With $20+ million of prize money and $23 million from Adidas he must be doing something right.

So come on then, tell me a 'big win'?

Doesnt mean coming second or raping Adidas for sponsorship money!

Has he won a Grand Slam, no................thats a big win!
Not being all England grass court champion in Spalding!

Maybe he will Wimbldon later, good luck to him!

He has 8 Masters 1000 titles... putting him joint-sixth on the all-time list. Not exactly terrible.

Yes, he's never won a slam but his tournament record recently is as good as Federer's...

He's good but he's not in the same league as R-Feds.

Not in the same league as the best tennis player of all time... who'd have thought

Angus Podgorny?

Exactly.

Recent record or no recent record. Nowhere near Federer.

He's good, but he's a good 3-7 world rank player.

Most players would be happy beating Djokovic or Federer (multiple times) in Masters 1000.

But it's like beating Spain in a friendly.

Or beating the Aussies in a one-day series.

Or beating the Kiwi's in an Autumn rugby test.

Kind of makes no difference.

It's more like beating Spain in the Euros, and then it being dismissed because it's not the World Cup.

You lot are hard bunch to please... He is 4th in the world which puts him ahead of 6,894,594,840 people on the planet. It blows me away when I think of anyone with that kind of world ranking can wake up in the morning and think "there are only 2 people on the planet better than me at what I do"

But not only that he is also meant to be Mr Congeniality as well....

Sheeesh tough gig....

I am about to be dragged to a pub with some mates to watch this. How long is it going to last?

I am not a tennis fan.

In the first group game maybe.

Well there is two options for a night out I thought I'd never have to choose between;
Nice family meal versus spit-roasting a model (in a hotel room for added sordidness)
