answer 5

If Roger does not defend his Cincinnati Masters, US Open titles, and does not make it to the finals at the Toronto Masters, and Nadal does better than him in those three events, then Nadal should be number one perhaps before the US Open or right after the US Open ends.

However it all depends on how well Roger does at these events. If Nadal was to lose before Roger does at any of those events, then Roger will continue to keep his number one ranking.

Answer 6

If Rafa wins any of the US Open warm up series, and reach at least the 1/4 final at the Open. he'll be # 1. Roger won't add points, even if he wins Cinci, and the Open, 'cause Roger has to defend his titles, $, but no points.

Answer 7

when Federer retires............he might have beat Federer but Federer is still waaaay better

:]

Answer 8

HEY, Gianfi? How have you been? Yes, Rafa needs a couple of more pts. and he is set!

Answer 9

if rafa win the masters cup and us open

Answer 10

Is not possible.

Answer 11

I wouldn't say Rafa is "way better" than Federer, although his game has improved on grass and the hard courts. The top five currently in the ATP rankings are:

Roger - 6600 points

Rafa - 6050 points

Djoko - 4945 points

Ferrer - 3045 points

Nikolai - 2970 points

Rafa will lose some points because he's not defending his win in the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart this week, but you can see he's pretty close to Roger.

Roger will also be defending his win in Cincinnati at the end of the month. He has to perform well there to keep his points up.

Rafa does have a chance to get to # 1 in the next couple of months. There is no doubt that he is the one of the top two players in the world at the moment with 6 wins this year already including two slams and a couple of Master Series.

Roger has only two wins this year, at smaller tournaments - Estoril (Portugal), and the Gerry Weber Open.

So on paper, Nadal is currently the better player.

Let's see how he performs during the summer hard court season.

Answer 12

no he just beat federer once...so that doesnt mean anything

          : )

Answer 13

hahahahah nina's answer

his knees are shot?????-- r u serious you might as well say that Andy Roddick's Ankles r broken....

he's had too many injuries?-- When ??????

Rafel Nadal will become #1 at the end of the masters series or right after the Aussie Open b/c djokovic will win the US open and will repeat at the Aussie not giving Roger a chance to really expand his lead

Answer 14

This is really creepy. You post a question then you use your other accounts to answer it :S lmao !!! you really do scare me.

Rafa is the BEST always and forever x x x x x x x

Besides at least Rafa will win all the grandslams at some point in his career. Whereas Federer can never win the French !!! Now lets see what would u rather have winning lots and lots of grandslams and be called one of the worlds best players or win ALL the grandslams even if its just once but be known as one of the greatest of all times for completing all the grand slams. yeah yeah yeah Rafa is AMAZING!

Answer 15

he is way better than Federer???  wut u been smokin

Answer 16

I think this question should have been in the fantasy section Nadal is horrible away from clay he has had only some luck in the last year but as they say when the luck goes the only thing you have is talent and Federer has more talent
