and From Era 2 Tony Trabert Winner of 5 grand slam titles but did not win an Australian Title.

One of the greatest players in era 1 Lew Hoad

Need another hard Court champion and im going with a guy who is still playing and is just hitting peak. Winning a gold medal, winning the latest grandslam and runner up in the one before.

Playing in an era with 2 of the greatest of all time and also novak and is competing with them.

Murray has a winning record against fed 9-8 (8-7 hardcourt) and is 1 game down against Novak with 7-8 (6-6 Harcourt)

hanst been able to compete with Nadal on clay or grass going down 0-7 but on Harcourt its another story with it 5-6 in nadals favour.

So against the big 3 on hardcourt its 19-19 not bad against some of the greatest of all time and he is only just hitting his stride.

Andy Murray

Lists are updated, Keep aware of the rules about only 5 players from Era 2 & 3 until you get 2 players from era 1. Once that happens you can get 3 more from Era 2 or 3. I will pick soon.

Torpedo10 · October 15, 2012, 07:27:51 PM

In the end an easy decision.

Pancho Gonzalez from Era 1.
