00-lympic champ.

No.1 in the world

A bit of an anti-climax with a walkover in the Paris semi-final but well done the laddy.

He lost to The Goffin today though in Abu Dhabi , clearly had other matters on his mind

I came across a Murray quote recently from 2012 that I'd missed at the time, quite telling.

"I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation."

All the big boys this year are limiting their appearances pretty much to the slams and the Masters 1000's which are compulsory events.

Would be great if he could finally get the Oz Open on his cv, five times a losing finalist there.

any updates please?

I know many disagree, but for me his two Olympic gold medals are at least equal to major wins. Look how much it meant to Federer when he just missed out on a singles gold medal. They are a lot rarer that's for sure, the top players get 16 shots at a grand slam for every one Olympic gold. Same for golf for me, Justin Rose's gold is equal to a major.

How can Justin Rose gold equal a major. Half the world's best players are Yanks, only 3 allowed to compete in Olympic golf?

While the field has to get made up with jokers who would never get near competing in a major.

Agreed he is only going to take weeks off now to keep up the charade of being injured

murray was on one leg today. he will win wimbledon again. him & fed are the best grass court players by a distance.

An Olympic gold in golf can never be the equal of a major.
Why? because of the nature of golf.
eg, in athletics the Olympics is made up of the best runners, those that can run the fastest times, that`s it (although limited to so many per country)
In golf it will not be the best golfers at the Olympics, because there will be 50 or 100 or more golfers equally good or better.
These players will take part in the majors, and that alone, putting aside the history and tradition makes the majors greater.

& 2 Olympic singles golds, which is 2 more than the supposed g.o.a.t. Fed
