Yes, you're right for all but the very best, a great year is often only a matter of months. <BR/><BR/>But the benchmark for me is Roger in 2004, 2006, & 2007, where he began the year by winning the Australian, dominated throughout the season on all surfaces (apart from clay?) winning 3 slams and finishing the year with the Master's Cup. <BR/><BR/>The very definition of a great year!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599753565929722756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890412901601522653.post-3181083666024778542008-12-22T01:48:00.000+00:002008-12-22T01:48:00.000+00:00Hey Steve!I can't wait for the David Ferrer award....Hey Steve!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait for the David Ferrer award. No one's jumping out as a sure thing right now, although I have some ideas. Maybe Tsonga or del Potro for making it to the YEC? Or F-Lo and/or Verdasco for winning the DC final on Argentine soil? Jankovic for refusing to admit that she's not supposed to be as good as she is?<BR/><BR/>I'm wishing you a great holiday and all the best for the New Year - looking forward to your posts!freakyfriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849509797502704715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890412901601522653.post-37637041932577812662008-12-21T21:55:00.000+00:002008-12-21T21:55:00.000+00:00Hi Steve.Agreed Nadals winning streak was closer t...Hi Steve.<BR/><BR/>Agreed Nadals winning streak was closer to 4 months. But isn't that true of most 'great years' (that they involve both a ramp up as well as a period of tailing off)?<BR/><BR/>Sorry - now I'm being churlish!<BR/><BR/>I've got a couple of players in mind worthy of the David Ferrer award - but I'm going wait for your post....Zafarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909444215193865334noreply@blogger.com
