I think the next number one is N.Djokovic for sure, he is brillant and patience

rafa will be no.1. he has been no.2 for three consecutive years now and still has the fiery determination to excel. vamos rafa!

Rafa deserves to be the next number 1. He was ahead as the 2007 year number 1 for the first half of the year until he had injury worries. I think he has proven that he is a worthy number 1 of the future. As Mary Eileen said he has been number 2 now for 3 consecutive years, a record in itself. I hope he makes the final at the Australian Open next year and has an injury free season in 2008. Vamos Rafa....I think you are awsome....

You are my hero.

Hi Sharee let's hope and pray Rafa tops at the Australian open.

In order to be number 1 Rafa must first and foremost believe in himself 100%. He must think positively all the time that he's going to be number one. It's like letting the "law of attraction" work for him. Especially during a match, he must not think negative thoughts and let his mental strength rise above his physical strength.
