[QUOTE="forder89, post: 2212129, member: 769095"] players gain points at tournaments they play and only keep them for a year until the same tournament comes around the next year. federer won wimbledon which is 2000 points, so he will have 2000 points come off his tally after wimbledon and then however well he does this year will determine how many points he gets back. nadal however did not play last year so he will have 0 points coming off his total after the tournament and every match he wins he actually gains points for his total. basically the best federer can hope for is to win wimbledon and keep his 2000 points, leaving him on 8525. nadal is on 8745, so if he goes out in round 1 he will be on 8755 and fed will have a real chance at getting #1 back. realistically though, nadal will go far in the tournament, and increase the gap on federer so it will be tough for fed to regain #1. but then there a few masters 1000 events coming up where federer has lots of points to gain because he did so poorly in them last year, like at the rogers cup or paris. he could also get a lot of points at the US open and world tour finals, but even if federer does really well in the next few months it would take a few bad results from nadal for federer to overtake him. :):):) [/QUOTE]
