He is certainly capable of top 4 next year. Where is he ranked now?

No doubt he's the danger man nobody will fancy playing especially the top seeds drawing him early doors.. 

38 but I don't think he's defending many points early doors.

From what I can see he's defending 410 points between now and August.

JMDP broke his finger in the fourth set against Cilic. I really feel for him if points were awarded for Davis Cup and Olympics he would be top 20.  He is currently 38th and unlikely to make a seeding in the Australian Open.  There really could be some stinky draws in the Australian Open.  You think Djokovic would like this?

1st Round Verdasco, 2nd Round Del Potro, 3rd Round Querrey 4th Round Federer, QF Nishikori, SF Wawrinka, F Murray

Of course you have Federer who is sitting on 16th in the World who will drop 150 points before the Australian Open likely taking him out of the top 16.  Some really stinky draws could happen, but it will mean some spectacular games early on.  Certainly has the potential for a great grand slam already.

Was on the same flight down to London on Sunday as the Murray brothers. Apparently were up for their dad's stag do. Couple of absolute gents.

No surprise, they're as grounded as you're going to be as top level sports stars.

Been getting a bit of a semi about the potential for a few early doors heavy weight clashes too.. Like you say with Federer potentially dropping out of the top 16 ahead of Oz, Murray or Djokovic could conceivably end up with all of Nadal, Federer and Del Potro in their quarter. Ouch.

A protected ranking only allows you automatic entry into the main draw.  So Del Potro for instance was able to use protected ranking status to get automatic entry into the main draw when his world ranking was 1000 or so.  As Federer's ranking is high enough to allow automatic entry and still be seeded, a protected ranking doesn't apply to him.
