Andy needs to start shaping, I see that instead of just targetting the Grand Slams Roger fancies being the world number 1 for Xmas.

Because of Murray's fantastic end of year last year and the ranking points he has to defend, no way he'll end this year as No1.

Thinking about it, he probably needs to win the US Open, he only got to the QF's last year.

 

He won every tournament last year after the US Open.

His absences due to injury mean either Roger or Rafa is certain to be No 1 before the end of August.

An injury to Roger means that Rafa will be the world number one next week.

 

It looked as though 20 year old Zverev might be the next "star" to come through in his victory over Roger, but now knowing Roger was injured maybe not.

I know one thing, if I hear one more American say "Wimbleton", my big screen will be in danger.

 

Drives me fucking nuts.

The ex footballer pundits here drive me fucking mad they say Birminum and fucking Notinum imbeciles.

Watched Stuart Pearce on question of sport last night.

What a numb cunt- how's he managed big clubs?

Mostly very badly.

Rafa Nadal into semis at US Open. Potential collosal match with Federer if he wins later.

Murray out for the rest of the season. Needs to get right for next year, as I can't see him going on too much longer.

What real motivation does the happy-go-lucky fella have, though?

Leading Scotland to Davis Cup victory.

Apparently he could be down as low as world number 17 next year, due to his injury and poor form this year

But ranked at 17 with no points to defend, it makes it easier for a player of his undoubted quality to get back to the top.

 

Because the rankings are fundamentally flawed.

Indeed, if he gets anything like back to form, he'll roar back towards the top again.

 

I agree, the points system is definitely flawed

Nick kyrgios at it again. Why the hell don't they just ban him; or at least don't invite him to participate.

Its disappointing that there  still isnt a top quality youngster coming through.Zverev is the best of a poor bunch  up to 4 in the rankings  but he's got beat by Del Petro today, it's just a cake walk for Nadal and Federer right at the top.

 

Is it the end for Andy Murray as a top ten player ?

He does not seem to be able to get over this hip injury and may need an operation.

I really hope he can come back because he has been one of the best sportsmen we have ever produced.

talk of a hip replacement

 

thats a bit shitty

He's finished

 

Made enough money now to enjoy his life

 

Doesn't need to play

talk of a hip replacement

 

thats a bit shitty

 

if he needs a hip replacement, then he's done, it's a shame, but he's won the slams and been out greatest ever tennis player, we'll be waiting a long time for another with his talent to come along I think

Its not the way to go out. I'm fairly sure he'd have wanted a couple of years on tour winding slowly down. As it is, he's going to finish at the peak of his career. Which is nice in a way, frustrating in another.

 

I can see him playing again (unless he needs the full op) but not really ever competing again. 

on the upside, he gets to spend more time in bed with kim
