Since when did that ever happen? Really is well out of younger brother's shadow and truly a world class doubles player. or, alternatively, a gallant nearly but not quite British loser stereotype..............................

eddie Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Andy Murray now within 2 wins of becoming world no 1. Just watched him play an amazing tie-break to win the first set against Berdych, coming from 6-1 down to win 11-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konta doing none too shabby in the women's elite b too, cementing herself as top 10, quite a staggering rise up the rankings; awarded most improved ladies player.

The most staggering statistic is that in his last 12 tournaments, he has reached 11 finals. That's Federer or Djokovic at their best form. If he wins tomorrow (and he does seem to have the evil eye over John Isner), that will be 4 successive tournament victories - another incredible statistic.

eddie Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 23 successive victories now - what a player, and his brother's partnership is just as dominant in the doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has truly broken the big 3 stranglehold and he's right up there with them on merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
