Federer Secures 299 Weeks at Number One through October 15 epa03385464 Roger Federer of Switzerland hits a return to Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic during their quarterfinals round match on the tenth day of the 2012 US Open Tennis Championship at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows, New York, USA, 05 September what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska 2012.

Here are the schedules (according to their websites), for Federer, Djokovic and Murray until the end of the year. Note that the ATP 1000 s carry a maximum of 1000 points and the ATP 500 s carry a maximum of 500 points to the winner. The ATP World Tour carries a potential 1500 points.
Federer: what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska Shanghai ATP 1000, Basel ATP 500, Paris ATP 1000 and ATP World Tour Finals what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska in London. what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska Fed has a 0-pointer for both Tokyo and Shanghai from last year on his current points standing,but he picked up 3000 points winning Basel, Paris and London without the loss of a match after the US Open last year. Federer will lose just 360 points on Monday by losing in the quarters instead of the semis he reached what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska last year. That will leave him at 11805 until Basel comes off his schedule. In the meantime, he will actually pick up 90 points what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska when the 0-pointer for Tokyo comes off and is replaced by 90 points for Doha. In addition, he will have a shot at picking up points in Shanghai. what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska So Fed will still top the rankings at least until after Shanghai and he will hold at least 11895 points until his points from Basel come off a couple of weeks later. That gets Fed to 299 weeks on top. The results of Shanghai will determine what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska whether Djokovic can catch him before the results from the brilliant run Fed had through Basel, Paris and London comes off.
Djokovic: Beijing ATP 500, Shanghai ATP 1000, Paris ATP 1000 and ATP World Tour Finals in London. After the US Open, Novak has just 560 points left to defend from last year: 180 in Basel, 180 in Paris and 200 for London. He also has zero pointers effecting his ranking from Beijing and Shanghai. Of course, Nole won the US Open and is defending 2000 points from the 2011 US Open title. He has secured 720 of them. 480 points are at stake against Ferrer in the semis and another 800 in the final. Even if Nole were to win the US Open again, he would still have only 11, 270 points, trailing Roger by 535 points. He ll be able to pick up 500 points if he wins Beijing, but Roger gets 90 just be not playing. Djokovic will still trail the Swiss maestro by 125 points going into Shanghai. He ll need to surpass Roger s performance in Beijing by at least 125 points to overtake him. That s at least a semi (360) vs a quarter (180). The way Djokovic is playing, I think he could run the table, but the real wild card is Murray.
Murray: Tokyo ATP 500, Shanghai ATP 1000, Basel ATP 500, Paris ATP 1000 and London ATP World Tour Finals. Murray has equaled his semifinal 2011 effort in the US Open so he can actually what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska move up this weekend if he gets past the semis. However, he has 1750 points to defend from sweeping the Asian swing last year winning Bangkok, Tokyo and Shanghai. So while a win at the US Open would move him up to 8570, he s already scheduled to surrender 250 points for Bangkok. Actually, he ll only lose 160 points as the result will be replaced with a 90 pointer in Barcelona. Murray is also capable of running the table, but he doesn t seem to have the constitution to maintain that higher what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska level through all those events; at least, not judging by past and even recent performances. The player that went down a set and 5-2 to Cilic seems to be too close below the surface of the player that won 18 of the next 21 games. But he certainly could be the spoiler that keeps Djokovic from retaking the number one ranking before the end of the year. And allowing what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska Federer to get that 300th week at number one. Nevertheless, if he did run the table until Basel winning the US Open, then defending in Tokyo and Shanghai, he would still go into Basel with 8410 points to Roger s 11895 even if he does get blanked in Shanghai (not likely). Still, mathematically, Murray could run down Roger and Novak by the end of the year.
While Roger would love to get the year=end what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska number one, it seems highly unlikely what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska that he could reproduce the tremendous run he had at the end of last year. I think we will hear more about this in the broader press coverage as Federer approaches 300 weeks, what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska but it seems to me he will need some help from Murray to sidetrack Djokovic for just long enough to allow Fed to achieve that milestone.
I hope I am wrong and Federer can pull a rabbit out of his hat again this winter, but I wouldn t bet on it. Djokovic already leads the Race to London Year-to-Date rankings by 525 points through the US Open semis and is looking better than ever. Plus there is no Nadal to deal with for at least the next couple what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska of months. What I would bet on is Federer getting to 300 weeks at number one. I think I could get some odds on that wager and I m counting on a little help from Murray to make it happen. Of course, Murray could throw a wrench in that scenario if he draws Federer in the semis of Shanghai. And, no, I don t think Berdych or Ferrer will have any bearing on these projections.
so he will reach 301. After that it will depend on basel, as fed can only loose points, the same at paris and london. So my guess: fed going to shanghai just to secures +300 weeks, then he will slow down, because djokovic is already ahead of him and will pbly finish the year at n1. Unless he misperformes at shanghai/ pekin
At the beginning of Beijing, Roger will have 11895 points and Novak 10,470. Assuming Novak wins Beijing he will have 10,970 points. what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska The point gap will be + 925 Roger. But Novak already what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska has 8 masters 1000 s counting toward his points. So for Shanghai to close the gap in rankings he will have to get more than 180 points (the lowest of his master s 1000 points) there. So assuming he wins Shanghai and Roger does not even play, the point difference would still be +105 in Roger s favor. This is because one can only count 8 master s series 1000 tournaments. The earliest it could change between Roger and Novak is only after Basel.
I also think if Roger plays Shanghai it is only to stay year end #1 and not to get to 300 weeks at #1 (even though it should be secured per my calculation below). But I also think Roger really does not care for these records. If he really did he could easily have played what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska more prior to the 2008 Wimbledon just to be sure he get to the 286 weeks at #1 after Wimbledon even with a loss in the finals (which was a real possibility given how Nadal was knocking on the door in the previous two finals).
There were many triggers for Roger to have already retired if he did not have a special liking for tennis. When Nadal beat him so narrowly in 2008 Wimbledon, followed soon by another disappointing what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska 5 set loss in 2009 AO finals it would have been logical for him to lose the competitive fire (like it happened to Borg after his losses to McEnroe in WImbledon and at US Open).
He could have lost it after the two semi-final losses to Djokovic at the US Open after having match points. He could have lost it after losing to Del Potro in the 2009 US Open finals after dominating the latter for most of the match and after being two points away from the trophy. He could have lost if after losing to Nadal in so many Roland Garros finals.
What people generally don t get is that Roger just likes tennis and everything about it including the grind of practice, working hard to stay fit and the travel with little children and the criticisms after his losses. Like no one else ever did.
While on their way to Tokyo for the WTA Premier event, the Toray Pan Pacific Open, No. 1 Victoria Azarenka and No. 13 Dominika Cibulkova are stopping over in Ho Chi Minh City for the Heineken what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska Stars exhibition
You do not have to search for very long to come across articles bemoaning the state of women's tennis. "Wacky", what cruise lines sail from seattle to alaska "crazy", "unpredictable" - all of these words have been brandished in an attempt to describe how the WTA tour has played out recently.
