Has the Big 4 in tennis become the Big 3 now? The three with very good consistency in the past few months seem to be Djokovic/Nadal/Federer with some strong chasers like Wawrinka, etc.

Murray seems to be in the chasers category now.

I would not write Murray off just yet as a genuine Masters and Majors contender, but he has had a very slow return from injury.
Not sure either if Federer's resurgence is going to continue much further, and whether he is going to do a late march back to the top - ala Andre Agassi in the early 2000's.
Nadal has not been able to maintain his best form this year, and even Djoker is strangely out of sorts.
That leads me to believe that the entire Big 4's dominance may be coming to an end, and new big game winners will emerge this year.

The last tournaments were won by Nadal and Djokovic and Federer almost won the last one. They seem pretty strong to me.

For goodness sake! Write off Murray for having an indifferent return after injury? C'mon - surely your smarter than that!

Federer will become a "chaser" more likely than Murray.

Mark my words Andy has Wimbledon in the bag!

It is funny you think it is funny!

As much a chance of Andy winning Wimbledon as anybody - so why is it funny?

Murray and Lendl have just parted ways:

Andy Murray & Ivan Lendl End Coaching Relationship - Tennis - ATP World Tour

Huge news in the tennis world.
No point in reading into it too much, probably Lendl just has had enough of all the travelling etc.
Murray though needs to regroup and start returning to the winners list very soon though - like right now in Miami.

2 slams in this generation is good to me. Half a dozen slam finals and often beaten the top players there has ever been, world number two in this generation, olympic gold and silver - that fluke will do me!
