[jjgold]

JJ you know the game

Thanks

Hey he beat Nick the dikk today.If he can beat Berrentini tomm he might be seeded for wimbledon!

[Brock Landers]

What happened to Murray?

Hip injury, he accomplished a ton for a while

[pavyracer]

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.

What happened to Murray?

[Seto]

I think Murray win 2 grand slams after I started this thread

Tsonga a failure his whole career

Yeah and he's still only 27 so I guess he has time.

Tsonga has become such a joke it's sad. Him and Berdych are the 2 biggest jokes on tour as of now.

[Seto]

I'd probably rather win the GS, but the truth is it's more difficult to maintain excellence over a year (consistently reaching semis), than it is to win one GS tournament.


Before Federer/Nadal/Djokovic took over, you had several guys win a major without ever being number 1, and recently we've had del Potro and Murray.

I somewhat agree but seeing Wozniacki be world number 1 for basically 2 years reaching 1 grand slam semi and 0 finals in those 2 years completely discredited the whole concept of being #1 for me (and people like Federer and Serena would agree with me). Not to mention all the other series of losers we had as #1s (Ivanovic, Jankovic...) Now I understand that's the WTA and only big time guys have been #1 in the ATP in recent memory but still, to me the rankings are pretty much just what determines who gets easier draws in slams.

Still waiting on this and the other thread:

It wasn't whether Murray will win a grand slam. I thought that was pretty obvious, and I said he would.

It was whether he'd be number 1. Much more difficult than winning a grand slam.

Looks like it may never happen for Andy.

I'm not too upset about it tbh, winning slams is way more important than being #1. The whole concept of being #1 was kinda ruined when we had a succession of losers being #1 in the WTA 3-5 years ago. I guess it still somewhat has prestige in the mens' game but I'd rather win 1 slam and be #3 for the year than make 3 slam finals and win 3 Masters 1000 and be #1 for the year (random example).

Andy was number 2 in spring 2013

[homie1975]

Djoko had 5 of his 6 slams while Andy was getting 2. Rafa had 4 of his 13 slams during that time

[yisman]

Murray was number 2 (behind Federer) in August 2009. He was 22 years old at the time.

Yes, I am aware of that. Please re-read what I wrote.

[rankslash]

Since you posted this four years ago, I don't think he's been ranked higher than third.

del Potro was never ranked higher than fourth.

nole?

I like Murray and Djokovic the most because of what they have proven and because of their age.

Del Potro and Cilic could be up there, but the next year should tell the story.

Then there will be new youngsters on the rise.

bumping my old Djokovic posts.

don't sleep on Djokovic. I'm feeling a breakthrough one of these days.

Maybe Ball covers, but I see Djoker advancing deep.

Shari you love gossip

I also do not know where you are telling people am fukkin you

I AM NOT...well not yet

Djokovic and his best mate (and best man at his wedding) Murray will have some interesting battles over the next 12 months for sure, they will probably pull away now. Murray needs to overcome his choking in slam finals but if he can do this he can start to establish himself as number 1 in time. Djokovic may take time to regain his level, Nadal may never regain it and Fed. is probably behind the curve right now. Interesting times.

Not his best man. Silly rumour. But I do think Murray has a good chance of becoming #2 unless Nadal pulls it together.

From his press conference today:

Q. Rumors that Djokovic is going to have his wedding very soon and named you as the best man of his wedding.
ANDY MURRAY: No, he hasn’t. I don’t know where that came from.

Q. That’s not true?
ANDY MURRAY: No.

I might be a 1yr off

He is COMING

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Murray only played about 2 more good tournaments the entire rest of the year :-) Pretty much tanked the rest.

He was actually nearer in Wimbledon 2009 - was only two matches away from number 1 then. Now with Nadal back and hoovering up 5k points on clay alone, it's basically impossible for anyone else to pass him.

[yisman]

jj, considering Murray hasn't even really moved up in the rankings since then, I'd say you were off by a lot.
