Sub you're being a little harsh. No full ATP tour title is tinpot, this is a dog eat dog tour and we shouldn't let Fed's (and more recently, Rafa's) ability to win so consistently cloud that. Look down at the guy behind Murray, if you can see that far down.
Murray is already a great player in contemporary terms, but for sure to take a place in history, slams are needed. It seems to me that he's done his apprenticeship, and these will be forthcoming.
Masters, incidentally, are not at all tinpot titles, and he's won the last two of these.

Fantastic win today, I didn't watch any of it as I was out travelling but the result really says it all. He did what he came to do and the performance this week was very workmanlike, he got the job done effortlessly with no thrills or spills, very efficient. Points are safe, now for even bigger things next week with the grand finale still to come. Great times

muzza is the real deal make no mistake - currently he is a part of the big four - all be it Arsenal. However, like the Gunners he is young and improving all the time. Get in there the Adebayor of tennis!

[quote]But he's got to start reaching Grand Slam finals on a regular basis following that US Open final appearance,[quote]

Oh WAKE UP! Since his impressive run of form that has seen him take back to back masters titles, he has only appeared in ONE grand slam tournament. The U.S Open final, where he beat Nadal and got to the final!

For the record I'm saying that he won't be runner up in the AO 2009. He is going to win it.

Andy Murray is genuinely the fourth best tennis player in the world,and that is a great achievement.He has a very effective service and a lot of control.He can go to the next level by producing winners on a regular basis.He has a game to beat anybody and has proved that by beating everybody.What I would like to see is that when the top 3 in the rankings are in their best form and not making mistakes,he can beat them . We will then have a truly great champion.He has plenty of time to do this, I hope he does.

Sandcastle, I could challenge that, but I'm not going to encourage the football boarders to hijack Chumba's tennis articles.

Once again, superb win for Murray today, and for those posters who have been belittling his triumph, the one thing he would have prayed for this week with Paris & Shanghai coming up is that he had straightforward 2 set matches...job done, roll on.

foscari, yes he has time, but it's only the ATP rankings that have him as #4, to my mind he's the 3rd best player in the world.

Congrats Andy and keep up the great play. You are representing this nation completely on your own and to be honest, at the age of 43 and having loved tennis since the days of a young Borg, I am astonished by your rise to the top over the past year. You are superb.
