CAMELOT FANTASIES

General, Murray was robbed of 1000 Olympic points by the ATP.   

The ATP wanted the ITF to subsidize the ATP tournaments affected by the Olympics, and they wouldn't agree to the ITF offer.   So the ATP did not award points for the Olympics and then extended that to Davis Cup as well.   This internal squabble between the ITF and the ATP should have remained that.  Why did the ATP punish the players by not awarding the points?  It was scheduled to award 1000 points to the winner this year.  They got their medals and that's it.   All the  medalists lost out on a good amount of points:  In singles it would have been 1000 to Murray, 600 to Del Potro, 360 to Nishikori. 

It's my belief that the ATP should retroactively award the points.

So Murray should be only about 500 points away from #1.  If he ends the season as less than 1000 points from Djokovic, I'll consider Murray Year End #1 no matter what the ATP says.
