You got it in one! His era coincided with the high times of top class performers like Djokovic and Federer and you could throw Nadal into the mix as well but he's still one of the great British players of all time and he does indeed have a terrific tenacity that is required to compete against the great players of tennis - he's certainly done that and he's won two majors, an Olympic gold medal (beat Federer at Wimbledon in that epic final), carried the GB Davis Cup team to a historic victory in Belgium + he has won other ATP circuit tourneys as well against top tennis opponents incl Federer and Djokovic! He has not been a runner up all the time and that's the main point!! Look back at the performances of male British tennis players in the past 80 years and you'll discover Murray stands 'head and shoulders' in the British tennis hall of fame - IMO a true legend that hopefully some budding younger British tennis players may try to emulate some day.
