    Great tournament for tennis and obviously well chuffed that Federer didn't take advantage of such and easy draw.

    You just wonder how many Slams Nadal would have now if it weren't for injuries?

    Another victory for Croatia. Oh, and * the disinterested tournament officials who were giving Čilić the award.

    Would everyone agree that Nadal is the best player of all time? Only injuries have prevented him from taking every record available. I'm sure everyone who knows about the sport would agree!

    Djokovic and Federer wouldn't have the titles they have.

    Everything is relative.Rod Laver won multiple majors even though he missed a good few years when the professional/amateurism of the game was being sorted out......but still won 2 complete Grand Slams either side of his years out.
    Borg won 11 majors without ever competing in the Australian Open.He never won the US, but he won the French and Wimbledon back to back 5 times.....which is the 2 extremes of surfaces......and retired at 26!

    I still think Federer is greater.He is past it now, but bear in mind he still won a good few majors when Rafa and Djok were about even though he is 5 years older.

    I also have to say that as much as i cant be bothered with Federer anymore, his game was a thing of beauty to watch and he single handedly got me back into watching tennis when he came on the scene.

    Andy Murray in action today against Nishikori in the season finale Masters tournament.

    Is anyone a fan of the game? I can see Murray getting to the final of this.

    Does anyone have a link though?

    He looked tired today and had little fire, beaten with a bit of a whimper, really not like him.

    I think the gruelling schedule and effort he has put in to claw his way back uo the rankings seems to have taken it's toll, he must be as tired as Raheem Sterling.

    Jeez.......that man is a genius.How anyone can argue he wouldnt have been so great in any other era is beyond me.He is unbelievable.
    I honestly thought when Murray won Wimbledon, that Fed would be the one to drop away from the top 4......but he is actually playing better now than he was 2 years ago.

    Granted Murray has been injured, but even so.......that was a doing tonight!
