    Murray Will Be Number 1 Within 1 Year

    I thought Del Potro would be the new number 1 but watching Murray he has the whole package and unreal court speed. Fed was hammering the corners and Murray got to most of him. If he won third set I think he would of won match.

    I think Fed holds on to #1 until atleast Wimbledon 2011... after that he may start to break down too much.

    1st off even if he pulls out that tie breaker no chance he takes another 2 sets in a row.
    Fed will be #1 til he shuts it down. What else does he need to do to convince you??

    So, you have been following Fishhead from a far now you start posting and choose a name very similar to his to pay him homage?

    Nadal will be back once healthy but my sleeper is Muhammad Ali's illegitimate son that Tsonga kid. He's a physical specimen. He's lacking experience and finesse but give him a year and he's going to dominate the field. He's been hampered with a bunch of injuries the past 4 or 5 years but if he get's in shape and stays healthy, I think he can move up from #10 to 1 or 2.

    So because Murray lost in straights to Fed you think he is worthy of being the next #1?

    Fed is lucky to have 1 solid year left. The age is going to become a factor against these young guns.

    He still looks sharp but in Tennis once your skills start to drop they go fast.

    I love Nedal, but JJ does have a point. Guy has a complete game. We shall see...don't forget about this thread. Next year it will make you look like a genius if you're right!

    He had a lil lul last year. Seemed like he was getting bored. Now he's runnin over people again. I think he can go until he gets bored again. Maybe get to like 20 Grand Slams and call it a career. I'm not really disagreeing about Murray being the next great star just saying Fed is the best ever and is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone. He won in straight sets. Not like this was an epic 5 set match or anything. Fed was barely tested the whole match. He'll go out as the #1 player in the world and then Murray and hopefully a healthy Nadal can fight it out.

    Murray will win a major within the next 12 months but it would take something a bit special for him to move upto number 1 within that period. At best number 2 within that period then number 1 within a further 12 months.

    What about Murray's serve? He doesn't have a great serve at all.

    I suppose it depends upon the matchup, but yes, you have a point. I've always thought a dominating serve depended much more upon the opponents abilities return (barring some of the all-time greats). Murray is basically an intelligent player who thinks ahead which makes his style unique. He certainly isn't as flashy as some of the others, but if he ever gets it all together, watch out.

    in what world will murray be no.1? first off, this is not the wta, if you dont have any grand slam titles you dont get to be number 1.

    having said that, murray and rafa are roughly the same age and murray has no grand slams while rafa has 6

    even del potro and djokovic have won a grand slam

    this guy is not worthy of the no.1 spot, he has done nothing special in his career, he is far from the best, the only reason he was in the final was nadal being striken by bad luck and persistent injuries

    also he is a choker, and a wuss, his best strategy is to pretend to be injured by holding different parts of his body an grunting and complaining, so he plays dead to catch his opponent off guard, this guy is a joke, he did this today too but he was just too little for fed

    oh and today he didnt even touch federer, fed just breezed by him like he was another punkass player

    Yeah I agree that he is very intelligent and he has a playing style that he feels will win and it does miost of the time, but i think he needs a bigger serve to compete with the bigger guys in the grand slams.

    I actually agree with JJ, here.

    Nadal is done at the very top level, IMHO. He played way too much when he was younger and his knees will never be the same. Some might mention the more drug testing stringent prcedures too (I am not convinced about that).

    Djokovic is too flaky.

    Del Potro is too lazy.

    That just leaves Federer. Despite winning three of the last four majors and reaching the last eight grand slam finals, I don´t think he is at the same level as he was three years ago. Turn the clock forward a year and he will be 29. For me Murray will have overtaken him by then.

    Last year at this time when Raffa won the Australian, everyone wrote Fed off...proclaiming the new age of tennis with Nadal...

    I'd caution you not to make the same mistake this year...

    of coarse, people have goldfish brains, they just go with whats hot

    just because fed was in a slump they rushed to say his career was over

    now just because nadal is having some injury problems people are saying he is don4

    even they guy who made the thread, he admits when del potro won the us open he said he was gonna be no1, just because he won a major, now he is dismising him just because of a loss and saying murray is the next number one just because of a run to the final

    :/

    I don't know much about Tennis so I can't point it out exactly - but whenever I watch Murray, it seems that there's always something, that one little thing, missing.

    Murray is mentally far far away from Federer or Nadal.

    He has a great hand, but that's not enough....he can be compared to Safin for example...still, he has many years to improve

    Unless Federer, Nadal and Djokovic take the year off - this is the worst statement since that guy who had the lock of the lifetime in sports on Federer-Murray going over 3 sets at -300.


    If you use logic and actually look at the rankings you'll realize that Murray will need to have a helluva year to even get to #3.

    Did anyone watch the match??

    Murray played pretty well, a few points here and there and he wins

    Most of games were long

    Gold until the guy wins a Slam, he's not a threat. This isn't like the women's side where you can F around, not win Slams and be #1 because Serena doesn't win a lot of tourneys outside of the Slams.

    I watched it.
    Fed is better. Hands down.
    All matches are decided by a few points here or there, thats a horribly weak argument.
    Murray never threatened to take a set til the last 1.
