We're two-and-a-half months into the 2009 ATP season, and it's hard too say if Roger Federer will regain the No. 1 ranking, but I'd have to say I'm seriously leaning in the "no-way" direction.
And that would include beyond even this year.
Federer has played sparingly, to say the least, so far this season. He returned to action at Indian Wells this past weekend after taking several weeks off to rest a sore back. The ailment forced the Swiss icon to skip the lucrative event in Dubai and a Davis Cup encounter versus the host United States, as Switzerland wound up on the losing end (1-4) of that best-of-five affair in Alabama earlier this month.
