He's 21 FFS... Anyone will tell you that currently Federer, Nadal and Djokovic lead the way in men's tennis, and Murray is in a select group that are right behind them. Hell, Nadal and Djokovic are so good at the moment that even Federer is seriously struggling against them.
Try taking your own advice...

Not one argument in there worth responding to, but I might as well try anyway. I can't imagine why my post has riled you so much, since this is a discussion board. I re-read it, and I cannot see one sentence that was patronising, much less intended to be that way. If you believe I genuinely know so little, have a read of what the tennis analysts are saying about Murray. They are far more qualified to deal with the topic, and almost to a man, they are saying much of what I've said.
I'm not sure what "who do you think you are", has to do with anything. I responded to your post fairly, even though I don't necessarily agree with it. I'm giving my opinions, as we are all entitled to do on here. If you honestly feel the best way to do that is by being abusive and rude, then of course that is your choice.
I agree that Murray is a good player, but he is far from a great one, and no amount of talking will change that. I would like to see him develop into a top class player, but his career progression so far suggests that won't happen. Again, I agree those three you mentioned are out there on their own, and are special players, but Murray has been very vocal in saying he believes he has the talent to beat them. If that is the case, why isn't he? In fact, right now he isn't even matching that group you mentioned which is following the big three.
You talk about him being 21, but he is less than a year younger than Nadal (28 Career titles), and a week older than Djokovic(10 career titles). Of course everyone develops at different ages, but he is no longer just a young lad with potential, it is about time he delivered on that potential.
