2009 - Nadal to go for a 90 win season?

Nadal just completed his first 80 win season to join a select few. He is just the 8th player in the last 25 years to accomplish this.

W-L Titles
2008 - Rafael Nadal 80-10 8
2006 - Roger Federer 92-5 12
2005 - Roger Federer 81-4 11
2001 - Lleyton Hewitt 80-18 6
1996 - Yev. Kafelnikov 80-25 4
1995 - Thomas Muster 86-18 12
1993 - Pete Sampras 85-16 8
1985 - Ivan Lendl 84-7 11
1984 - John McEnroe 82-3 13

If Nadal had not lost his fitness down the stretch, he might have accomplished the 90 win season this year.

I hope he does whatever he needs to do to allow him to finish 2009 without getting injured. It is a shame that he can't complete a single season when you compare with Lendl's 3 seasons in a row with 90 wins or more and Navratilova's 6 straight seasons with 80 wins or more.
