part of me wants Fed to squeeze into the year ender to keep the streak going, part wants not to so he can have more time to regroup and figure out what the hell his plans are now without a coach. sadly unlike the Flames, he can't just suck for a while and be reborn in a couple years with fresh ammunition. Father Time is cruel and evil.

the way novak is playing and winning these asian titles, he still has a chance as rafa has to at least make a few semi finals in basel and paris, and then win 2 matches at the WTF. rafa's chances are better but still novak is not out of the picture... just think back to those us opens in 2010 and 2011.
as for fed... he needs to regroup. forget the WTF, he's won a million of those and really there is not much prestige to that title as it comes at the end of the gruesome year.
