yep winning 1 of the last 14 GS events means he has a chokehold on the world.

It's like you can't even read.

Exactly, so it would take luck or a bad day from them which would mean it's unlikely. 'Too good not to win a grand slam' is useless when there are 2 or 3 guys better.

andy murray has a winning record vs top 10 players overall, with something like 60% vs federer

100th repeat: playing records don't say a thing because 90% of them are made on small tournaments!! :mad:

On big finals/semis he wouldnt be able to make it.

What is the argument even about?

Murray's positive winning record against other top 5 players is so uninteresting because it's all about the Grand Slams... no one cares about all the other tournaments at the end of the day.

However, I don't see why Murray shouldn't win a Grand Slam one day... he got what it takes, but I don't think he'll ever "dominate" anything... he'll always be a step behind I think, but that doesn't mean that he can't have a couple of periods in his career where everything is just working great including during a Grand Slam eventually leading to his first GS victory. I can see Murray standing with 1-3 grand slam titles when he's done playing tennis.

Finals of tournies that nobody who matters gives 2 shits about.

Hell half the tournies Federer participates in now are just warm ups for majors rofl.

3 GS finals and 3 more GS semi's.

Yep. no one gives a shit about the Australian Open, French Open, US open or Wimbledon.

Good call.
