Phu... Why would it be Djokovic? By the time one of them wins a grand slam Andy will be so trained, all the other will looks like harmless little flies. Whistle

The first will probably be Andy actually. I believe he is the player that has what it takes to stay at the top longer. I do not think Federer or Nadal will relent in GS's for the next 3-4 years, it;s only after that that Federer's dominance will end and Djoko and Murray will be competing for titles.

I think Andy first...Nole looks a bit brittle and although he has the talent looks to be in a hurry too much. Ralf is totally beatable and prone to breaking down on the hardcourts and Club Fed looks to be on the slide too and I think we'll start to see his strangehold on the slams diminish.

I think Andy and I believe many other players think so as well.  Yes, Nole has become the dominant young player we all hoped Andy would be but whose to say he wouldn't have done better at RG and Wimbledon or the USO than Djoko did? if it weren't for his injury, it would've been a great battle for No3 in the world between AM and ND.  Just before the USO, Federer was asked the question about all the young players.  He replied aong the lines; everyone thought it would be Murray.......who knows what he would have done at RG or Wimby if he was fit.  Him saying that says alot about what he thinks of AM (although he prefers Gasquets game).

Federer often praises Andy and talks about his ability to progress. I think he sees a little of himself in Andy (variety of his game, young head on his shoulders, current inconsistency- all characteristics of Federer at 20).

And I agree that Federer's dominance is slipping. He will be No 1 for quite some time to come but he is looking vulnerable more often than he was 12 months ago. I do think that (other than Rafa on clay) someone soon will slip in a win against him at slam level.
