    You can measure it by length of elite level competition. Success against the best in their field. Entertainment value, personality.

    Murray doesn't qualify in any of those measurements

    I haven't got a ****ing clue.

    I'm merely pointing out the logical definition of the superlative 'greatest'.


    There can only be one.

    Otherwise they're not the greatest

    Need to cut out the sexism, best sportsperson is what we've looking for. It's not Claire Balding.

    He sold out to Castore. Wearing a 'Murray' polo will signify 'boring, miserable man'. Come to think of it you could sell loads to people on here! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Not at all, but I am allowed to laugh at it.
    I dont like her anyway. She made me go and get her driver from the car park at Wimbledon and get him a meal and then later the same day she blanked me when I tried to talk to her.

    Fair point. Hoy also quite amazing. Still think Murray edges it.

    I'm not sure you will ever hear anyone say they love his personality! Seriously though, he has hardly competed at the top of his field for a long period of time. He had success in sporadic periods.

    You can argue that. That doesn’t make it right though.

    Robert Snodgrass would say otherwise.
