I like Nestor, he could have bolted for another country when things were going bad in Canada. But he's always been there in Davis Cup and will teach Raonic alot about volleying and playing the big matches. Nestor's singles isn't bad, he just can't play a full season on tour. He caused quite a few singles upsets in Davis Cup and in the majors.

Doubles is ok, they've done alot to try and spice it up, like no 'advantage' and no 3rd set. However, it's just the undercard most nights before the singles. The problem is that singles is so physically demanding nowdays that none of the top singles players can really play doubles anymore.

Finally, Murray will never win a grand slam. He's too defensive, and has no weapons to turn a match around on the big stage. His style is too physical to last 7 best-of-5 set matches.
This was his best chance, easy draw, no Soderling, no Nadal, no Federer. He only had to be one top ranked guy, and he couldn't.
