Stan needs just one more, Murray needs two. Ergo, easier for Stan.

Tough to say. He used to struugle on faster HC too before he won the USO.
The guy can GOAT for 2 weeks and win any slam. Even Wimb. Murray doesn't have that quality.
Plus mathematically speaking, Stan has to win only 1 more slam. Murray 2.
Yes, Stan strugglesvon grass, but let's not pretend like Murray will start GOATING on clay after just 1 final in his entire career.

Stan, but only in the same way you're more likely to win the state lottery than the Powerball. Neither is happening.

Neither. Stan's game takes way too much time to set up on grass. Unless he gets a cakewalk draw and faces someone like Gasquet in the final, he'll never win Wimbledon. Andy may win AO in 2018, but I don't see him ever winning the FO. I gave him a fairly good chance this year, but with this elbow tear, he's not coming back to win FO.

Murray has a better chance. I think he will get an AO before the end of his career, French is still a question mark.
Wawrinka probably not good enough on grass but he was unfortunate to get injured 2014 against Federer. He was playing well then so maybe he can in the future?

Stan only needs to luck out a few wins on grass; if his serve is clicking he may do it. Andy maybe needs less luck but has to do it twice. I'd say Stan is a bit closer.
Andy's injury makes a FO in 2017 a very small probability so his chances just went down another notch.
Both men, however, have defied big odds before. Both might still do so again

Murray has a good chance at RG if he recovers quickly and well enough this year, and Nadal underperforms as has become customary for him these past few years (would that be considered underperforming then?). AO is too far away.
Wawrinka has the tools to win at Wimbledon but his current game isn't suited for it. But if he improves his serve and slice, he can do it.
As of right now, Stan is more likely to do it first if they both somehow pull it off. In terms of who's more likely to have achieved it at the end of their respective careers though, I'd say Murray.
Overall though, I find tennis is too unpredictable to say definitively whether I believe one, both, or neither of them can or will do it. I don't know how everyone else seems to be so sure about these things.
