Will Murray be the first player in the Open era to win every important title available to him?

[timnz]

He only has to win the Indian Wells and Monte Carlo and the Australian Open and the French Open.He has won Miami, so he can win Indian Wells - which is on a similar surface (and he has been to the final there as well). He has won Madrid and Rome so he can win Monte Carlo. And he made the French Open final this year - so that is winnable too. And of course he is a 5 time finalist at the Australian Open - so that is very winnable. He would then have every Masters 1000 (achieving the Career Golden Masters), Olympic Singles Gold, the WTF, Davis Cup and all 4 Slams.

Note: Andre Agassi had only the Grand Slam Cup (the ITF season end finals) to win to complete his set in the 1990's - which he came close to winning (lost in 5 sets in the final in 1998).

Don't forget the Australian Open.

AO, FO, Indian Wells, Monte-Carlo.

It's possible but a mighty ask.

peak Federer, Nadal and Djokovic haven't done it.

 

[cc0509]

NO!

 

[The Fedfather]

I don't think he'll win the French next year and beyond that it's not exactly promising. The Indian Wells is unlikely as well. He has a great chance at the AO and Monte Carlo if Djokovic doesn't sort things out but that's it IMO.

Win all important titles? Kidding?
Of course anything is possible,but the probability is near 0.

 

[noobforehand20]

you mixed things a little, its indian wells the one he has to win as he is won the miami open more than once

 

[duaneeo]

I definitely see him eventually winning the AO, Monte Carlo, and Indian Wells. Not so sure about RG.

Probably not but we'll see.

You are right! I am added it in.

It is a mighty ask - but there is nothing in that group of titles that is beyond him. The AO - very winnable, FO - harder than AO but he's been close, Indian Wells - similar to Miami which he has won twice - so that is a no-brainer. I don't think that Monte-Carlo is harder to win than Rome which he has won. So difficult, but completely within his abilities.

What out of the AO, FO, Monte Carlo and Indian Wells would be near impossible for him to win?

Oh my gosh, guys please stop with this recency thing. Murray isn't going to win a CYGS next year and he isn't going to win every big tennis title. Perspective please!

Come on dude. What's the definition of "ALL"?

 

[timnz]

Come on dude. What's the definition of "ALL"?

I get you, I just don't think winning them all is going to be completely beyond him

I didn't say he would do it all in 2017 and I didn't even mention the CYGS. But don't be surprised if he chips away on those 4 big titles he hasn't won yet.
