Who thinks Andy Murray will win a grand slam title one day?

He does have the talent and love to win Wimbledon. But not in the era where a player namely Federer dominates the field, followed by his dominions consisted of Roddick, Blake, Nalbandian etc. He has to raise his game and fitness level to match top 10 players' athleticism and play. He also has to be much more consistent and keeps his temper in play, he gotta believe in himself so much more than relying on Gilbert(Murray's coach) that he can upset world's bests.

Its going to be a tough competition between Nadal n Federer. But looking at the superb form of Nadal, I think Nadal might pull off his 2nd Grand SLam title too considering Federer has never gone past the Quarter finals of French Open.

I'd like to think so. It certainly looks possible. He's got closer every time they've played on clay, and noone is a better scout of their opponents than Federer. By now he's surely picking up pointers on what he has to do. \nThe enormous amount of pressure put on Nadal by the tennis media may well serve to help Roger too.

Gragham Dot. The way he played this afternoon against O'Sullivan was amazing. I think it will be close. He will beat Ebdon 18-14. Ebdon has his form too early in the competition.

I'd love to see Federer win but Nadal still seems the safest bet. That said, with all the hype surrounding the clay-court winning streak, it almost seems like he could be riding for a fall. It often happens that way in sports. When someone is seen as so much of an invincible favorite going into a championship, that's when an upset or an injury or some other kind of misfortune occurs. Look at the New York Yankees. In 2000 they won the World Series over the Mets (the famous "Subway Series"). The next year they go out as HEAVY favorites over the Diamondbacks and...LOSE! So yes, stranger things have happened.\nAs far as my favorite of the two. Federer, hands down. Such all-round dominance over the past 3 years, 7 Slams without losing in a final, the best game to watch by a long way. He mixes offense and defense, and can hit every coceivable shot.\nFavorite of all-time. I guess, Sampras. When you look at what he did for most of a decade against a particularly strong top ten. The amount of classic matches. He's a natural pick. \nFederer looks like he could reach that level, but he's still got a lot of winning to do first

Tim Henman has been British number one because he is a brilliant player.\nFor the last ten years he has consistently been in the world's top ten players, he has reached the semi-finals at wimbledon three times and at the French Open once, and he has won several Masters events.  He won a silver medal at the olympics and in his career he has beaten some of the all time greats - Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi,  Boris Becker.\n\nHenman has never won a grand slam event but very few people have.  He has done everything else in the game and even in the twilight of his career he is still one of the best players in the world, and one of the top few on grass.\n\nIf you truly think Tim Henman is crap then you must know very little about tennis.  By any standards he is a phenominally talented player, probably the greatest British player ever.\nI doubt very much that Andy Murray will achieve what Tim Henman has in his career.

