Re: Djoker hasn't defended a single title yet!

To be fair to Djoker, he has won 'only' 10 titles so far and started
winning
'only' in 2006, but it is remarkable that he has failed to defend any
of the
7 titles he had a chance to defend.
Another remarkable piece of trivia is that he won 5 titles in 2007 but
has
won just 3 this year (won 2 in 2006). He hasn't won anything since
winning in Rome (when both Fed and Rafa went out in flukes to others).
Since he was touted as the one to beat on HC, his 2nd-half slump is
even more remarkable than Rafa's better-than-expected showing.
His 2009 will show whether he peaked in 2007!

It takes a special player to defend big titles. Only Fed/Nadal have shown
the ability.
