errr Lou, that was from a different thread.

Djokovic has completely owned Del Potro, but I give Del Potro a good chance of beating him as well.

By the way, DP will not be #1 next year. I'd bet against it.

injuries set him back

A)His name is del Potro.

B)He is very far. del Potro is a top 10 hard court player but on other surfaces I wouldn't mark him elite. He didn't go deep into any of the majors this year.

"Del Petro" sure is awesome

Way overhyped. I heard of Delp Potro but not Petro.

MagicDiceFlow · 06-20-12, 04:23 PM

DP will never be number one. All the top 3, Djoker/Rafa/Fed and even Andy Murray in addition to awesome groundstrokes/return game possess that other absolute necessity which is speed. That's why guys like Berdych and Del Potro will never break the top 3 until one of those other steps down. Delpo is a stiff puppet.

MUHerd37 · 06-20-12, 04:31 PM

Del Potro would have a better chance than Murray. Murray will never win a grand slam. Del Potro already has one and could win more if he gets some help.

yisman · 06-20-12, 04:50 PM

Murray is a better player.

If you were setting odds on which player will win a GS next, I'd gladly wager on Murray. Want to do it?

Tell me how we would do it exactly? Give me some odds. I just don't think Murray will ever win a grand slam. Not sure that Del Potro can win another. Needs help.

yisman · 06-20-12, 04:59 PM

What odds would you give me on Murray?

Next time one of them wins a major, if there is a next time, the loser would pay. Unless you want to post up.

MUHerd37 · 06-20-12, 05:04 PM

I find it difficult to come up with my own odds to be honest. Not good at that kind of shit. What kinds of odds were u thinking? Murray +200 or +300 or so?

yisman · 06-20-12, 05:14 PM

ok +200 is good

Optional · 06-20-12, 05:16 PM

Why would Murray be the underdog in that matchup?

Although I do think Delpo is the bet. Simply because Murray will never win one

This.

Murray is a much better player.

You answered your own question.

Nobody believes Murray has it in him.

Murray would be the underdog against Tsonga too, at least on this forum.

I think Murray is too good. He'll eventually win one. Maybe he'll need things to fall his way but he's certainly capable of beating Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic, and who knows, maybe within the next few years it'll happen that he can go all the way without facing any of them.

Ok Murray +200 it is. How much you wanna risk? 500 for 1000 is about the most I could do for ya. What about the odds for Del Potro? -180 or so?
