Rafa is looking for his 1st Asian title since winning the Olympics in Beijing.
He will finish 2010 and the #1 ranked player.
Rafa currently leads the tour with 6 titles on the year & a W/L of 59-7.
By the way, he has yet to reach 100 losses in his ATP career: 460-98.
Rafa is the 3rd man to regain the year-end #1: Lendl in '89 & Federer in '09.
He is also the 9th man to finish the year at the top more than once:
Sampras, Federer, Connors, Lendl, McEnroe, Borg, Edberg, Hewitt.
In 13 tournaments played in '10 he has only failed to make the Sf's 3 times.
Here is a recap of his 2010:
Titles: Monte Carlo, Rome, Madrid, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open
Runner-up: Doha
Semifinalist: Indian Wells, Miami, Toronto
Quarterfinalist: Australian Open, Queens Club, Cincinnati
In January who would have guessed he'd have this kind of year.
Well done Rafa.
