bluenose_72 198 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 if he stays injury free he will be in the top 6 at the end of this year. hopefully he can now start reaching the quarters of grand slams and winning more atp titles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_beam 2 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Lost the 1st set 6-1 this afternoon then romped to 6-0 2nd set and finished the 3rd 6-1 Can't stand him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGer 1 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm not too fussy about him. Its exciting to see him doing well but I hope he will keep his feet on the ground and have his manners in line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its exciting to see him doing well but I hope he will keep his feet on the ground and have his manners in line. i think his injury has changed the way he approaches things now. once he came back from his injury he was taking one match at a time, not getting carried away and consistently playing great tennis which saw him end the year 11th in the world, which is very impressive for someone who missed 2 grand slams!

Muff 245 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Reaches the final of the Qatar Open after beating Nikolay Davydenko. If he can remain injury free then this will be a big season for him! Money on a Top 5 finish! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose_72 198 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 he'll play wawrinka in the final. davydenko was awful at the end of last season but lets hope murray can claim his first title of the season before going into the aussie open!

Zander222 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Should be a good final, Wawrinka holds a 2-0 head to head vs Murray, but there last meeting was almost 2 years ago and Murray has come on leaps and bounds since then. I strongly fancy Murray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Andy Murray to finish inside Top 5 in 2008- 17/1 Andy Murray to win Wimbledon in 2008- 25/1 £10 on both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 17/1 thats feckin great odds! outside the top 3, the rest of the top 10 is up for grabs. davydenko and roddick have been struggling, ferrer had a late surge last season, have to wait and see if he can keep that up. gasquet is a hit or a miss so all murray has to do is be consistent and start to get further in grand slams and he is a real contender for the top 5. look how far djokovic came on last season, hopefully murray can replicate that in some way!

Zander222 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Murray takes the Qatar Open Title after a 6-4 4-6 6-2 win over Wawrinka. Should move him up to 9th in the rankings, and he's now 1st in the ATP race regardless of results elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

l.mcg 1 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 17/1 is great odds. Murray's form was top four form last year, in fact and if it wasn't for his injury he would've done it. I agree with bluenose 72. As for wimbledon, his odds should be about 40/1. Rafa, Roger and the big servers will take a miracle to beat. Watch out for a young American big server at this year's Wimbledon. He could cause an upset. I bet his odds will be 40 or 50/1. Not that I bet but he's the best bet,lol. His name is John Isner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose_72 198 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 isner was the only person to take a set off federer at last years us open. now although he wont win it, hes a good bet to cause a few upsets. since he is about 6ft10 he has a monster serve and it will be hard for many of the top players to break it but he against federer he made too many unforced errors. he was missing some easy shots at the net and it seemed as though he lacked control of his groundstrokes with many of them going wide. certainly one to watch though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zander222 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Don't think Isner will be much of a threat. Has a decent serve on him but last year he didn't even win a Challenger title (the level of competition below the ATP tour that he plays in mostly). His serve will couse a few problems though.

KERRZO 5 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 First of all well done to Murray on winning in Qatar. I am sure he'll be at least top 6 by the end of 08. Also players to watch out for in 08: Mario Ancic (if he can get his fitness back, currently ranked in the mid 80's) Paul Henri-Mathieu Jo-Wilfried Tsonga Donald Young Nicolas Mahut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
