What a tennis player and even better person by sounds of things, constantly championing equality etc hence why he's held in such high regard. What a career he's had and had he been born 5 years earlier or 5 years later he'd probably have won 10 grand slams

Yeah…. So unlucky to be in tennis greatest era of players.
But winning 3 majors shows how good he was, he just kept going, determination, passion and no little talent.

And 2 Olympic golds. Pretty sure he would have won a couple more tournaments if it wasn't for injury. I was thinking of how tough it was to have been there alongside Federer, Rafal and Djokovic. Then again whatever the era there tends to be stiff competition. Becker, Lendl, McEnroe, Connors, Borg, Agassi. Crazy though that Federer, Djokovic and Nadal are probably the best three ever making Murray's wins look even better

Those 3 are the best by an absolute mile
 
Scotland greatest ever sportsman in my opinion.
Certainly the greatest tennis player this country has ever produced or every likely to produce.
He has given everything to achieving the maximum he could, and IMO would have won more Grand Slams had he not had the three best players of all time emerging at the same time.

All the best Andy and thanks for everything.

He's better than that IMO 😉👍
 
In an era where 3 of the best to ever play the game dominated, for a period of about a year Andy was the best tennis player in the world. Proved so many doubters wrong - "he's a choker", "he'll never win a slam", "he'll never win Wimbledon" etc. Nothing left to prove, a Scottish sporting legend. Thanks for the memories, Andy!

He sure did. He even won like a Hibbie if you know what I mean. Never comfortable, always hovering on the edge of disaster. But win he did.

Wish I had a tenth of his focus.

If he was born 5 years earlier or 5 years later he'd have won 10 slams. The fact he won 3 when he did is pretty incredible as it is, apart from Murray and wawrinka didn't the "big 3" win every other slam for about 10 years? Ridiculous

I seem to recall Del Porto winning a US Open.
 
Between 2006 and 2020, that's 56 Grand slams, wawrinka won 1 Australian open, 1 us open and 1 french open, Murray won 2 wimbledon and 1 us open, del Porto, cilic and thiem won 1 US open each - so 47 out of 56 went to the big 3 - ridiculous
