That’s an achievement

This video made me so happy. His greatness is often undermined due to recency bias. He was never the same after 2017 because of potentially career-ending injuries; but before that... People forget that between 2010-2017 it was never just the Big 3, but rather the Big 4... He competed in the strongest era of men's tennis next to the greatest 3 male players ever, and managed to win 3 Slams, 14 Masters, and 2 Olympic Golds, and 46 titles. Sir Andy Murray, ladies and gentlemen, may we never forget how great he once was ❤

Thank you! It was a big four up until 2017. Murray was winning everything, still getting to finals, was number one in the world and at the top of his game before that hip took it all away. He wasn’t an also ran, he was a contender. You don’t win 46 titles just by being ordinary.

5:54 This point reminds me of Jannik Sinner. It seems Sinner learned a thing or two (or more) from Murray. Andy’s IQ in these rallies is top notch. Definitely the BIG 4 is a fact.

Andy was so fast back then

The point at 1:49 illustrates the way the Big Three used to play against Murray: diagonal forehand tennis to prevent his smooth backhand

Nice selection of matches, Andy won the last two by breaking Federer and Djokovic serve, which is amazing. He broke Nadal on clay more than thrice and those DROPSHOTS! (Andy’s favorite shot) are marvelous. You can see where Alcaraz and Sinner learned them from in order to beat Djokovic and top 10 players now. Sir Andy Murray, a legend of its own.

@robbie5181

Although djok is more successful thats a reductive summary. Murray hits far more shots and winners on the run than djok did for example, and his determination was more within points rather than over a game in terms of management, producing different styles to novak on clutch points. I don't think Murray controlled game like djokovic did, and thats not form intelligence but because fundamentally I think they approach players and matches differently. I think murrays cross court in general is a little preferred and id argue more varied than novak on forehand in particular, both very strong backhands. I think novak also tends to be happy to strike with the optimum timing, often keeping the ball central in early build up, whereas murray again I feel tend to go wide immediately or early, betting he can cover a return with pace.

please stop comparing murray to the other 3. the fairest comparison is with stan wawrinka. there is too much difference between murray and the big three. Murray has only beaten Djokovic and Nadal twice in slams, and he has only beaten Federer once in slams. He has won 3 slams while the others are all at least 20 slams. In 2013 he won Wimbledon because Federer was injured and went out in the second round. And in the final he won against Djokovic who played the worst slam final of his career also due to the wind. In 2016 he won Wimbledon beating no one. took advantage of Djokovic's exit against Querrey and Federer's knee injury. Stan Wawrinka's slams have been much harder to get.
