Topic: A little Bit of History has been made at Montreal

Today, it was announced by the ATP that it is the first time since rankings started in 1973 that all of the top eight  players have made it to the last eight of a tournament.

This happened at Montreal, when Roger Federer beat Stanislas Wawrinka last night.

The final eight, and top eight, are: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro, Andy Roddick, Nikolay Davydenko and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Did anyone see this? I thought it quite funny; how has it taken this long?! But I suppose that's just how tournaments are. And I didn't know that they didn't have rankings until 1973??

Wow, I'm really surprised that this has not happened in over 35 years. That's crazy.
