sandyinroyalblue 16,478 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Deserved number one but if there was any doubters left about the validity of his ranking then I think Andy just delivered a message that he is THE best tennis player on the planet.

AyeReadyStu 70 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I couldn't be happier to be more wrong. Djokovic just looked like he didn't want it anymore, played the completely wrong way and Murray did the right thing and tried to shorten the points when he could and it paid off. Unbelievable, congrats to him!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Murray now has a real chance to go on and dominate the game, something that I don't think any of us could ever have imagined even remotely possible. Djokovic will come back there is no doubt but Murray's confidence and belief are at an all time high. I genuinely believe by the time he retires he will be one of the greatest sportsmen of all time. He has a helluva lot still to do to get there but I think the next few years in particular will take him to another level. sandyinroyalblue and TEFTONG 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 547 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Happy for Andy. No 1 still. Happy that the real Djo did not turn up. I don't think the way he is playing, he would have got by big Milos. What has happened to Djo? Not much..........he just isn't Superhuman anymore. Still think he should donate some of that hair to Nadal! Andy has had to work his balls off for 3 Slams! A No 1 has a great chance now of adding to that with seedings etc. If he stays fit and injury free he may now start getting the icing on the cake to the extra slams. Be great to get up towards the Becker level with 6 I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a helluva lot still to do to get there but I think the next few years in particular will take him to another level. He's got a good chance to do so. Federer and Nadal are finished, relatively speaking, and Djokovic is unlikely to continue his dominance. The potential danger is one of the others taking the step up, or someone new coming through.

dummiesoot 16,005 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Next year I think we'll see Milos and Delpo coming through to challenge Andy and Novak. I don't think Kei's got the bottle to do anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,913 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Andy Murray plays every point as if it will be his last, his never say die attitude/focus/will to win and mental toughness allied to his fantastic skill makes him the complete package.

DavieMacRFC 850 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Big congratulations to Andy Murray, ran his heart out and made Djokovic look poor at times, well earned win and No 1 ranking.

Love how he chases everything, it's like his opponents are hitting the ball against a brick wall! Arise Sir Andrew ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeReadyStu 70 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'd love to see Murray go on and dominate the sport winning another 3-4 slams now, but a word of warning, Murray does turn 30 next year, and even the best of all-time haven't won much after turning 30.Slams won after turning 30, from players that have 3+ slams in the Open Era:Wawrinka 2 slams, Agassi 2, Connors 1, Federer 1, Newcombe 1, Sampras, 1, Borg 0, Edberg, 0 Becker 0, Lendl 0, McEnroe 0, Wilander, 0, Courier 0, Vilas 0, Kodes 0, Ashe 0, Kuerten, 0. So history isn't on Andy's side when it comes to winning more slams, therefore next year is pretty crucial for him in terms of his own legacy, if he doesn't win the Aussie or French next year, then history suggests he probably won't win them at all. If you want some good news however, Laver won all 4 (the Calendar Slam) at the age of 30, and Ken Rosewall won 4 slams after turning 33! Those two are very much anomalies though. dummiesoot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
