I used to think Murray could do it but he'sd playing like a wimp in the slams so I have to say NO. Mental shortcomings are often harder to overcome than physical shortcomings, often their is no solution for mental problems. You are born with guts or without guts. But Federer is retiring in a couple of years so I think Murray is the most likely world number 2 when that happens.
The entire media says "Federer and Murray has brains and all weapons. No one else has more than a weapon..". Brad Gilbert enjoyed that notion.
I guess the huge number of lucky matches and shaky boring tennis prove how laughable it is to deduce that these 3 destroy the ATP. The weakness of the field is still a fact.
Murray's biggest mountain will surely be Nadal. I think Federer has definately peaked & Djokivic flatters to deceive. If he can become stronger menatally then he has a chance, but It will be tough, as a fully fit Nadal is now the man to beat !
not this year, I mean he would need to win Montreal, Cincy and USO and WTF and Fed and Nadal would need to lose first rounds or something, how else would he take the #1 ranking this year?
oh sorry about that, I thought it's about #1 (woke up a short while ago )
well Nadal is defending heaps of points and is going to lose 800 points from the Olympics soon, that leaves a difference of about 200 points between them, so it's very likely that Murray could become #2 soon.
Got to cripple yourself once before you know what you can get away with. Happened to Venus back in 2001, she could hardly jump to hit the ball in her 6-1 6-1 loss to Hingis. Look at Venus now, abbreviated schedule and she's entering her 30s.
he will soon enough and the hata's will top themselves
