Yes, 2016 was his best year. That Murray was a beast, in his prime. 2016 was the year of Murray, like 2011 and 2015 were Djoker's years. Murray has won 2 Golden Medals (in 2012 and in 2016) (and also 2 Wimbledon titles). *LEGEND.*

So easy to forget how good these two were at their peaks when we watch their performances today. Great to look back sometimes.

Murray was one of the best players in the world on clay, even though it was his worst surface. 95% of clay court specialists would kill to win two Masters on clay and get to the FO final.

Gosh, I remember watching Murray most of my young adulthood, and I forgot how aggressive he was during this match. He has always been a defensive monster, but this day, even his forehand was launching bombs. Many often reference the big 3, but in my opinion there will always be the big 4. Respect ❤

Andy at Peak was fantastic. Mainly, his consistency this year was extraordinary. He showed immense consistency and high performance on clay, which is his weak point, and was truly unbeatable after the Davis Cup.

2016 was the best year of Andy Murray in tennis. He was a real beast, in his prime. Murray has won 2 Golden Medals (in 2012 and in 2016) (and also 2 Wimbledon titles). *LEGEND.*

@@VashTheStampede4K Yea, and he also beat Djokovic in US open 2012. Must be noted that the US open 2012 was very windy, and Novak is notoriously poor in the wind. And in Wimbledon 2013, Novak had just come off a marathon match against Del Potro that deprived him of all energy. In other words, the slam H2H could easily be 10-0 in favor of Djoker, instead of 8-2. By no means am I detracting from Murray’s greatness or “excusing” these Djokovic losses, in fact they were well deserved for Andy. I’m just alluding to the fact that he was better than everyone else, yet still SO far behind the big 3. Quite incredible really that such a gap exists between them.

@@Mark-ut5oq Having said what you said, and to then say that you are not detracting - simply is contradictory. Not clear what you are going for here, yes Murray won those matches but xyz happened so it was not really that great? All those circumstances you pointed out are just part of the sport. There could be numerous times that Novak/Fed/Nadal benefitted the same way. Also, mentioning wind as a mitigating factor in an outdoor sport such as tennis is implausible.

@@robertingersoll3039 Novak cannot cope with wind well, unlike Nadal who is the best player of all time in windy conditions. Murray deserved to win both of those matches, of course. I’m simply stating that it’s plausible that Novak could have beat Murray in all 10 of their major meetings. Murray only occasionally troubled Djokovic outside of those two grand slam victories for Murray. The AO 2012 and FO 2015 were the only two where Murray stood up to Novak. Even in the French open 2015, Novak was mostly in control despite it going 5. The other 6 matches were pretty much beatdowns in favor of Novak. It’s astounding that despite Murray being a great player, he is THAT far below the big 3.

His best match was against Wawrinka in the RG SF that year. Well done, played aggressive from start to finish

Murray was the closest player to reach big 3 level. Imagine getting 3 GS AND world no 1 in that era. Delpo, Wawrinka, Cilic, Thiem, Medvedev, etc etc are all dreaming one day they could do that. Some respect for him if he was born in this era he easily dominates

Stan Wawrinka is probably the most mystifying outside the big 3. In 2014 AO he had to overcome Novak in 5 sets on his favorite surface during the quarters, Number 7 ranked Berdych in the Semi's, and Rafa Nadal in the final. It was for me the ultimate underdog tale.

Murray on ATP was a beast

Nadal just said in recent interview that Murray is the only one closest to the big 3 in terms of level of tennis. One of the big 3 saying that is unquestionable .

It hurts!

Andy’s lobs are OP. Tho I wonder if his racquet tap on the ground @10:45 was intentionally done to distract Rafa on that crucial overhead…🤔

Murray Djokovic is boring rivalry . Nadal vs Federer, Djokovic,Murray in clay is cult classic

Havent played tennis for while. Are the racquet and strings a bit better in 2024 vs 2016? Or little difference? Why ask? Like are the top players hitting a bit faster these days on clay?

Murray in 2016: Aus Open - runner up. Madrid - runner up. Rome - winner. Roland Garros - runner up. Wimbledon - winner. Olympics - gold. Cincinnati - runner up. US Open - Quarters. Shanghai - winner. Paris - winner. Tour finals - winner. Simply unreal from the start of the clay season, shame that he couldn't keep this level up for another year or two.

2016 Murray Djokovic best year and Rafa worst year but still rafa fighted till end

Never caught the dirty hinderance play by Murray @ 10:45 . That should have been called.

Murray brought the physicality

Better part of the decade was the only guy who could live with the big 3. Slower to get consistently up to his top level, and long term injuries kicked in then as well. In a different era, or without the injuries, he could have had a lot more grand slam trophies.

Il medico della mutua

Let's go ANDY. !!

From 2008 to 2017, it was always Big 4+ Stan...

Novak should've won French open in 2015. He was really lucky that Rafa withdrew from Roland Garros mid-way before the 3rd round. Rafa was playing really high quality after a poor 2015 and AO 2016. He won Monte Carlo and Barcelona,made semis at Caja majica and Foro italico. His match against Novak at Rome open was really frustrating to watch where squandered too many opportunities. You never know but if they had faced each other at Roland Garros again in 2016,Rafa would've given Novak a run for his money. Murray always played great at Madrid,just like Sascha zverev does. He also beat Rafa here in 2015 final. 2016 was an year to remember for Murray

Dimitrov: "... and Andy... and Andy... there you go 😉"

Nadal was so bad in 2015-16, mostly mentally. His body was still good, but he lacked confidence during that time. Some matches he should have never lost.

Murray Prime 😢

Murray and Djokovic were all over the circuit in 2016 just like Rafa and Djokovic were in 2011...

So that's how Nadal was... He wasn't half bad His strike was like a rocket aiming at each angle, always in. So accurate, so powerfull even in his lo-game i'm impressed Now i understand why he was among the 3best ever

Honestly Nadal was like 60% of his usual best in 2016 (better than his previous 2015 season, but still), but Murray was playing exceptionally well in 2016. He was already playing well in 2015, but in 2016 he went the extra mile by reaching his first (and last) RG final only to lose to Novak (who completed Novak slam and career grand slam), winning another Wimbledon title (after 2013) and another olympic gold medal in singles (after 2012), winning the WTF for the first time, and ending the season as world no.1 for the first time. I think Murray's best performance of his career was in 2012, but 2016 is by far his best season in terms of records.

Madrid is faster than normal clay tournaments. This felt like a hard court match.

It’s so interesting to me that Murray has beaten Nadal on clay in Spain more than once. Meanwhile, Nadal has beaten Murray on grass in the UK more than once.

Murray did not play an excellent game.... It's Nadal who played a miserable game... very miserable game.... Rafael Nadal played so rusty.... The long months of injury that sidelined Nadal was very obvious in his game - the errors, the footwork, the slow plays.... Nadal should decide whether to continue playing or retire completely. The future for Nadal looks bleak....
