Will Murrays achievements be equalled or bettered, possibly.?

Will Andersons achievement be equalled or bettered by anyone almost certainly not?

Murray is head and shoulders the most magnificent sportsman we’ve ever had. Full stop.

He’s right up there certainly but how about Bobby Moore for example and a few others. Perhaps one of the most would be more accurate.

With that statement you've crossed vibe boundary of just an Andy Murray thread and opened it up for a free for all of peoples different opinions.

No I did not. Hence the “full stop”. Which means the complete opposite ?

Well since their is absolutely no room for other opinions. You killed this Murray thing dead. I would suggest you close the thread, as you have spoken, it is law.

With Sir Mo Farah, Daley Thompson, Mark Cavendish, Jimmy Anderson and Sir Lewis Hamilton unable to get through.

And people who know a lot more about motor sport history than me (i.e. just about everyone) might suggest Jim Clark or Jon Surtees.

Oh, and is there a Medium in the house? If we're talking GOAT, I'd be interested to hear what CB Fry has to say...

Don’t get me started on Lewis Hamilton, he is not a sportsman he is a manufacturers driver
 

Sir Andy Murray

He's been on some journey since then. Eighteen years later and he's got 46 singles titles to his name.

That includes three Grand Slam triumphs, two Olympic golds and 14 Masters 1000 titles.

He spent 41 weeks as world number one, and claimed 29 victories over the 'Big Three' - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

The Scot won 739 of his 1001 ATP Tour level matches and wracked up a whopping $64,677,584 in prize money.

He's probably the best Scottish sportsperson ever
 

Sir Andy Murray

Sir Andy Murray deserves the accolades coming his way, the best British Tennis player - certainly in living memory and probably ever. To win the titles he did whilst in the company of the likes of Nadal, Djokovic and Federer and to come back from injury after injury not to mention the millstone of the expectation of the British Public at Wimbledon he was a very special sportsman.
A very intense player with a very dry sense of humour sometimes irked some but for me it just came out of the singlemindedness and will to win. He's matured as one would expect over the years and become a great ambassador for British sport. Enjoy your retirement I think it'll be a while before we see another British player of your ability and stature.

Sad way to go out.

He was really poor in that match and a shadow of the player he was.

If Andy and Dan had played at the start the way they played at the end, who knows how the match would have turned out. Great crowd who were on their side and respect to the Americans Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul for not over-celebrating the win. The tears from Dan Evans said everything you need to know about how Andy is regarded by the other Brits and the tennis world in general. Can't believe I'll never get to watch him play again ?

He spent the majority of his career on the verge of turning ‘the big 3’ into ‘the big 4’. In terms of Grand Slams, I think it was only him and Stan Wawrinka(?) that looked like joining the club and managed to win several, out of the hundreds of professionals trying, 4x a year.

Stan said recently that he was never in the same class as Andy. Yes they have the same number of grand slams, but Stan pointed out that Andy went deep into every GS he played in.

Andy also has two more Olympic golds than Wawrinka. Oh and Federer. And Djokovic. Just one more than Nadal.

Nadal has 2 golds, singles and doubles. Wawrinka has 1, with Fed in the doubles. Djokovic has a bronze.

I was referring to singles, of course. I’m sure Novak is delighted to have a bronze.

Thrilled I'd imagine ? Can't see him winning gold this year; might get a silver though. Alcaraz will win gold.
 

Sir Andy Murray

Some lovely words:

From Dan Evans: "He’s a class act and has been for years for British tennis and world tennis," said Evans. "He has spoken up on matters other people wouldn't speak about. He's a good guy."

From Novak Djokovic: "I have only praise for him," said the Serb, born a week after Murray in May 1987. "He’s been an incredible competitor out on the court and one of the greatest warriors tennis has seen. His fighting spirit is something that will inspire many generations to come. I've been inspired by him even though we're the same age."

And Carlos Alcaraz: "it was a pleasure to share the court with you. Congratulations on a legendary career and for being an example to all. You will always have a fan here".
