A comparision of Wawrinka vs Murray at HC slams

Gotta give the edge to Murray , all those masters , YEC , Olympics and more slam finals are more worth than the extra slam Stan has .

According to TTW those few weeks of Stan being hot trumps years of collecting and performing at high level to achieve what Murray did.

Stan played at a high level for big parts of like a 4 year period in majors tbh and has a decent H2H vs Murray but he is not a greater player.

Lol wasn't this the last match before Murray's back surgery?

He crazily played Davis cup after the US Open before the back surgery.

Just another example of what he put his body through when he could have been resting instead.

No one really wants to give him that sort of credit though.

Good question honestly. That Wawrinka beat Murray twice at the U.S Open, including once well before his late career prime in 2010, and is 2-1 at the Open might be another argument in his favor in just hard court slams.

Funny how Stan gets shaded but guys like Medvedev, Zverev and Berrettini get praised :unsure:
Med and zverev have overall better resume, I have no problem if somebody want only slam comparison but remember it will come to bite you at different point.
Stan has very good peak but he didn't achieve much outside slam, so anybody who is at same number of slam will be rated over him

Zverev definitely not until he wins atleast 1 slam. I am not a "slams only" guy but there is no planet we are going to start suddenly saying guys with 0 slams have "better resume" than guys with 3.

That is not even mentioning the 'not winning a slam yet' in this **** poor era we are in today thing.

Not in comparison to Stan but in general, what I meant was that with great titles outside slam, if they ever equal anybody in slam number they will be rated ahead

I'd go for Murray.

13 QFs, 9SFs, 7 Fs and 1 W
VS
11 QFs, 6SFs, 2 Fs and 2 Ws

His additional QFs, SFs and sheer number of Fs outweigh Stan's one additional win. The disparity between the two becomes even more apparent away from the slams: Masters win, 500/250 wins, surface winning percentage etc.

I always say Djokovic dominance post 2010 was so beneficial for Wawrinka. While Djokovic dealt with Fed Nadal and Murray well he struggled with Stan. If it was Nadal or Fed dominating Stan wouldn’t have a slam or maybe one max
