I admire the top players, they aren't the best without a reason, but I don't like them as you already know they are going to win most of the time, that's no fun. Novak is worshiped like a deity in Serbia, and I hate the over-exaggeration of everything involving him (I am fully aware of his tennis skills etc).
Murray is/was considered as part of the top 4 back in a few years. So I'd put him still there. He's a lot better in my eyes than Wawrinka, Berdych, Nishikori, Ferrer so the "second string".
I can imagine. :) I don't like him too much just respect him because of his skills.
Id definitely say Murray is still a top 4 player.He's miles ahead of the 4 you have mentioned. He was poor last season, but that was due to his operation and he then spent the remainder of the season finding his game again.
I've watched Murray grow as player since his Wimbledon debut when he was 17 and if one thing is apparent, its that Murray's problem doesn't lie with lack of skill or conviction, but in his sporting mentality. He's in a constant battle with himself on court, particularly when he's losing or having a bad set. He lets this get to him too easily and becomes overcome by his emotions. Plenty of players do this, but Murray openly displays it and your opponent can see this and use it to their advantage. I think and hope well see a lot more from him this season.
That is his major problem, I agree. The Australian Open final is just a clear evidence of that. Djokovic rarely even made a sound (I remember him yelling only once), but Andy was screaming in the third and fourth set ("So many times! How do you do it to yourself?! How?!", "So unhelpful, so unhelpful!", "Don't worry about him, he does it all the time!" and I caught him screaming something like: "It's not your fault, it's nobody's fault!"). Anyone can just feed on that. When I play FIFA with my friend, and when I lose/concede stupid goals, I kick my radiator with my foot and/or just scream random sounds while my friend mimics cumming onto my face and kicks my ass in the game even more. Simple as that. If you make your rival feel superior, it's done for you.
In the past year, when Andy's been losing the set/match, he'd just start laughing, and that's not good either. There's no perfect solution, you can only unleash your anger with hitting the ball. Though I understand how being almost powerless can make you feel, I can only imagine how it is if you play it for big money.
Having some personal life issues with my girlfriend in the last few days and I didn't take it too serious until today, but at some point I gotta face it. So, doesn't really matter that I gotta be up early tomorrow morning, I'm gonna spend this night with rippin' some joints and listening Tiesto's 'Just Be' while drifting through my thoughts.
EDIT: fuck it's 997 posts for me, this would be a nice one for 1000th. :)
Now that I know this actually exists, the world is a much better place :)

My roommate and I are having some company even now, at 4:00. Happens more often than it should during tough weeks of exams.
