No, he needs to remain 280 points above Novak after this week. If Murray won his last group game and lost in the final while Novak lost his last group game and won the final Murray would be 170 points ahead with his 275 Davis Cup points coming off on the 27th of this month.

I wonder if the bookies haven't realised this.. you can get 4/6 on Nikishori to win and 9/5 on him to win 2-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've probably altered their odds to where they think will balance their books, it's for others to work out whether it's value. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd of said 9/5 for Nishikori to win 2-0 is decent odds even if Cilic still had something to play for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a look and the market has shifted towards Nishikori (1.88 to 1.66 with pinnacle) so I'd assume that better than 9/5 was available at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be sets and games. Murray needs 1 set Know it's extremely unlikely, but, if Murray and Nishikori both end up with a 5=3 record, and games are the same, they'd both qualify, but who'd top the group? Assume that's when head to head might come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give him extra motivation to get there are one of the main lads this time next year. As expected, the group stage has been a stroll for the Serb.

And put up in a 5 star hotel, and experience of being around the event. Can certainly see why someone like him would do that. Can also see why Berdych chose not to be an alternate, been there numerous times before so wouldn't really get the same benefit as Goffin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northsea80 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares will end the year as the number 1 doubles team as results went their way today. Great achievement and great year for Jamie with two slams and the top doubles ranking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
