“For me, he was part of this Big Four era,” Wawrinka told Express Sport about Murray.
“From 18 years old until 30 he was always fighting with the Big Three, he was always there.
“Let’s put it that way, he won ‘only’ three because all the other [players] were taking but he was always in the final, he was always winning a lot.
For me, his career is nothing compared to mine. He’s way ahead, he won many more titles, things than me, and his level was close to the Big Three for 10 years.”

Pretty wild that they both have the same number of slams. Humble of Wawrinka, but he's absolutely spot on, Murray was on another level for much longer than Stan the Man.
