He's too good an athlete to be bogged down by the pundetry politics of national labels. Swing yer racket son, your legacy will take care of itself. Title: Re: andy murray again Post by: Nem on September 03, 2006, 11:44:27 PM He will not win a slam event within the next 5 years. But he is very very good

;) Title: Re: andy murray again Post by: Ironside on September 04, 2006, 12:13:37 AM i think he will win a slam event but he wont win a slam
i think he might win the aussie open in 2008 i dont think he will win the french or wimbledon in his carear though aussie and the US opens are well away from europe and the UK press they are also in different time zones so that many brits wont know he is into the semis in the aussie till after he has played it Title: Re: andy murray again Post by: thetank on September 04, 2006, 12:14:42 AM The blondes will know.

Nadal will dominate tennis in the coming years. Just as soon as his clay game transfers to grass and hard court.

He will have to do something special to get past these guys. And there is also another problem for him in the coming years, Monfils. He is awesome.
I think he will win alot in his career but the hype is over the top. Other players who are often overlooked include Nalbandian and Safin. Those two guys are gifted. Baghdatis and Roddick are handy as well. It is going to be tough to beat these guys. |
