a major.
He has to be the most overrated player of the last 5 years.
Forget beating Nadal and Federer at Slams he just isn't talented enough to be mentioned in the same breath as them.
Until the last year Djokovic was closer to him in the rankings but now Djoko has reached the level that Murray can only dream of reaching. Even Del Potro is way talented and better than him and if not for his unfortunate injury would easily have trounced him in the rankings.
Unless Federer retires, Nadal gets injured, Djoko gets knocked out and Del Potro suffers another serious injury Murray can only dream of winning his first major.
He just doesn't have the mental toughness required to win a major. Don't even get me started on his foul mouthedness when things don't go his way and his general uncharismatic nature compared to the Rafa, Federer or Djokovic.
ANDY MURRAY WILL NEVER WIN

I feel asleep Jonty and did not get to see Dolgopolov unfortunately, but it looks like he went exactly the same way out of the tournament as Muller just did. They fight for a set, and then the superior skills of the top players just takes over, and when you couple that with the wilting self belief of the weaker players, it usually ends up 3:0
You know something, Andy may never win a major or he may win one, or even some, but who cares? He gives me hours of pleasure on a tennis court and once again he showed today that he is far from rubbish, and dare I say it, even quite excellent?
He is still carrying the flag, still in the competition and once again he moves to the business end of a tennis competition. COME ON ANDY
Jonty, don't forget we are an hour infront of you over here so these late games get very late for me lol :p

No he wouldn't and comments like this border on the idiotic and make you look a clown.

"Don't even get me started on his foul mouthedness when things don't go his way and his general uncharismatic nature compared to the Rafa, Federer or Djokovic."
who gives a toss if he is charismatic or not? I do not watch tennis for the players charisma off court and a bit of swearing and shouting is enjoyable to watch imo.
I like Murray, not just for his tennis, but because he winds up so many of the little Englanders.

Maksi Dolgopolov said afterwards it was fitness. Keep an eye out for him he's a great entertainer.
See you on FB.

Will do Jonty. Have to admit I know nothing about the lad, and to be honest, he had no chance of beating Djoko this week. Feds is having a go now, and the match is an absolute classic.

Unbelievable, Djoko saves 2 match points and breaks back. The man is a machine?
