Jim Courier commented last night during the match between Stan and Tiafoe, whom he defeated in straights and in vintage form.
"I know Murray and Stan each won 3 slams but I'll take peak Stan over peak Murray vs. the big 3 anytime.
Stan's peak form was just a bully against the Big 3 in slams. Murray wasn't."
"Career wise you take Murray for sure but if it's one match against the big 3 in peak form, Stan all day.
When he retires we will miss that sweet backhand and of course Stan's pajama shorts at the French."
He did mention the difference between these two with Murray having 14 Masters 1000 titles to Stan's 1, a Gold singles medal and being more consistent.
Stan has easy power off both fh and bh as well as a very good unreadable serve. When you think about it's odd Stan wasn't as consistent as Murray in master's. Higher risk game I guess.
For me Stan has the most beautiful 1hbh ever. Ever! Yes, better than Musetti, Fed, Pete, Stefan, Lendl, Dimitrov and Gasquet. No need to post videos because they won't change my mind.
