This is a good highlight video because it shows both players having success, so you don't know which way a point is going to go. Most highlight videos tend to be biased in favor of one player.
I don't agree with people who deny the Big 4. Murray was every bit as good as his competition and was extremely unfortunate to have choked in many Grand Slam finals, more so against Djokovic than any other. In any other era it's a certainty he is an All Time Great, it is a great shame many futurists will overlook his achievements because he could've easily been 10+ GS in any other era.
Here is the problem with the Big 4. Murray was definitely a part of that group but he wasn't for a too long period (about 4,5 years) and his total title tally is not anywhere near the big 3. So the big 4 is more like a period, something between 2011 and 2016 (which is not a short period) but the big 3 is an era that lasts from about 2007 up to 2021 and also the big 3 is a name for 3 biggest champs of the game. The big 4 is a 5 year time period, the big 3 is a name for 3 biggest champs in sports history.
Murray wasn't brave. He'd become passive for large parts of his career. He could've had more success if he had that killer instinct and was more clutch.
If people would even understand a real meaning of that "Big" clause, from back then, they wouldnt use such title so easely Big player is the one who win most Big titles (Slam or ATP Finals or Masters or Olympics), or at least going above previous record hold by Lendl with 33. Federer was first going above that number in 2009., Nadal in 2013. and Djokovic in 2015. Now - That's Big3 formation That was a race really and exactly that achivement (going above 33 Big titles) is the meaning of Big3 😉 Current Big title numbers looks like: 1. Djokovic 69 2. Nadal 59 3. Federer 54 4. Lendl 33 ... 12. Murray 20 Murray was kept as possible so hypothetical Big since with 20 Big titles in 2016 it still looked like he could achieve that 34 in next couple years too... but no, he get injured and that is it. If Murray achived at least that 34, no wonder, nobody would deny nor argue Big4 But we cant say Murray is that one, when that really is Ivan The Terrible (of tennis) 😊 Nowdays (since Djokovic's record looks crazy), people think in general meaning that Big is the one who is just winning or going to winning whatever Big title... which is fine to use (as there is no real race like before), but that was not an original meaning at the time. Wanna be Big? literally meant "Break a previous eras Big titles record" or simply "Race above 33 Big titles" , so really going above Lendl's Big title count. Anybody stiil wonder why Djokovic exploded in his peak years 2011-2016 making just there 40 Big titles!!!! During the same period Nadal made 15, Murray 14 and Federer 10. So yeah Murray was actually 3. best back at the time of Djokovic's peak and very near Nadal. But sadly, that didnt lasted for him for longer.
@@milankostic5401 I don't deny this on a statistical level and agree with everything you said. It's unfortunate of course that the injury did it as the conversation went away from being part of that crop as he could've managed to win more big titles and providing competition for Novak and Nadal. I think Murray would've definitely continued his form and chipped away from Nadal and Novak's current title tally but that's a whole another debate and fact is we will never know because it never happened. I'm judging him for his tennis ability and what he had achieved relative to Novak, Federer and Nadal up to his injury. He was still behind in slams but made the matches extremely competitive between those greats and won a decent amount of big titles as you've mentioned. When you look at the gap between Murray and the rest of the competition below him, there was no debate that he was the biggest threat to the current greats. I think it's just a shame that he won't be remembered much when he would likely dominate more in previous eras.
@@catalyst2155 There are too many hypothetical situations, it's better to just stick with what happened. Murray had potential but in the end he didn't manage to achieve as much....
Here come the fedals with the weak era fantasies 😂 you play against the competition you have. These guys are the same which got infuriated when anybody said federer had it easy in his prime. Anyways, Novak dominated the golden era of tennis from 2011 to 2016.. So novak doesn't have to prove anything.
Djokovic led the H2H 11-8 vs Murray up until Andy's back surgery in late 2013, it was such a close rivalry... Murray is 100 times better than Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Ruud, Fritz, Rublev and Zverev combined

I guess Novak won at least 3 gs and some other bigger tournaments just cause of his mental strength. It s unbelievable how he turned some final big matches (i remember 2 agains federer) and i guess there were also others i cannot remember. He was never the better tennis player in such games, but he was much better with the mental toughness. He deserves every record he has.
Yeah. Djokovic until 2011 was only slightly better than Murray. In my HUMBLE opinion, Murray s inability to flatten his forehand and play more aggresive tennis was a reason why he had not much success against BIG 3 on slams. Except 2012-2013 Djokovic and 2008 USO Rafa( who was being abused on HC significantly).
