Murray the new world #2

1- THINGS do change very quickly. It is very cruel. But missing a Wimbledon, losing the No.1 or No.2 ranking won't change who you are, and all those are trivial comparing to a healthy body. It is not really great pressure for Rafa. I really hope he sees all these this way. But he does have to rethink his schedule and have a new attitude to points, matches and tournaments.

2- Yet another great achievement for Andy Murray. Maybe many will see this breakthrough /progress coming too late. But I feel this might be better for him in the long run. Premature sex makes a relationship easily rotted, fame too easily gotten can lead to similar consequences for a career. Now he has got to #2, is #1 far? But on the other hand, every chance matters if you want to chase the history. Obviously, Murray is the strongest on the hard court after last year's US Open. Who conquers hard court conquers the tennis world. But why Rafa and Roger are still monopolize the headlines/ is he still not the focus? Because his mediocre performances in the majors. He lost one good chance in Melbourne, he was under too much pressure in Wimbledon, just as Tim Henman did. It still remains to be seen whether and how he gonna demonstrate his superiority in US Open. From now to next US Open (2010) can tell me who Murray really is.

3- A small "recession" for Djoker, he needs to regroup. He should work more in the gym. (A deep depression for Ana. Hard to tell when she will come back. )

4- Roddick, I think I understand what he thinks now: running a race against the clock, the age. His eagerness and earnestness translates into great improvement on techniques and more patience and composure on court, but those seem to wipe out the freshness he once has. He is so heavy, mentally. Today he lost another very close match to del Potro. H2H is now 0-3. His backhand is still fragile comparing to del Potro.

5- Federer. Hard to see the possibility that he wins another shield. He has passed his golden era on hard court too. But you can always recall his beautiful days on Grand Slams.
