It is tidally locked with the earth that's why it's rotation meets its revolution.

Mercury is so close to the sun that it's becoming tidally locked as well. It's rotation is 58.6 days and it's orbit 88 days.

Few more billion years.

That's not true. Anything that has mass has gravity. Rotation doesn't affect it.
