No surprise Fed and Serena take the top spots. The thing that has stood out about Federer for me is how insanely popular he is compared to his peers. When Andy Murray was facing Federer in the Wimbledon final and with a chance to be the first British man in what 70+years to win the title, the crowd was still mostly pro-Fed. The next year against Djokovic in the finals against Murray the crowd was what 90% Murray? It's not like Djoker was a slouch either in terms of popularity. Last year at the Rogers Cup when Shapo upset Nadal the crowd was what 90% pro Shapo, I often wondered if that match was played against Fed what the split would be. Federer no matter where he plays, it's always a home crowd anywhere in the world except Spain or Serbia. Congratulations to Federer well deserved GOAT! Now stop winning majors so Nadal can catch up!
