Mats Wilander Thinks Andy Murray is not Big 4 Material

Andy Murray is not a Big 4 player, at least thats what tennis legend Mats Wilander thinks. In his own words, ‘There isn’t any Big Four, only Big Three. Murray can’t be compared to the other three players. The Big Four concept was created because Andy was the fourth to be always in the semi-finals, but the other three won. So you cannot put a player who won three Slam titles with who has 12, 15 and 19, The difference is very big, although there is a big gap between Murray and other top-10 players.’

The Swede believes that Roger Federer is the best player in the history of tennis. But if Federer is compared to any future US Open champion, the comparison is almost impossible. According to Wilander, the game evolves very quickly. He also said that while Federer is the best player, the one he admires the most is Nadal. ‘Obviously Roger fights in every match, but he doesn’t show it in the same way. Rafa is 100% involved in every match I have seen him play, you can note his passion for competition and to reach perfection. My ultimate admiration for him is because of the way he stays on court.’
