"World No. 1 Roger Federer is accustomed to rewriting history books, but his newest achievement was a collaborative effort shared by the Top 8 in the South African Airways 2009 ATP Rankings. With all of them winning their third-round matches Thursday at the Rogers Cup in Montreal, it marked the first time in men’s tennis history (since 1973) on the ATP World Tour that the top eight ranked players advanced to the quarter-finals at a single tournament."

I just read that same bit of info on Roger's website! Fascinating.

Del Potro coming on strong

Watching Del Potro implode in the 3rd set of the final. How can you be in the top 10 and still so lacking in fitness?
Yet, he just broke Murray. Interesting.
Also interesting, Murray is now world #2. Does that put Nadal & Federer in the same side of the draw at the Open?

>8 littlegeek: - possibly - it depends on the who comes out of the hat.
Watching the way Nadal faded against Del Potro I'm not sure he'll be a real threat the Open anyway. It's not his favourite surface and he'll still be rebuilding his fitness/speed.
Re DP's fitness. I think his physique is the problem. He's taller and heavier than all the other top players and therefore doesn't move as naturally - he doesn't glide and slide like the others, he stomps - and it takes him longer to recover from one long match to another. It's interesting that most of the top players are within 2-3 inches of each other - tall enough to produce a decent serve but still move well.

Not bad results given those limitations. The man's a beast, and must have heart -- the way he came back in three against Roddick the last two weeks.

Re Nadal, if knees are your problem, hardcourts are going to exacerbate it. I don't expect much from him until next Spring. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if after the Open he takes off until clay court next year. He'll do the Open just to remind us he's still here, unless he's really hurting bad.
