@bjsnider Not a snarky question but a legit one:
Your thesis: Andy Murray is among the 12 greatest players of the OE when he has three major titles.
One would assume most tennis historians would list the men listed below as so far ahead of Murray it would be laughable, and I'm omitting Emerson who won 12 slams. I'm also omitting Tilden and Perry, since all are pre-OE. Hell, I'm even ignoring Rosewall since a portion of his 8 slams were won pre-OE. I'll restrict my list to all OE players:
Djokovic/Fed/Nadal: 60 slams total between them
Pete: 14 slams
Borg/Laver both 11 majors
Connors/Agassi/Lendl : each won 8 slams
Wilander: 7 slams
Becker, Edberg/Newcombe: each won 6 slams (Newcombe won more in non-OE).
Adding this up, we have
13 guys with more than DOUBLE the slams Muzz has. I'm not even mentioning players with 4 slams like Courier or Vilas (who won twice as many titles as Murray in addition).
But Murray's an ATG? Care to justify that he's one of the 12 greatest in the OE? Who do we toss out of the list above to slam Murray into ATG status with 3 major titles? Again, not being b-tchy, I just have no clue how anyone justifies such an assertion.
