Tennis, like any sport, is about winning trophies not momentarily finding yourself at the top of a rankings system. Djokovic is the best player in the world.

Belgium were number one in the FIFA world rankings a few months ago- have they ever at any point in their history been the best team in the world?? Have they fvck! What do you think they'd rather have? A euros/World Cup win? Or be able to say they've topped the world rankings momentarily. Right now, Murray is absolutely a superior player to Djokovic, and only a troll or someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about would state otherwise. The comparison with the FIFA rankings is nonsense as well. Tennis rankings actually make sense, for a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and Murray isn't a blatant drug cheat either! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The level of consistency it takes to make that achievement makes the achievement worth celebrating. It's not rocket science. Of course, this is probably just the "Scotland lol" trolling from a usual suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly childish stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If winning trophies is all that matters, Djokovic has won one tournament since June. In the same time period Murray has won Queens, Wimbledon, Olympics, Beijing, Shanghai, Vienna and will more than likely win Paris tomorrow.

Andy as the world's highest ranking tennis player is a fantastic achievement - especially as the 2nd oldest to achieve it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly up there with the worst bit of comparatives I've ever read. And I've seen the Brexit thread. You obviously completely missed the bit where Murray has won many, many trophies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I wonder what it could possibly be about Andy Murray that has some of our cringe element repeatedly frothing over his outstanding achievements. Best in the world, regardless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only argument against I've heard before was that he was never the best in the world at his sport. Can tick that off now. Arise, Sir Andy Murray. Mind when you said he'd never be number one on umpteen occasions, you worm? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I did do the bereavement cycle as a piss take once, and it summed up your emotions after a loss. I think everyone has under estimated what Andy Murray would achieve, and still can achieve in his career. I thought at one point he'd never win a clay court tournament or be number one. But there you go, he just gets better and better. A win tomorrow and a win at the WTF would round off a just about perfect year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there you go, he just gets better and better. A win tomorrow and a win at the WTF would round off a just about perfect year. I won't doubt him again, tbh. When you sit back and think about what he's achieved, it makes me feel daft to think I ever did. Even losing to Nishikori at the US Open and the frustrating way it happened - he'd have been only the fourth man ever to reach all four Slam finals in the same year if he'd done it. Practically unprecedented and again, in hindsight, no real surprise given his summer schedule. Despite how good a career he's already had, he definitely deserves even more. I really hope he has a dominant next two or three years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Anderson Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Been waiting to see this for so many years... World Rankings 1. Andy Murray 2. Novak Djokovic (without drugs) 6. Rafa Nadal (without drugs) 9. Roger Federer (getting old) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
