End of an era.

It’s not impossible… he just needs a REALLY good couple of years. I believe in him

Edit: ah, it’s consecutive weeks… well looks like old jimmy is starting over from scratch. I still think he has a shot though

The last time Nadal was out of the top 10, Messi hadn't scored his first goal for Barcelona yet, and YouTube was 2 months old.
