Which Andy's career would you rather have?

09-03-2012, 07:58 AM

Roddick you have the one slam wonder, who will always best be known for his tirades and Wimby '09 BH Volley. But with the US Open

Murray you have his horrible performances so far in major finals. Criticized for lack of weapons yet has a Gold Medal. Plus his career is not over

Discuss

Neither?????

Both failed to live up to their billing at the slams.. I wouldn't want that tied to my back the rest of my life. The money would be nice of course though. But you can make a killing just going far in tournaments without winning any of them so that means nothing

A-Rod is a former no 1. He has a slam title to his name.
In no way is Murray guaranteed to do either of the above.

Agassifan · 09-03-2012, 08:19 AM

Murray is the better player, but Roddick has had better results (so far). 1-5 > 0-3. Also, world #1.

Doublebounce · 09-03-2012, 08:20 AM

I would take the career of any top 150 player

clayman2000 · 09-03-2012, 09:23 AM

From a straight up Roddick fan, Murray is no doubt the better player.

But at this point you take the slam and the year end no 1. Murray could easily do both, but it not guaranteed at all

You should put a poll on this thread...
Roddick, better wife/girl friend

Roddick. Murray has the better career, but it sounds more impressive when you say to your friends "I won the U.S. Open!" than "I won a lot of Masters 1000 tournaments!".

kishnabe · 09-03-2012, 09:43 AM

Murray....more money and slams in the long run.

I didn't know Brookyln came with Roddick Career deal!

veritech · 09-03-2012, 09:58 AM

as much as i like murray there is no way i can place his current career over roddick's unless he wins a slam. he can go on a tear at the masters events but as long as he doesn't win a slam his career is still a tier below roddick's.

NadalAgassi · 09-03-2012, 10:00 AM

I would rather be Murray right now than be Roddick right now since he will probably win a slam, and if he does his career easily beats Roddick even if Roddick has been #1, and there is a good chance he will win multiple slams if he wins the first anyway. However if Murray's career ended today or in the unlikely event he never wins a slam I would rather Roddick and his career.

Leto · 09-03-2012, 10:03 AM

I voted Roddick...

USO is huge if comparing where they are right now in their respective careers. In future, I still think Murray is destined to win multiple slams, however...

BTW...

Kim Spears >>> Brooklyn, IMO

batz · 09-03-2012, 10:07 AM

As of right now, you've got to go with ARod - although I'd like to think that Murray would at least match Roddick's slam count by the time he's 30.

BigServer1 · 09-03-2012, 10:07 AM

This minute? Roddick.

That will likely change in the next year or so.

09-03-2012, 10:13 AM

Because its Brooklyn...she is no ordinary female

Cormorant · 09-03-2012, 10:14 AM

When was the last time Roddick was in the top 4? 2006? Murray makes consistency look easy by comparison, but he can't touch the amazing highs enjoyed by the American over the years.

hmm roddick so far
