Tennis 2016

[Dave Cooper please]

Another trophy for Andy! Great that he's World number one. Hopefully he will go into 2017 as still the number one!

Hopefully he will win more majors next year. When his tennis career is over, he will mainly be judged on how many grand slams he won, not how long he spent as no 1 in the rankings.

I think he'll be judged as a brilliant player who won majors (and Olympic titles) and got to number one in the most competitive era Men's tennis has ever seen. Federer, Nadal AND Djokovic yet he's still done all that. I don't think he should worry about how history will judge him!

Fair comment, but I believe Federer and Nadal are spent forces regarding winning any more majors and providing he does not have any major injuries, with the talent he has he should be looking to at list double his tally of 3 grand slams over the next few years.

The schedule has been against Murray. How come he played yesterday and Djokovic gets a rest day? Also Murray had a brutal half of the draw, but he's been brilliant to get through. Even Monfils pulled out with injury against Djokovic and was replaced by Goffin, who is no real threat.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yes, considering he's the top seed, Murray had the far harder draw.

Fancy him more against Raonic than Nishikori though. Raonic has played well so far in this tournament, but I think he has a mental block where he doesn't believe that he can beat the top 2. He really should have beaten Djokovic

[PaulWinch again]

It's going to take an incredible effort for Murray to win now.

Djokovic is a lucky git. An extra days rest on Friday and a 6-1, 6-1 walkover against a tired Nishikori following a much easier half of the draw. I hope I'm wrong but Murray might just be too tired in tonight's final, especially after 3 hours 38 minutes against Raonic in the epic semi yesterday. But Murray has tremendous heart, desire and willpower, so you never know....

Think Murray  played his final  yesterday - Djokovic to win in straight sets.

Still bemuses me how some sports fans in this country just don't "get" Andy Murray.

The guy will go down in history once he's done as one of the greatest ever British sportsman.

I can only conclude people dislike Tennis as a sport and all its elitism which is fair enough but don't take that out on Murray.

If we're still going on about what he said about the England team 10 years ago....just get over it. Indeed pretty much all of us on here and elsewhere have said far worse about England given how they've performed in the last decade.

I actually take Murray to be our greatest sportsman  of all time.  His dedication is next to none, he keeps improving but unfortunately  it  is the  elitism of the sport I detest.  Tennis clubs in the UK is all about doubles.  You  therefore need some kind of super spoon at birth to get over that hurdle.