roger federer is the best & he will win.\n\nRoger Federer\n\nRoger Federer is a Swiss professional tennis player who in 2004 became the 23rd World No. 1 in tennis. He is currently the No. 1 player in the world (and defending this title since February 2004) and (as of 9 June 2006) is working on the second-longest consecutive stay in the Men's World No. 1 ranking. Only Ivan Lendl and Jimmy Connors surpass him in this record.\n\nIn 2004, Federer became the first man since Mats Wilander in 1988 to win three out of four Grand Slam events in the same year. He is widely regarded as the dominant player of his era and is already considered to be one of the greatest players of all time.\n\nCountry Switzerland \nResidence Oberwil, Switzerland \nDate of birth 8 August 1981 \nPlace of birth Basel, Switzerland \nHeight 185 cm (6 ft 1 in) \nWeight 80 kg (177 lb) \nTurned Pro 1998 \nPlays Right, Single hand backhand \nCareer Prize Money $22,629,383 \nSingles \nCareer record: 429-123 \nCareer titles: 37 (13th in overall rankings) \nHighest ranking: No. 1 (2 February 2004) \nGrand Slam results \nAustralian Open W (2004 • 06) \nFrench Open F (2006 - ongoing*) \nWimbledon W (2003 • 04 • 05) \nU.S. Open W (2004 • 05) \nDoubles \nCareer record: 101-66 \nCareer titles: 7 \n\nBiography\nFederer was born August 8, 1981 in Basel, Switzerland in the small city of Binningen, to Robert Federer and Lynette Federer. He grew up 10 minutes from Basel proper, in suburban Münchenstein.\n\nHis parents met while his father was on a business trip to South Africa for a Basel-based chemical company for which they both worked. Lynette was born and raised in Kempton Park, Gauteng, South Africa. Lynette no longer works at the company and is now a manager at the Roger Federer Foundation. Robert is still with the Ciba Specialty Chemicals, in sales.\n\nRoger has an elder sister, Diana, who is a nurse, and lives in the Basel area. He speaks three languages (German, French and English) fluently and conducts press conferences in all of them.\n\nFederer spends his off-court time playing card games, table tennis, other sports and sitting on the beach. He currently resides in Oberwil, Switzerland, and is dating former WTA player and fellow Swiss Miroslava Vavrinec (Mirka), who retired from the game in 2002 after a foot injury; the two met at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.\n\nHe co-established the Roger Federer Foundation in December 2003. Its goals include funding projects that benefit disadvantaged children, primarily in South Africa. In January 2005, he encouraged efforts from tennis players for the people affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, saying he would play as many matches as possible in tournaments organized to raise funds for the tsunami victims and auctioned off his autographed rackets to raise funds for UNICEF's relief operations.\n\nFederer also launched a fragrance and cosmetics line called RF Cosmetics in October 2003.\n\nOn April 3, 2006, Federer was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador to UNICEF [1], which helps poor children around the world.\n\nTennis\n\nCareer\nRoger Federer started playing tennis at the age of eight. 1998 was Federer's last year in the Junior circuits; he won the Wimbledon Juniors title and the prestigious year-ending Orange Bowl. Federer joined the ATP tour in July 1998 but finished the year as the ITF World Junior Tennis champion. In 1999, he debuted for the Swiss Davis Cup team. He finished the year as the youngest player inside the ATP's top 100.\n\nIn 2000, he reached the semi-finals in the Sydney Olympics, but lost the bronze-medal match. He lost to Arnaud Di Pasquale of France by 7-6(7-5) 6-7(7-9) 6-3. He also reached the finals in Basel and Marseille but did not win either of them.\n\nIn February 2001, Federer won his first ATP tournament in Milan. He also won three matches for his country in the Davis Cup in a 3-2 victory over the United States. He advanced to the quarterfinals in the fourth round. He finished

i couldn't really say yes basing solely on federer's winning titles and the fact that he has acquired more than sampras at the same age.\n\n\nthe deal is, in the pete sampras era, another tennis great was co-dominating the circuit --- andre agassi. federer had no real competition (the competition that agassi gives to sampras is incomparable to that of nadal-roddick.) which is the reason why he has won more tennis matches

i dont think she'll be able to make it with all the new and young talent (Sharapova, Henin- Hardine, etc.) but u never know it could happen!

There will definitely be another great heavyweight champion.  The question is however, is there a champion around now who has the potential to become one, and the answer is yes.  Wladimir Klitschko has had his difficulties in the past, but right now he is in the perfect position to become the next great heavyweight.  If he were to go on and fight Hasim Rahman and win, he would have, in my opinion, no one around who could beat him.  He easily dismantled Chris Byrd, who was in the opinion of many for a while to be the best heavyweight.  So the answer is yes, their will be one, and Wladimir Klitschko has the ability to become one.    \nAlso, I am rather surprised that you didn't mention Lennox Lewis as one of the titans of boxing.

Highly unlikely. \nYes, he has achieved an amazing amount of success for such a young player. He won the French Open last year, he's closing in on the all-time record for consecutive clay-court wins, he's already risen to #2 in the world. But it is going to be next to impossible to take over the #1 ranking as a one-surface player.\nI know a lot has been made of Nadal's progress on hardcourts, but many recent clay-courters have achieved some success on hardcourts. There is a big difference between winning a tournament or two on a surface and becoming a real threat for the Majors on that suface. Lets not forget that Federer has had much more success on clay than Nadal has had on hardcourts (let alone grass).\nUntil or unless Nadal picks up his game away from the red stuff, he's unlikely to seriously threaten Federer's reign at the top of the mens game.

1.Greg Rusedski\n2.Andy Murray\n3.Tim Henman\n\nthe ranking points are very close - and the order appears to change every week.\n\nMurray will certainly be clear at the top this time next year.

I think Andy has to be in the Top 5. He just have to play consistently. He should be there when Davydenko turns off. He could still reclaim from James Blake the honor of being America's top tennis player.

I think Nadal has a decent chance to repeat, however there are many good competitors on this surface. I would'nt dismiss the possibility of Federer capturing this title, but he reminds me too much of Sampras, somewhat impatient for an outstanding clay court player. Look out for Nalbaldian, Gaudio, Coria and Davydenko!
