Re: Can Murray Become The Greatest Also-Ran ?
Only a matter of time (maybe even 4 weeks) before Murray wins a slam...No concern here.

nonsense, he was the only obvious pick 
He'd be easy pickings for MTF in his day - clearly Muggerforce Eaves

Hopefully he wins tomorrow and gets off this list.
No honor in being the GAROAT.

Re: Can Murray Become The Greatest Also-Ran ?
Murray is absolutely the best player to have not won a Slam.
A couple of people mentioned he's an underachiever. I could not disagree more! What he has achieved in his career so far is admirable. Especially in this golden era of the big three.
One thing does annoy me though. Now I like Murray and think he's a super player, but the British media referring to a "Big 4" seriously gets to me! To put him in the same league as three of the greatest ever is stretching it somewhat!

Re: Can Murray Become The Greatest Also-Ran ?
As I said, he's on the same career track as Lendl, who, at one point, had 6 slam finals, with only one win.

Re: Can Murray Become The Greatest Also-Ran ?
Seems hard to argue that he is NOT the GAROAT but today will finish the argument one way or the other won't it?
