I'd like to see Nadal putting a perfect end for a fantastic year and
win YEC this year.

With slam wins on all 3 surfaces, he is the clear favorite for the title
no matter what surface they use, no?

Yes, right now, Rafa's the man, the de facto favourite in any
tournament he enters.

I'd like him to screw the YEC, rest instead, and further develop his
game in the direction it has been going, and then go all out for the
NCYGS. That's Tier I stuff.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nadal doesn't win the YEC. Because of
injury or because either Fed or Murray beat him.

I have a funny feeling he won't win the NCYGS. Because he loses to
Murray or to Delpotro at the AO. Or because of injury.

Are you kidding us? Murray is a very good player, Nole is a fantastic
player, Fed is the best of all time, so Nadal cannot be the favorit, no? ;-)

Sure you would. Don't worry, the way he's playing atm he probably will.

But to answer your question: 2, Newcombe and Wilander.

Was Wilander ranked #1 for one year or more than a year?

You ask a lot of questions, did they remove google from your machine?

Do they prefer Rafa over Fed? :-)

They all love Federer but they become fans of Nadal when they don't
get what they want and specially when it's timed with a Federer
loss :)
