Djokovic beat Mardy Fish, as predicted, to close gap on Rafael Nadal for the No. 2 spot in the world. Nadal is on shaky grounds right now as his lead over Djokovic is 415 points. Federer increased his lead but with the way he is playing there is no question the No. 1 spot is up for grabs. If Federer is suffering from mono, you can expect him to struggle for at least a few months, which means he could head into the U.S. Open with no titles! That would not be good enough for him to hold his top spot, especially if Nadal and Djokovic win the big tournaments. All of a sudden, it seems the curse of Pete Sampras is slowing Federer down.
