Australian Open - What If ?
Permalink  

Just for the Count  smile

After Djokovic's defeat in Sydney ( apparently he didn't want to be ranked 2nd in the world, however temporarily ! ) :

Points on Monday will be  :

Djokovic    10650  ( defending 2000 )
Murray    7190  ( defending 10 )

Andy will rise to 3rd after the Aussie Open if he wins the tournament and Djokovic fails to reach the semis.

If both these events don't happen, Andy will remain 4th in the rankings

( actually, I couldn't really care less if the first has happened !!!  smile    )

Don't know what all the fuss about the "What if.." is, it's quite straightforward  wink.gif

Andy does'nt but some fans will. The press would like it thats for sure.

Andy would take winning a slam ranked 99 rather than a career in the top 5 and never win one.

Andy Murray's Australian Open favourite tag riles Novak Djokovic

Defending Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic has spoken out against the bookies decision to rate Andy Murray - the worlds fourth-ranked player - as equal favourite for the tournament alongside Roger Federer.

Asked whether he felt that Murray had overtaken him in the public imagination, Djokovic replied indignantly What is his ranking against my ranking? I have all respect for Murray, Djokovic added. I like him as a person and as a player.

"Hes done a lot in the last couple of months, and hes a very talented player who we can expect to win some Grand Slams in the future.

But you cannot put him as one of the favourites next to Roger and Rafa and myself here at the Australian Open.

Djokovic remains a long way ahead of Murray on rankings points, with 10,650 to Murrays 7190. But he will lose a significant number of those if he does not repeat his 2008 feat of winning this tournament.
(from Telegraph )

Doesn't that make you wish for a Murray win and a Djokovic early exit, even admitting what he says is true? It's just the way he says it!
