    People over-react with Murray, he's a top player and made yet another semi of a Grand Slam. At the moment, there are three amazing players out there, and what we have to recognise is that Murray needs time to come good against such class acts.

    I'm not a big tennis fan, but even I can see Murray's got the potential to win a Slam.

    Great win for him today...an excellent player in his own right but not quite enough to beat the top 3 when it matters ATM.

    I didn't see his match, but he must have done well to walk away with the victory.

    EDIT: Just seen the highlights and Murray was incredible. He wasn't that great in his first two matches but today he played at a very high level.

    Well done Murray.

    Not a fan as you can tell but he played well from what I saw, saying that when he's up against the three big hitters (Fed-ex, Djoko and Nadal) I never fancy him.

    If Murray was around in Henman's era he probably would of won multiple slams by now.

    Very unlucky to be around the same time as Federer (best ever) and Nadal (best clay court player ever).

    Djokovic is getting to the same levels as Nadal and Fedex now I reckon, making Murrays task of winning a Slam even harder.

    Agree with this, Djokovic is a much better player this year.

    Andy is a different class than Tim Henman, Henman only reached Wimbledon Semi's. Andy is a step up from that and has reached slam finals, not sure he is up to winning one though with the likes of Fed, Nadal and Djokovic in the mix.

    Do Murray's opponents not do their homework or something? He goes cross court with every passing shot FFS. Murray has got a piss easy draw up to the semi-finals so I expect him to get there but he will then be easily beaten by Nadal.

    He'll probably win a Slam, but only if the other 3 are below par or injured.

    No doubt Murray is the better player but Henman reached SIX!!! gram slam semis.

    Henman reached the semi of the French and US opens in 2004.

    I would also add Del Potro, he has been unlucky with injuries but if he stays fit he will be right up there with Nadal and Federer, I think he can be better than Djokovic and is certainly better than Murray.
