Which of the following would you consider the most exciting meeting:

A) Nadal vs. Djokovic (for obvious reasons as they are undeniably considered the Top 2 Men)

B) Nadal vs. Murray (They haven't met in the past two years or so and during that time, both won two Grand Slams)

C) Nadal vs. Wawrinka (for Revenge or Confirmation)

D) Federer vs. Wawrinka (Big Dog vs. Underdog.....or is it?)

A)- particularly at the French Open Final should they meet, the ultimate grudge match.
But with Wawrinka now ranked Number 3 - he could meet either Nadal or Djokovic in a Semifinal now, I am particularly interested in Joker gaining revenge after the AO on Stan.

This is still a good match up, maybe at Wimbledon again?
FWIW Stan the Man may have made a breakthrough, but is still untested whether he will go on with this and not just be another 1 Slam wonder, ala Delpo.
The likes of Joker and Murray have been in Semis and Finals of Majors for many years, and have 8 Grand Slam titles between them.
It must be remembered Murray has dropped out of the Top 4 now - and now must work really hard to get back in there so he can't meet Nadal or Djokovic before the Semi finals of tournaments.
Delpo vs Nadal is another good match up in any tournament, and he has snuck back into Number 4.

This is a no-brainer for me. Would love to see Rafa and Wawrinka meet in Paris this spring.

By the way, del Potro sitting at #4 is another joke. The guy couldn't even make it past Round 2 in the last two Slams...

Delpo was also a Wimbledon semi-finalist and had a great Asian swing in the fall (remember him taking out Nadal in Shanghai?)- that gave him many points.
He has now equalled his previous career high ranking.
But agree, he has disappointed at the last 2 Majors - particularly AO - I saw him live in Sydney and he looked the goods against our own Bernard Tomic in January, but could not carry that on to Melbourne.

People are complaining about Ferrer's and now Del Potro's high ranking. If not they, who should be up there? Numbers don't lie.
