What a week it's been in men's tennis! Murray is the new No. 2, beating Tsonga and Del Potro en route to the Montreal title. In Cincinnati, the "Big 4" are through to the semis, with Federer-Murray facing off in one semi and Nadal-Djokovic in the other. The last time these guys all made it to the semis was at last year's US Open, when Murray was still ranked No. 6.
Nadal can reclaim the No. 2 ranking if he wins the Cincy shield, but only if Murray loses to Federer in the semis. A No. 2 ranking will guarantee a No. 2 seed in this year's US Open, which means not having to face five-time defending champion and top-seed Federer until the finals.
Now, if Murray ends up winning Cincy, he only needs to win the US Open to dethrone Federer from No. 1. It's a tough proposition, but the way things are going, this could be Murray's year.
