Why its Frederer over Nadal yada yada?

Frederer, with his 90's boy-band hairstyle, showing off his immense kung-fu
chop-style move without even looking at the ball. Picture from Wikipedia.

I'm very technical.
And my reasons are based on logical explanations.

Frederer, 28, held the #1 spot for a blistering 237weeks.

Nadal, his closest competitor is 23 yrs old. He's been #2 for a frustrating 160 weeks under Frederer's shadow. On Aug'08, Nadal took the #1 spot away from Frederer.

But is Nadal worthy enough to overshadow the great Frederer? Just think:

• Frederer, at 28, is probably past his best and Nadal, 5 years younger, is rightful to grab the #1 spot. But, after '09 Wimbledon, Frederer might reclaim the #1 spot again.
  
• So, the argument is: If Nadal is even as good as Frederer, why can't this bicep-pumping 23yr old defend his #1 spot against a 28yr old for even a year? Mind you, 5yrs difference is mega huge in this sport.

My predictions: Nadal will lose his #1 rank after '09 Wimbledon. Frederer will keep competing until probably 2010 and then retire. By then, Nadal would be happy that he'd have Frederer out of the picture. But, just as he wants to stay at the top spot, 22yr old Andy Murray will snatch it away from him. And come 2010, Murray could very well be the worthy successor of the great Frederer.

Why Murray will be the next greatness? Coz, just like Frederer, he doesn't make that Sharapova's constipating 'uuurrghh!' sound on every shot. Like Nadal does. So, go Murray GO!

Like I said, I'm very logical.
