I'm not going to gift Murray slams if he plays against Stan given that in terms of ability they are nearly even. And Murray has failed to dominate Stan.

But you're prepared to give Roddick slams against guys he doesn't have a better H2H against? For example, Tommy Haas.

Which was enough. Put Murray in Roddick's shoes and he wouldn't have done better.

Murray did have at least 1 win over Federer at the Slams which was 1 more than Roddick managed and also notched up other big titles against Federer which Roddick never managed. Prior to his back surgery in 2013, Murray actually owned his H2H with Federer which Roddick certainly never did so, of the two, he was always the more likely to beat Federer in a Slam final even if it never materialised in either case.

lie no.1

He was always the more likely to beat Federer in a Slam final.

lie no. 2

Murray fans like the other delusional fans were hoping Federer would become cannon fodder as he got older. Let me know how that worked out for Murray.

It's the truth. I realise this is hard for you to take but the fact remains that Murray was 11-9 vs Federer in their overall H2H up to the end of 2013 when he had his back surgery (since then it's been 1 way traffic for Fed).

He would never beat Fed in a slam final, sorry to disappoint you. Never came closer than Roddick to doing so.

He was never morel likely than Roddick to beat Fed in a slam final. Murray found out the hard way that some BO3 victories over Fed wouldn't bring him slam victories.

True but, given their respective records against Federer, Murray was still the more likely of the two to do so. Sorry, but that remains my firm opinion.

Don't forget he had 2 best of 5 victories over Federer in amongst the best of 3 wins unlike Roddick so, on that basis, always had more potential to beat Federer in another one.

Agreed the 2012 Wimbledon final had me worried (even before the match) when Murray won the first set I was confident he would go on to win.
But luckily Fedr pulled through and Andy won Wimbly the following year :D

How worried were you when they met on the same spot just a few weeks later in the Olympic final? :D

I pretty much conceded before the match that Murray was gonna win because of Fed’s war with Delpo.
The loss still hurt though :(

Look everybody a lying Murray fan! Murray didn't OWN the H2H w/Federer prior to Murray having back surgery just an excuse because the H2H went south so that is a lie and Murray has only won ONE set in his 3 meetings w/ Federer in GS finals.

He’s not lying? Murray did have back surgery in 2013 and it most certainly had an impact on his future meetings with Fed.

So by that logic Hewitt was the more likely than Roddick to beat Fed in a slam final going by their records.

Says his partner in crime. The minor back surgery excuse is because Murray fans can't cope with the fact an OLDER Federer is getting the best of a YOUNGER Murray. But don't worry Murray fans were the only fans to make that mistake.

Well, if someone is 11-9 vs their opponent that usually translates to ownership of the H2H (even if close) and that was the case right up to the end of 2013 when Murray had his back surgery. Since then, Federer has won all their encounters and now owns their H2H 14-11. What's difficult for you to grasp about these simple facts unless, as I suspect, you are simply a Murray-hating Fedfanatic who can't abide being faced with facts you would rather not contemplate. If you don't like it...tough. There's nothing more to be said. Cheerio!

H2H is a very flawed metric. Federer beat everyone but a handful of players, who only met him when playing their very best. When not playing their very best, they lost to other players.

Murray first beat Federer when he was 19 and Fed was 25. Prior to Fed's 30th birthday the H2H was 8-6 in Murray's favour. Murray knew what it was like to play peak/prime Federer and beat him.

Basically hoping Federer would become cannon fodder as he aged. On a Murray fan forum, some posters were pissed because a 36 year old Federer is able to beat younger players.

Little good that did him because it didn't actually occur in a GS final against Federer. Neither Murray or Roddick won a GS final against Federer. Roddick was actually closer than Murray could ever dream of.

He came closer at 2009 Wimbledon but still fluffed his chances. Unlike him Murray has beaten Federer in a Slam and also in other big finals including the 2012 Olympic final in best of 5 sets in the very same spot where they played the Wimbledon final a few weeks earlier. Murray was also the more likely to beat Federer in a Slam final than Roddick simply because, unlike Roddick, Murray had experience of beating Federer in big finals.

You saw my above post. I am coping just fine because the present looking bright for Federer while Murray's present not so much. Federer fans don't have to look in the past. Murray and Roddick has NEVER BEATEN A NON-TIRED FEDERER IN ANY FINAL. Two can play this game Mr. Murray HAD BACK SURGERY.

Well, you don't seem to care about the stages of a player's career since you mention a Murray win over 2013 Federer as some proof that he would beat him in a slam final.

Hewitt was 7-2 against Federer at the end of 2003 after Fed won Wimb. Beat him in Davis Cup in 2003.

Make as many excuses as you like. Fact remains that Murray beat Federer in 2 Masters finals when Fed was absolutely fine. Roddick never beat him at any final.

Murray played no better at 2012 Wimb than Roddick at 2004 Wimb.

Sigh..I never offered it as proof of anything. I said it was an indicator that Murray was more likely to beat Federer in a Slam final than was Roddick.

Fair enough in which case I would agree that Hewitt was more likely to beat Federer in a Slam final at that time than was Roddick.

Make all the excuses you like Roddick and Murray are in the same boat. Have WAY less GS titles than Federer and none of the one's they have won came against Federer.

Lol...MOST players have way less Slam titles than Federer so that's no particular shame but the fact remains Murray still had more success against Federer at the Slams and in big tour finals than Roddick so, of the two, he still had more potential to beat him in a Slam final (note that I said potential and not that he would).

Federer is the most talented player to ever exist so there’s no shame in having much less slams than him.
90% of people on this forum already agree that Fed is GOAT so you don’t need to constantly devalue other players achievements.

If they are so proud of their favs achievements they shouldn't knowingly over-inflate them by putting down another player who is in the same boat.

He sure beat him.


Hewitt was the BIG underdog here too, ranked 7th (ended the year at 17th) and Fed was No. 2.
 
The Roddick loss in Wim 09 was a damn shame but pretty funny too in a black comedic sort of way.
 
Murray 11 slam finals. Faces djok or fed every single one bar one. Lol. Poor guy

Although the challenge of those guys definetly made murray up his level and train hard

Federer and Roddick. Roddick sadly will be looked at as a one slam wonder and he was so much better than that. Murray actually beat Djokovic in 2 slam finals and his 8 slam finals losses are all to Fed and Djokovic.

I can't think of a more soul crushing loss period than the 09 Wimbledon Final

Yes. Wawrinka at the end of the day has proven to be as good as Murray at winning the slams. Haas hasn't proven as good as Roddick.
Click to expand...

Wawrinka has never beaten a fit Andy Murray in a slam though. Like ever.

2010 US Open - Murray, still a bit of a novice too, but had the trainer out twice during the match. We can, at best, list this one as debatable.
2013 US Open - Murray had surgery on his back more or less right after that.
2017 RG - Murray might not even play to a high level again he was in such bad condition.

Genuinely just don't see Wawrinka beating a fit, form Murray at a slam, as evidenced by the occasions it has happened.
