TO BE OR NOT TO BE NO. 1

And here we thought Novak Djokovic had solved his breathing problems.
They've certainly gotten better; he wouldn't be #3 in the world if they hadn't. But the weather here has been warm and dry enough that a certain amount of dust is flying, and Djokovic couldn't handle it.
That settles a lot of things. For starters, Roger (who now has benefited from retirements in two of his last five matches!) has clinched the #1 ranking through Roland Garros -- and, hence, the #1 French Open seed.

He still needs more to assure the #1 spot after Paris, but his odds are getting better.
