They both lost though.
Henman, to his credit, did win some lesser tournaments as Murray has. Until Murray wins a grand slam I would rate him similar to Henman. Murray only really made this semi-final because Nadal was injured, and IMO it was one of the weakest line-ups for years. Federer is simply a class apart.Comment

Roddick reached the semi-final because Nadal was injured, and if Nadal had been fit Roddick might beaten him anyway on his current form.

Originally posted by stackpole View PostThat is incorrect. Because of seeding, Murray wouldn't have met Nadal until the semi-final.

Rubbish. Apart from Nadal, everyone was there, and Roddick and Hewitt were playing their best tennis for five years, and Murray his best Wimbledon performance ever.
As I said, this is my opinion after watching tennis for over 40 years. The standard has definitely fallen, but Federer is a class apart and should walk the final.Comment

What do you mean by "the standard"? How are you measuring it?
We always have the top few players, then the ones below that, etc.Comment

Next year murray should have federer and murray to contend with, so hopefully it will be tougher.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun.
