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.
Murray in slam finals vs fed:
lost badly in 3 sets in USO 08
lost convincingly in 3 sets in AO 10
lost in a very good match in 4 sets at Wim 12
Roddick in slam finals vs fed :
lost in a very good match in 4 sets at Wim 04
lost convincingly in 3 sets in Wim 05
lost in a good match in 4 sets at USO 06
lost in a ATG match in 5 sets in Wim 09
Roddick played very good in 3 of his slam finals (USO 03, Wim 04, Wim 09), good in one of them (USO 06) and decent/below par in one (Wim 05).
So very good in 3/5 and good or better in 4/5.
Murray played very good in (Wim 12, USO 12, Wim 13, Wim 16) , good in 2 of them (AO 13, AO 15) and decent/below par in (USO 08, AO 10, AO 11, AO 16, RG 16)
So very good in just 4/11, good or better in 6/11.
Data suggests Roddick has done better and would be more likely to do better vs Federer in a slam final, even with Murray's h2h vs fed being clearly (due to Bo3 matches mainly)
