He was the last man standing because he was the smartest with his scheduling. All the other top players should learn a thing or two from the Maestro about that. Skipping tournaments is a must during that long ass season. That's why Djokovic broke down and will again next year if he tries to defend every tournament he won .. IMO. Rafa has learned some on this aspect, but I suspect still doesn't get enough rest throughout the year - especially when he picks up an injury. Guys have to say fukk rankings. Look at DelPo. He was out for almost a year and rebuilt his ranking rather quickly. You don't have to play every week to keep your ranking up and it's all about Slams at the end of the day.
