Andy Murray Number 1?

[zebo]

Djokavic has lost in Paris, if Murray reaches the Final, he'll be Number 1. Fingers crossed for him.

[murraymints]

That's ma boy !!!

[anneasquith]

It would be well deserved.

[jim360]

Still has to get the job done against Berdych, though! Already been broken once serving for the match, but has a second chance now.

[Pigletion]

Only one more game to go now!

[Sipowicz]

Well done Andy!

[Neveracrossword]

He's beaten Berdych!

[Cloverjo]

He's done it. Just one more match and he's no 1. What a star!

[jim360]

Yup, great job Murray. One more win would put him ahead of Djokovic by 5 ranking points -- when they both have about 11,000. Small margins!

[Cloverjo]

So who do we want him to face next? I'd hope for Tsonga. Raonic has a massive serve. I think he'd beat either of them, though.

[-SharonA-]

Ooo this is getting exciting, this race for number 1.

[jim360]

Nah, Raonic I'd have thought. Murray has beaten him 5 times this season and they've been almost easier each time. Tsonga... well, he blows hot and cold, but when he's hot, wow I wouldn't want to face him. Either way Murray is the favourite for sure, though.

[Old_Geezer]

Shurely shome mishtake ? Brits aren't any good at lawn tenez !

[-Talbot-]

Haven't I always said Murray would one day be number 1?

I'm a big fan of Andy's ... this is fantastic news.

[jim360]

You might have, and I probably didn't believe you -- simply thought that Djokovic was going to keep it off him, or Murray would lose form first. SO glad I was wrong! Djokovic's form has dipped in the second half of this year, and Murray has taken the opportunity brilliantly. Well-deserved... But still one more win to go, and year-end number 1 still won't be secured even if Murray wins here.

Best of luck to Murray today and tomorrow!

I can't help but wonder why being a top tennis player seems to necessitate being personality free.

[ummmm]

Sigh...not this again!

[douglas9401]

If only you'd stuck in at the tennis lessons, Baldric, you could have given us the definitive answer.

[murraymints]

balders see him in the streets of Dunblane where he grew up..surrounded by folk he knows and trusts... he is focused ...not personality challenged ..it is his job after all...

[anneasquith]

Really baldric? I think you and Andy share some traits, and it's not being a top tennis player !!!!!??! Lol

[Baldric]

And there was me relying on you for the answer Douglas.
