Robsk II Posted 15 August, 2009 Share Posted 15 August, 2009 Yes. Putting aside any of that Scots v English rubbish, great achievement. First Britain to reach such a rank since the current system was established in the early seventies, and no-one other than Nadal or Federer had been in #1 or #2 since 2005. Good work Murray.

Ponty Posted 16 August, 2009 Share Posted 16 August, 2009 Another masters to add to his growing collection. Just one thing missing now. Charisma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambosa75 Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 Charisma? Because thats served Samprass and Federer so well hasnt it? He'll get the major soon enough as there are 2 majors a year on his best surface. People assume because he's British his best surface must be grass but his hard court game is the best in the world which is reflected in his ranking. The US Open is do-able but I reckon the Aussie Open next season will be his best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisobee Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 Charisma? That as well as a Grand slam title I guess though you could hardly say someone like Bjorn Borg had charisma and as above more recently Sampras and Federer. Not everyone can be a McEnroe or a Connors and though the British seem to love gallant failures ( Tim Henman for example) for the athlete in any sport it's clearly better to be a "boring" winner than a loser with charisma In fact I'd say it's the mixture of personalities in all sports really that enables those with charisma to stand out.

Scummer Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 Rankings don't always reflect ability. As shown by the women's rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlehead Posted 17 August, 2009 Share Posted 17 August, 2009 And will he smile about it (or indeed anything)? Will he b*llocks, the miserable tw*t. I hope he gets stuffed in every match he plays in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets stuffed in every match he plays in. Guess you don't watch tennis then, if so you will miss the obvious and he didn't get stuffed in this latest tournement. Maybe you should watch him before passing your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
