Wimbledon

[Gandalf]

I would like some respect for starting threads year in year out saying that Murray would be champ. People laughed at me, they denounced him being Scottish, and I always stayed loyal and right now he is Wimbledon champion. miles was never really wrong, the timing was just slightly off. Personally, I hate nationality. I am happy that Murray won and being Scottish is a silly distraction. He won and now I am telling you that Murray will be in a duel with Djokovic for the number one slot. Nadal will sometimes come up but him and Federer are pretty shot at this point in time.

You kept the faith miles and you were right. I always believed too. He is a fine player in an era of fine players. We can't count out Nadal as you say but the next 3 years will see several Murray-Djokovic finals. Most likely starting in September at the US Open.

Absolutely, that is how it will unfold now. Murray has it on grass, but now the mental edge is turning Djokovic could be the one in trouble in the future. Murray has confidence and these top guys are seeing him with less and less fear and subsequent mental self degradement. He knows he belongs now.

Straight sets victory over Djokovic is just unheard of. In the past in that situation Murray would have been broken there at the end, Djokovic would have won the set, then who knows from there. But now Murray knows he can do it, and just as importantly Djokovic knew that Murray would not crumble. I agree that this could represent a shift in power when it comes to those crucial points in matches.
Murray's talent deserves multiple Grand Slams and I believe he will now get them.
