I have to ask myself how much of those antics are legitimate and how much are his struggles, and that's how it comes out. In otherwords, each player deals with the effort to make it through a tough match, or the tough part of a match differently. Some are stoic and don't appear to be effected. Others show their emotions. Djokovic wears his emotions on his sleeve, both good and bad. In those bad times, he, like his countrywoman Janks, can be a drama queen.
I'm with Dallas on this one.I think he has too many points to defend and doesn't have the fitness to do it.I see him slipping out of the top 5 by the end of August.

Have you seen the way he has outplayed everyone lately? The only way he falls out of top 5 by then is injury!

He'll probably have a top 5 position sewn up for the year around the end of Wimbledon start of North American hardcourt season. I'd go as far as saying there's more chance of Fed going Slamless for the year than Djoko falling out of the top 5, and I can't for one second see that happening either.

I think Nole fans should find this extremely distressing so early in the season.... ooops, didn't know he had a virus recently! I can relate to that!

Yeah he's only just starting to overcome a flu fever so I wouldn't read too much into this Monster, credit for him just for attempting to play 2 matches in 2 days for his country.

I've had intimate experience with a virus for the past 6 weeks and sometimes just getting out of bed was considered a victory!

I think you have this a bit wrong. Nadal currently has 5755 points, and would therefore catch up Fed if Fed loses in R4, and he wins the tourney: Fed would have 6050pts, and Nadal 6055pts.
I know the Nadal fans think there is not a possibility at all that this happens....but, what happens if Nadal loses 4th round and Roger wins the tournament? (I see you had the results if Roger lost 4th round and Nadal went on to win...so I want to see the point standings in the reverse scenario)... Just for fun...
