    Think it is 22 wins on the spin.

    He is also closing up on the number 1 ranking spot. If he wins this tournament he will be on 8225 points while Djokavic is on 9040. Not sure how many points you get for a slam event.

    Must be in with a shout of being world number 1 by the end of the year.

    He's a long way behind Djokovic at the moment. No points for Olympics or Davis Cup exploits, unfortunately.
    Djoko will lose points by missing Cincinatti but Muzz reached semis last year so he won't pick up too many more even if he wins the title since it's a complicated system of defending points.
    A win in New York would be a big help!

    You get points for the Davis Cup. 250 as I recall.

    Is it not 2000 for a slam win? Not looked it up. Can see Andy doing it!

    I had obviously looked up wrong table. In the race for the end of this year he might win but he is still far behind in the rankings. Are they over more than 1 year?

    They must be since Federer has hardly played in 2016.
    Hope Andy has enough left in the tank for US Open. Reports suggest he was pretty knackered against Tomic last night.

    There's a weeks break after the Cincinnati open then Andy will play a week on Tuesday at the us open so has ten days for niggles to heal. I wish he wouldn't bother chasing the no 1 spot and just concentrate on the majors as that is what he will be judged on. Probably lendl trying to install a totally winning mentality is behind his desire to be ranked no 1.

    Is he chasing number 1 spot though ?


    I genuinely think Murray plays to win EVERY single game/tournament/match he plays in..I don't think he is actively seeking number 1 status, Though it would be a bonus.

    Not sure it works quite that way. The points change relative to how you did in the tournament the previous year I think.

    There are two Ranking systems that run concurrently, the Singles Rankings (points gained over the last 12 months) and the Singles Race (points gained this season, or since January 1st), also referred to as the 'Race to London'. They should match by the end of the season. I think it's based on points gained in the Slams, Master 1000s and a small selection (maybe 5?) of best results gained in smaller tournaments.

    Djokovic is well ahead currently because of all the points he accumulated in the first half this season and the end of last season (US Open, Australian Open, French Open, World Tour Finals and 6 Master 1000s). Realistically, to achieve Number 1 in the near future Andy would have to completely dominate from now until Wimbledon next year. Or Djokovic to get horribly injured for a while!

    It's definitely possible but I think he'd be happy with some more Slams.

    It's 2000 for majors,1000 for the bigger masters tournaments and 500 for the smaller master tournaments. Andy is 6400 points behind djokovic but could reduce that by 1000 if he wins in Cincinnati. He will have to win a couple of majors in succession and djokovic not reach the finals to overtake him. Andy is defending a very good years total so it will be extremely tough to get near him. He did state that being no1: was a goal for him but did say it would be very hard to achieve.

    I can see Andy winning in Oz and then targeting the French for the grand slam so to speak. He's in a great groove at the moment and is winning even when his serve isn't at its best. If he gets more consistent on his 1st serve he is going to take some stopping. None of the up and coming players are at Andy's level yet though raonic and del potro if he can stay injury free could be dangerous in the next couple of years.

    Plus practice on fast hot courts after the slow Rio courts will be useful. He will have enough time to be ready for New York.

    Muzz saying he's "not feeling perfect" but just oozing confidence right now. He brushed big Raonic aside...

    Can't see Cilic causing Andy and problems in the final today. Get this under his belt and get a good rest before the US Open kicks off.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    Murray's 50th win of the year. What a machine.

    BTW Think the final should be on about 9pm.
