Best in the World...

...right now. Andy Murray has been outstanding since his defeat to Federer in the US Open Final. He's gone unbeaten (which includes beating Federer) and has done it back to back weekly. Right now he's on course to become the first player ever to win 3 consecutive Masters Series titles, which would be some achievement. Rafa Nadal has said before this weeks Paris Masters that he considers Murray to be the best in the world right now, and I agree with him. He didn't drop a set in his defence of the St Petersburg Open title last week, coming on the back of a great Madrid Masters win, it's fantastic momentum. But more than that, if he is the best in the world right now, he might just be the best in the world full stop. The level of consistency he's showing might not just be for a period. For all we know, Murray could be on a run that takes him right to the very top spot...
