i always said Murray is over-rated, just like blake....

Wow, a bagel. That's how you turn a match around.

Crap, guess I jinxed him.

Murray missed his home tournament wimbledon and the FO through injury. Despite a tough year, he almost managed to claim a masters cup spot. Murray has also defeated Federer on a hard court, last yr indoors. He has one of the best returns in the game, evident when he destroyed Roddick at Wimbledon 06. I think Murray will be top 5 next yr.. I think he is a serious contender for the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

Murray beat Federer in a match Federer was exhausted, similar to how Nadal was exhausted when he lost to Federer on clay at Hamburg, but even worse.
That wasnt a real win at all. Murray is good but defintiely not good enough to win a slam next year.

I don't like his personality (at all) but I admire his talent. I think he's exceptionally gifted and he could be a great player if he works on the mental aspect

by the way, i noticed that murray has a really poor record against young guns:
0-2 against richard
0-2 against marcos
0-3 against djokovic
0-2 against nadal

Pretty revealing stats. I had no idea Murray had such a poor record against his peers. I knew he had lost his only previous match against Gasquet.

I still think Murray has the talent to be top-ten, and so does Gasquet, who will finish the year in the top ten.

I expect both of these players to have good records in 2008. Both will enter the year as high-seeded players in the Masters tournaments in the first half of next year, which is a big advantage.

Murray had a great start and and very good finish to his year. Gasquet was up and down, but I believe the run to the semis at Wimbledon and making the cut for Shanghai will give him the shot of confidence he needs to win much more consistently next year.

Guys like Blake, Haas, Ljubicic are pretty much done as far as top-ten material from now on. The "Young Guns" should be dominating the show next year. And it will be quite a challenge for Federer to maintain his present level of dominance and finish #1 again for 2008.

I think Murray is turning the tide against a few of those young players, but as mentioned he needs a little more experience.
