Federer's Wilson BLX 210: Feel is Elemental

Reclaiming the year-end world No. 1 ranking – Is it really that improbable?

Amongst the 15 players to have held the year-end No. 1 ranking since the ATP adopted a computerized ranking system in 1973, Ivan Lendl remains the only one to successfully reclaim the lost mantle of the world's numero uno when usurped at the top by another player.  With a lead of some 950 points over second placed Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer is poised to become the first player to match Lendl's 1989 feat.  However...

Did You Know...

Fabrice Santoro, the man Pete Sampras calls "The Magician", the player who possesses the diabolically nasty double-handed forehand slice as a weapon in his extensive armoury, has beaten 17 of the 20 players who had ever held the No. 1 world ranking: Muster, Agassi, Connors, Becker, Wilander, Sampras, Courier, Kuerten, Rios, Edberg, Federer, Rafter, Safin, Moya, Hewitt, Ferrero, Roddick?

Farewell Marat Vid

"Mastering the sport of tennis is an exceedingly difficult proposition..."

"When you pick up a basketball, all you have to do is put it through the hoop. A kid does it once; he wants to do it again because it reminds him of LeBron or Kobe. Nothing a kid does on a tennis court can remind him of what he sees in Federer or Nadal."

"He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some."

In a shocking revelation in his soon-to-be-released autobiography entitled "Open" next month, Andre Agassi, the only man to have won all four Grand Slam singles title and the Olympic men's singles gold medal in his career, admitted to regularly using crystal meth and knowingly lied about it to the authorities to escape a ban.
