He should change his name from Lleyton to Lay-Down. He just hasn't got it for the big time stuff anymore. He should stick to non-events like the Hopman and Davis Cups. That is all his games is suited for.

There is one major omission from this list: Stan Wawrinka. Surely his match against Djokovic would have to be the most heroic effort ever seen on a tennis court. He didn't fail at all, his opponent was just that litlte bit better on the day!

Azarenka should have been given 100 acres of land at chernobyl for her win at the open. After cheating and then winning cheaply over an injured player this is all she deserves.
