And train abroad. Credit where credit is due. He has worked exceptionally hard to get there. Great to see after coming from that hell in Dunblaine.

Was listening to his mother on radio this morning and she said he had to travel as he quickly exhausted the competition locally. So he had to travel South (England). Then he exhausted the competition there. So he moved abroad. Many, many sacrifices, but has paid off with both brothers now No. 1.

Yeah obviously all the top players are incredibly motivated but they all seem to talk a lot about how ridiculously hard Andy works on the fitness side.

Well done. Granted, it's really only possible with Novak having a slump, Nadal out of it and Federer currently out of the picture, but that's the nature of sport. What will be really interesting is if Novak comes back and we get an epic battle between the two of them over the next few years.

Its very true, he is only currently the best player due to those others currently not being in it, that and the trainer he now has. Otherwise, he would have been number 1 a lot earlier, no?

I only hope I never see the day come when Scotland win the world cup based on that argument.

Murray is playing much better, controlling the anger. Novak was clearly hopping mad smashing a racket off the court a few matches ago.

True, but down to having one of the best trainers out there.

Yes, but its true. If a lot of your competition are out of action that has got to be a major advantage.
