you are all forgetting del potro is on the rise he has a lot of room to improve he is only 21, he will be at his peak in 2 or 3 years when federer and nadal won't pose such a threat as now.

Del Potro's awesome...I'm actually really happy that he won the US Open and I think it's a great story, and that he seems like a cool guy...yet ( :P ), I don't think he could be a solid #1- somebody who is #1 for most of, if not the entire year- for a little while.

I do not know Jayl0ve. I think the guy can do it consistently. I get that Nadal-like hunch with this guy (of course, the same feeling I got with Nadal in his early career before becoming recognized).

I am sooooo amazed at this guys game. I want to see more double-hand juice on that backhand. :wink: He is a fighter, as we all know.

I only play for 9 month on the PS3 tour, so yeah Safina has more finals then me. But I have more titles. :P As for others claiming me as the best, it happened...but I never accepted the title :lol:

Add me on PSN, we can have a match over the weekend.
