This thread would have been a joke whenever it were started.

Djokovic ended every year since either became relevant ranked above Murray, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. Djokovic had better slam results even before 2011, the ATP World Championship, more Masters titles and finals, and more tournament titles. How could this ever be even discussed.

I think it was accidentally bumped judging by the previous post.

Actually Murray had 6 Masters titles to Djokovic's 5 at the start of the 2011 season. It was his one (brief) area of superiority in results. Although Djokovic was always ahead in every other respect, I always felt the gap was quite narrow prior to 2011.

I actually didnt know Murray had briefly passed Djokovic in Masters titles. Thanks for pointing that out. That is impressive considering Djokovic became a real top player about 18 months sooner than Murray, and Murray still managed to pass him in that stat when Djokovic was always a formidable Masters performer. Still Djokovic with his Slam title, ATP World Championship title, consistently better slam results, and consistently higher ranking, always had the edge. Even before he became Djokovic01.

Murray actually won his 1st ATP title ( 2006 San Jose) 5 months sooner than Djokovic won his (2006 Amersfoort). Both entered the top 10 for the first time within a few weeks of each other in the spring of 2007. Djokovic leapt ahead at that point and made great strides from 2007-9 capturing his first Slam, WTF and 5 Masters titles. Murray kind of plodded on behind reaching and losing 2 Slam finals and winning 4 Masters titles by the end of 2009. By 2010, it seemed he was rapidly closing the gap. Both made 1 Slam final and 1 Slam semi that year though Djokovic did slightly better in the others with 2 quarter-final showings. But, for the first time since 2007, he made no Masters finals at all that year while Murray won 2 more which is why he was one ahead of him by the end of 2010. At the start of 2011, it seemed Murray was soon about to close the gap. But, of course, we all know what happened with Djokovic in 2011!

Agreed.

When I was a little filly and the sun was going down
The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown
I'd hide under my pillow from what I thought I saw
But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way to deal with fears at all
She said, 'Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall, learn to face your fears
You'll see that they can't hurt you
Just laugh and make them disappear...'
Ha, ha, ha!
So, giggle at the ghostly
Guffaw at the grossly
Crack up at the creepy
Whoop it up with the weepy
Chortle at the kooky
Snortle at the spooky
And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... HAHAHAHA...heh...
LAAAAAAAUUUGH!
