I don’t understand the narrative that he was part of a “big 4”.
It’s probably fair to say he was the best of the rest but the big 3 were a level above him.

Good career though

Hmmm dunno he was much closer in ability to the top three than he was the rest of the pack

He was world no1 at the end of 2016, and probably (although never would have come close to those three with grand slams) would have picked up a lot more of them if not for the hip injury that he never really recovered from

Don’t get me wrong the top three are freaks of nature and he wasn’t quite at that level I agree but not perhaps as far off as you’re stating given the amount of grand slam finals he was consistently making, the ATP titles he won and not to mention back to back gold medals at the Olympics


Special player unfortunate to be around at the time he was

That’s a position I can get on board with

I always felt Henman was underrated. He wasn’t anywhere near as good as Murray of course but he was always top 10 in the world, maybe too 5. He wasn’t at the level of Sampras but he wasn’t the bum some people made out.

I actually don’t think it’s unlikely that Murray has been in a Tennis match and thought something like “I'm glad I'm serving for the match because i need to go to the locker rooms and drop the kids off at the pool”. You get the old comfort break to take another meeting with Armitage Shanks, and even though most of the fluid you take on is sweated out of your body if you’re in a five hour five setter there’s got to be a moment where you’re desperate for a slash at the very least

Very much agree

There was no big 3, just a big 2, there was some guy called Ronald or something, but he was eclipsed by Rafa and Djoko

Your weird obsessional dislike of certain sportsmen based on nothing is out on display again I see

Something on the BBC "Is Murray Britain's greatest sportsperson"

That's a hard no.

See that is an interesting question

Who is, I don’t think there is one person who does stand head and shoulders above everyone else. Lewis Hamilton possibly?
