"Andy Murray's 12-year reign as Britain's top player has come to an end for now with Kyle Edmund joining a list of greats including...Andrew Castle....as British No 1."
I knew that. I mean the exact date. Is it Saturday?
They are jumping the gun. Andy is British #1 until 5th March.
March 4 2017 was the date Murray won his most recent title.
I ****ed up. It should be monday if anythingSo the actual anniversary will be this Sunday if going by the date or Saturday if going by the end of the tournament.
It's like the way they announced Federer taking over from Rafa as #1 almost a week before it actually happened.True but you know what the press are like. If they spot a gun to leap over the only question is,"how high?"
Andy will only have 360 points by the time the grass season comes along. The draw has been lopsided since 2012 when Rafa kept being sidelined with injury every year. Gone are the days when all we talked about was whether Rafa or Roger would be drawn against Andy or Novak.
Beat me to it ;PWhat can you possibly mean?
Oh cmon, Fed and Novak was always paired together 9 times out of 10.
10/10 would bang.

Kyle also out with injury at the moment but expected to be fit in time for Indian Wells. Anyway, congrats to him for joining those other guys listed as British #1. Hopefully he can make good on it!
Agassi dropped out of the top #100 and he made his way back to #1! It seems unlikely that Murray will do that but don’t give up hope!By my calculation, Andy has about 1,170 more points to defend between now and the start of the grass season so if he doesn't play anything until then he will definitely fall out of the top #100. Just seems so surreal to contemplate!
Delpo has been grappling with that for a long time now. I remember him going down as far as #484. I was so cut up that Rafa went down to #5 when he returned in 2013 then #9 in 2017. That looks like nothing now. Fed also went down to #17 when he came back in 2017.By my calculation, Andy has about 1,170 more points to defend between now and the start of the grass season so if he doesn't play anything until then he will definitely fall out of the top #100.

He will have protected ranking for a minimum of 6 months so he won't need any WCs.
Congrats to Kyle but he’ll never kiss this trophy
Why not have it as your avatar?
Because a year has 365 days, 52 weeks and one day, so if januari 1st is a sunday, the next year it will be a monday, as 2018 isn't a leap year.
What can you possibly mean?
Wow I thought Perry would be no.1 for the longest but I don’t even know if players were ranked back then.
The weather. There are not enough outside courts available to the public and private clubs are too expensive.
Andrew Castle reached the Queens 3R. Fedr never even passed the 1st round.What can you possibly mean?
Nadal vs Djokovic 1st round?
No offense, but that's because Nadal pretty much never has big time injuries, despite what Nadals fans like to claim.Delpo has been grappling with that for a long time now. I remember him going down as far as #484. I was so cut up that Rafa went down to #5 when he returned in 2013 then #9 in 2017. That looks like nothing now. Fed also went down to #17 when he came back in 2017.
Hands up all those who now agree with Rafa that there should be a 2-year ranking system.
I do take offence.
