He'll be a few points ahead of Nadal I think.

Murray has three titles between now and the end of the year to defend. Unless he defends all of those, enters all the 250 mug tourneys in the off weeks and wins them, and then wins the tour finals with Novak and Fed bombing out of all their tourneys then it won't happen. Djokovic barely has any points to defend between now and the end of the year either.

Murray usually does well in Asia, and given the extra support he will now have at the WTFs, he can't be ruled out of winning that.
A year of US Open, Olympic Gold, WTFs and a Masters or 2 will put him damn close to #1

I have to say that I have been a Murray doubter for a long time. He always had the talent but I didn't think he had the mental capacity upstairs to put in a performance like this. I want to apologise for all the times I said he would never win a grand slam. I had a cheeky bet on him at the start of the tournament with a view to trading out during this match. I've greened so that I win a tenner if Djokovic turns this around but letting the rest of my green ride. Fantastic performance from the Scot!!!
