"Playing three Masters Series finals in a row and winning a 250 event
(in Belgrade) is incredible success and even then you are dropping a spot
down in the rankings. That shows how cruel the ranking system
is in this sport. Federer or Nadal have been winning four or five grand
slams in a row and they haven't [added] a single point. I think this is
an issue we have to talk about."
-- Nole, on the cruel cruel rankings system. Note to Nole: They haven't lost any points either.
"I think a ranking based on two years would be much better in terms of being relaxed and, from my point of view, would allow me to lengthen my career."
-- Rafa, on the cruel cruel rankings system. Lengthen because he could slow down and play less tournaments? Yeah, I'm sure that'd be *great* for the sport.
Stop whining, boys. Leave that to the ladies. We're much better at it.
