Bold words indeed!
Agreed that muzza is still a work in progress.

The other players are improving though or adapting. (Not necessarily Fed. who is going to just miss Murray's peak, I think). Novak can up his game again,showed greatness in his self-belief, comeback & "stickability" at the AO. Rafa will have to work exceptionally hard to come back as he was . I hope he does because it is great for tennis to have 4 such great players playing at the same time.
It pushes everyone to be better, just by playing them.

There are dangers lurking though & there can always be another new kid in town. Who will step up next?

I do predict good things from Murray. I always said if he could play aggressive tennis, he has a shot to win/get far in slams. Although on occassion I did see him fall into his natural 'junkballing' style of play which can get him into trouble against the best players, or players playing at a very high level. I was glad to see him take the US Open, probably the reason he was a much better runner up this time around, this loss will only inspire him.

Actually the coolest thing is enjoying life.
We all have to make a living at something.

You seem to have a handle on that but supporting Murray can't have made life any easier!

Meh. I'm Scottish. We're genetically pre-disposed to think that things will likely turn out to be shyte - so supporting Andy just seems kinda normal. To be brutally honest - he's got that slam now - it's all gravy from here on in.
