I agree. I'm not sure what Novak is doing by ratcheting down his schedule so significantly. We've seen time and time again that you can't just dabble at being a top player on tour, especially when your top competition is 15-20 years younger.
If you aren't at the very least playing all of the 1000 level events and a few tune ups, you are just going to be way off of the level required mentally to win a slam when it rolls around.
Maybe he shuts me up and wins the FO and Wimbledon, but I wouldn't bet on it the way he's going now...maybe he lost the fire as soon as it became clear he was going to come out on top of the Roger/Rafa/Novak major title battle.
