Why Andy Murray failed to become an ATG

Do you know what ever happened to that guy batz? He was a good Muri fan.

Sadly missed. He was the orginal Murray guy (long before I joined TTW) and he was funny and witty with it. Been a few years now since we last heard from him.

Thanks. Yes, he was a funny and a cool guy and rarely lost his temper, except in some exchanges with Buckethead, lol.

A poll was the only thing missing in this thread.

His peak level is simply not good enough. He is like an upgraded version of Ferrer, incredibly consistent in beating lesser players but no real competition for the big shots. Against Federer he was completely useless when it mattered most even after Fed was past his prime and against Djokovic he could only get a win when the other was playing subpar. It was always clear that when one of the big three would play anywhere close to their best Murray would have no chance to win.

Only in 2012 did I feel Murray was at that level in slams. But he didn't keep up at level for a couple more seasons.
