Murray is the new #3. Fed doesn't seem to be impressed.

I recently read this article. It's Fed's perspective on Murray's recent assent to #3 in the ATP rankings. Here's a link to the article:

http://www.tennistalk.com/en/news/20090507/Federer_unimpressed_with_Murray%27s_rise_to_No._3

Federer, brought up the fact that Murray has yet to win a slam but did include Murray as one of the best players during the hard court season. I don't know about some of Fed's comments, Murray has pretty much owned him recently, in fact Fed's only win since 2005 against Murray, came at the US Open finals. Murray has proven himself to be a very consistent player on hard courts, in fact I would even say that he's had better results than Federer, in the past 7 months. No doubt, Fed, is also aware that Murray is closing the gap between them. In 6 months he's only reached 1 final, while Djokovic and Murray have routinely beaten him in the semis. Unless, he's able to figure out a way past them, it will only be a matter of time until both Murray and Djokovic pass him in the ATP ranking.
