Andy Murray.

[Paulus]

Who plays at Chesterfield?

Well done Andy, we never doubted you.

Probably not the best way to get to the top, but when you look back at the hard graft that has been put in over the years, you can see why he's No1.

 

[Oxo]

Murray ought to be the best in Scotland, he has his own field to play on.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I don't know what the fuss is about, he's not even the first in his family to get to number 1.

Murray is playing in the strongest era of men's tennis, gradually his competitors have started to fall away and those coming through now are nowhere near the same level. Obviously it's speculation, but had his career started 2 or 3 years earlier (or later) I reckon he'd be in double figures for slams by now.

I always thought the strongest era in Tennis was the late 70's into the mid 80's.
Not to take away the remarkable efforts of todays stars I hasten to add

Try mid to late 60's. Rod Laver in a class of his own and would be in any era. Murray would simply be making up the numbers.

I don't know enough about tennis in that era,but I do know that Rod Laver was quite the class act of that time

Think of me as a modern-day Richard Sears
