No, federer has nothing to gain in this tournament this year cause he won it last year. I'm not sure if he can regain it this year. I don't think he can unless Nadal has very poor season...by some_guy
Federer's best chance of becoming No.1 is next year, when Nadal has to protect several points, then Federer can strike, and that's when he's most likely to rocket back to No. 1...by tennisboy50
Nope. In fact, Federer HAS to win to preserve his no. 2 ranking. He won last year, which means he gained 1000 points. Roger has to defend all of these points. He has nothing to gain in this tournament - even if he wins, it just solidifies his position as No. 2.
Say he loses in the first round (no chance of that). He loses 995 points. He's 825 points behind Djokovic, so by losing those points would bring him to No.3 if Djokovic defends his 700 points from last year for being a finalist...by gdawg
Being world number one for 4.5 years is not easy, Federer needs a break to release the pressure off. We'll probably see him back to the top again in 2010. However if fails to do it before 2010, he'll never be...robin7
