AUFC90 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Federer has 7. He's never won Monte Carlo or Rome. Aye but they changed I think, think he has Hamburg or something instead. Lendl having them all maybe wrong as well actually, sure I heard it from somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Fairly sure Murray joined Agassi, Federer and Nadal today in winning seven of the nine in their current-ish format. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As thescarf has said he is still to win Monte Carlo and Rome 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's in theory a continuation. Madrid on indoor hard court was then replaced by Shanghai so he's still technically on 7 out of 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmca Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 3 hours ago, Sooky said: So what would stop Murray not ending the season as world number 1? If I remember reading, Djokovic would need to win every game at the tour finals, but if Murray made the final and lost to him, would that still be enough? A player gets 200 points for each win in the round robin format, a maximum of 600; 400 points for winning the semi; and 500 for winning the final. As pointed out earlier, Murray is effectively 130 points ahead. Can't be arsed working out permutations of group wins, semi final losses etc. but looks like whoever goes furthest will be year end number 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Essentially Murray has to match Novak to get year end number one. If they meet the winner will be guaranteed year end number one. The draw will be tomorrow at 3pm if Raonic withdraws after this time Berdych will replace him in the draw. A draw of Novak, Stan, Nishikori and Cilic would be nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 What a complete arsehole Andy Murray is - no class. Not satisfied with being World Number One, he then decided he needed to beat some ballkids for an ego boost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If as looks likely that Andy is number 1 for a decent % of the next year(whether consecutively or playing swapsy) then I think he puts himself a level above any other Scottish sportsperson in history and will have a strong case for being top of the pile UK wide.

A draw of Novak, Stan, Nishikori and Cilic would be nice. Unfortunately we got the exact opposite. Not really bothered though if I'm honest, I want to see Murray put the very best to the sword and really lay down a marker for next year.

Elixir Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 It also means Novak will likely play Stan or Nishikori in the semi's (or even Andy), while Andy will likely play any of the three from the other group, so that could work in his favour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooky Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Technically the most difficult draw Murray could have got going by the rankings then. I couldn't see Djokovic having too much of an issue with that group, but he may well struggle in the semi's if his form doesn't pick up. Of course Murray doesn't have a fantastic record here, but he's never been playing better so it's his best chance yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 STAT ALERT!In 23 combined games against Raonic, Monfils and Thiem, Djokivic has won them all.Murray is 27-12 in combined games against Wawrinka, Nishikori, and Cilic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great number of unionists too if my facebook is anything to go by. Apparently Murray is only number 1 by default and not on merit. I sincerely hope he wins this tournament and just posts Greggy/Portillo/Clarkson meme's for days on his twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same on the tennis section of the Daily Mail website; Home County little Englander Brexiteers are absolutely seething that a Jock is the best in the world. But I was more on about that draw for the WTF. That's literally the hardest group he could've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
