Andy Murrayby rossco190 (U3743822) 07 January 2007  Andy Murray's stunning uprise through the World Rankings hit a dead end on the 6th January where he lost out in the Qatar Open Final against Ivan Ljubicic (Croatian). Although he still tipped to become a world class player by the end of they year, yet the bookies are staying put on Andy Murray making a suprise win at Wimbledon. Andy Murray is expected to hit within the top 10 by the end of the Spring season to some people such as Ivan Ljubicic, whether that happens or not is still to be seen.

uncannytennispro (U7064823) posted Jan 8, 2007 The tournament he got to the final in was not really lavished with the current Top 20. Fortunately for the Scot it was only over 3 sets. I would like to see how he fairs in the Masters Tournaments and the GS's. He places too much an emphasis on his current age / physical shape when other players younger than him have already proved it can be done, Becker for instance and most notably of recent years Nadal.

Sean1986 (U3816686) posted Jan 8, 2007 Of course he will make top 10. Up until wimbledon he will only have to defend the points for his win in san jose and 2 other quarter finals. Last season he just made the first or second round in every other tournament apart from these 3. Therefore he has hardly any points to defend up until june

Mindgamesgirl (U7066451) posted Jan 8, 2007 Has he announced what his goal for the year is? Surely it has to be at least a passing top 5 place, not a top 10, which he needs to get it in the next 6 months to be confident of finishing the year in the top 10.

gtaak1 (U3997541) posted Jan 9, 2007 Yes,Its always a big achievement for a BRITON to reach the top ten,but to be counted as a really great player one has to win at least two Grand Slams.

dummy_half (U3864728) posted Jan 9, 2007 Murray is the best young British player for about 50 years (Henman took longer to reach the level Murray is now). Top 10 looks very likely, and given that his game is pretty solid on all surfaces, he could get up to the top 5 or so based on consistency (as with players like Davydenko). Also he has a pretty good record against the guys currently in the top 10, having beaten most of them (other than Nadal and Ljubicic?)

svizzera (U7075422) posted Jan 9, 2007 hi twinkles i feel it is slightly to early to begin declaring that AM lacks something in his tennis to truly do well. if one takes Federer as an example he only started to really begin to dominate in 2003 when he won his first grandslam at 22 giving Murray another 2 years to show his quality at least.
