Andy Murray/Tennis thread 2013

Amazing from Rafa.

Best two players on the planet and seem genuinely nice blokes as well.

Plenty more of this rivalry to come as well

13 slams he's going to be chasing Feds 17

A year or two ago I didn't think he'd overhaul Fed but I think he will now.

Think Nadal is coming to a stage where injuries are going to disrupt his play more and more. Has been coming.

How old is he now? 28?

[Shaggy]

Not long turned 27!

[Fredo]

****. If he can steer clear of injuries he'll overtake Fed but that won't be easy.

Only injuries could stop him doing that IMO. He could win 10+ more Grand Slam titles.

I wouldn't bet against him winning all four Slams next season.

[Shaggy]

I think the competition - mainly from Novak and Murray - is too hot for him to win all four but I agree he could win plenty more Slams.

He's guaranteed the French every year.

10+ more is a stretch. If he can change his game a little bit and stay clear of the injuries, then yes he cam match and surpass Federer's 17 provided Federer doesn't win one more.

Personally, I'm not a Federer fan but I feel watching him go down the gutter match after match. If he can win one last slam and bow down, that'd be great for tennis.

Will be difficult but he got a fair chance.

I think that Novak is on the way down and Murray must get even better than he was when he won Wimbledon to have a chance IMO.

I can't see it. 4 is an achievable aim.

No chance Rafa will win all four next year. No chance. Too many other brilliant players, plus his knees are ****ed

Don't think it was tbh. Yeah, it was a long rally, but most of them were mid court shots. It was like a warm up for about half of it.

I agree with that. There were far better rallies in the match.

On another note. I think Nadal will go on to break Feds record. As long as he is injury free. All he has to do is target the french open and win it for the next 4/5 years (and at the moment there are very few to challenge him on that) and maybe as a bonus pick up one along the way. I do think thou we won't see him at Wimbledon too often in the future thou.
