Young whippersnapper Nadal will replace Federer at the top of the world rankings.
The Spaniard didn't win the Master's Title in Cincinnati last week (that was secured by our own Andy Murray) but has still notched up enough points to become world No. 1.
Roger says he doesn't care.
Do we believe him?

Nothing makes sports more entertaining than a great rivalry and that is exactly what Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are starting to build. Although Federer has dominated the rest of the tennis world by winning the lion share of the titles and prize money, Nadal has been able to beat the worlds number one ranked player on many surfaces and under the brightest of spotlights. Their match at Wimbledon this year will likely go down in history as one of the best matches of this or any era. Five grueling sets lasted four hours and forty-eight minutes (a men's Wimbledon finals record) and left Rafael Nadal as the champion.Nothing makes sports more entertaining than a great rivalry and that is exactly what... more

..."you can't win them all?" Well Roger Federer doesn't really understand that phrase. He has been winning them all or at least getting to the finals in the past 10 straight Grand Slams. That is ridiculous! Well that streak ended yesterday when Roger Federer lost to third-seeded Novak Djokovic (joke-a-vitch, haha...). Djokovic will now meet Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (who?) in the finals of the Australian Open. My money is on Tsonga, well maybe not my money but I'll be rooting for him.
Who's your favorite to win the Australian? ..."you can't win them all?" Well Roger Federer doesn't really... more
