summary
Andy Murray beats Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the Erste Bank Open held in Vienna last week and he moved one step closer to becoming world number one player. He will replace Novak Djokovic, the present number one player, by winning next week’s Paris Masters, provided Djokovic does not reach the final. He will also reach top spot if he reaches the Paris final and Djokovic falls before the semi-finals. In spite of being three times a Grand Slam winner and twice Olympic champion, Murray has never been top of the world rankings. Every win makes him closer to the top, but it’s still seem a long way.
opinion
Murray said in the interview, “From two to one seems a small jump in a way but it’s the hardest one to make.” As he says, being top of the world rankings is very difficult in any competition. Usually tennis is a individual sport. To win in a game, a high revel skill is required. They need not only physical or power but also strategy, mental is as much as necessary. To be a top tennis player in the world, they must be exceled in all areas. In this point, I think Djokovic is the strongest tennis player I’ve ever seen. But he is staying too long in the top. I hope a day that Murray will beat Djokovic and become a number one player.
