...Roger could take #1 back from Rafa? Let me first say, this is NOT a question. This is me making observations and posting it on a forum full of great tennis fans whom I know will appreciate it.
It's a tall order. No doubt about it. I am very bored and have a couple of hours to kill, so I'm going to piece together the MOST PLAUSIBLE possible way for Roger Federer to slowly overcome the ridiculous gap between himself and Rafael Nadal in order to reclaim the world No. 1 ranking.
RIGHT NOW (Gosh I wish they had the option to make bold letters here, caps look so aggressive)
Rafael Nadal: 11880
Roger Federer: 7335
Okay, sweet. Just took a bathroom break and then went to get a couple of cold Leine's. I'm ready for this. Also, let me give a premature thank you and shout out to the invention of tabs in internet browsers for making this possible.
Here we go. This week, Roger Federer competes in Stockholm, a 250 level tournament. He has a relatively easy draw, with the most difficult competition prior to the final being Stanislas Wawrinka. In the final, he would face either Robin Soderling or Tomas Berdych. I would favor him over both guys, but especially the Swede. Additionally, I would favor Robin over Tomas in their potential semi-final clash. Therefore, I will make the reasonable prediction that Roger Federer can and should win this tournament, adding 250 points to his total.
I just realized the real challenge here will be keeping this within Yahoo! Answers' "character limit." *Edit* I am well over their limit. I am posting this to a blog for those who wish to read it. Please please click this link to continue reading. I worked for hours at this actually and I hope you won't be disappointed if you're willing to take the time to look it over.
