    I take back what I said about Djokovic still being the best in the World.

    A switch has went in Murray's head just now, he is a thoroughbred winner. Doesn't look like losing matches where a few years ago it would have petered away from him.

    Djokovic's toughest opponent and his biggest obstacle is himself .It is very strange that he decided to go into this tournament without Becker and Vajda .Instead, he had Pepe Imaz,Spanish 'guru', the preacher of 'Love and Peace' philosophy,in his box. Ironically its not all loving and peaceful between Novak and Jelena,as their marriage seems to be going through massive turmoil ,with reports of Novak having an affair with Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.Now ,whether Novak was indeed deep into Deepika or not ,I do not know for sure, but I'm sure Novak's mind is not focused on tennis at the very moment.

    Mind you ,I'm not saying he his unbeatable or that he can not be outplayed even when he is fully engaged ,far from it, but no one can tell me this man is working and living tennis lately.

    Djokovics toughest opponent is his own body when he isn't using performance enhancing drugs.

    I really hope Novak is on the slide, nothing against the guy but his coupon annoys me.

    Murray could hardly breathe on the court ,few years back.Honestly ,I was worried for the guy. If anyone is on PED its him.

    Well he can enjoy his moment now,Murray. Really hope Novak can get his act together.The level of tennis that man can offer is different kind of amazing. It baffles me when people try to discredit him ,its very annoying.You can throw around false claims as long as you like.It's ridiculous,don't know why I even bother.

    True.

    Of all on tour most would suspect Murray, but I have strong suspicions about Nadal and Djokovic too.

    Boris Becker got a bit hit under the collar when Murray intimated some of his opponents had unhuman stamina, didn't he?

    Bit bizarre that. But that's none of my business...

    'Hot under collar' ,what are you on about? He responded ,right enough but he hardly broke a sweat over it.He said Andy is one of the fittest players on the tour and that he often outlasts players and nobody is questioning his ethics.He said he believes all of the top players are clean and that Novak gets tested a lot. That can mean twice in a Grand Slam.
