ATP top 10 as of April 4:
1.(1) Rafael Nadal (Spain) 12,870
2.(2) Novak Djokovic (Serbia) 9,700
3.(3) Roger Federer (Switzerland) 8,550

" I know I had the best start of the season, no question about it. It's the best four months in my life," Djokovic said. "But it's only the start of the season. I think it's a bit early to talk about getting that top spot in the rankings. It's still quite a big difference. Rafa is definitely the best player in the world now. "
 
For Novak to get that top ranking he knows he needs to carry his early-season hard court form over to the European clay court season and beyond.
 
" If I want to have a shot at the number one ranking, I need to play consistently well throughout the whole year. We all know that clay court is his (Nadal's) favorite surface, but these wins are going to give me a big confidence boost for the upcoming clay court season. "
 
Rafa sees the situation differently given the Serbian's recent form.
 
" I think he's going to be no.1," he said. "I don't feel like he's breathing on my neck, but he won two tournaments in a row right now, very big tournaments and one grand slam. The normal thing is he will be number one in the next month and a half, two months. I don't know, it depends on my results on clay," said Nadal. "But I am going to fight for me. If I am solid, if I play a very good clay court season, we will see what the situation is afterward. "
