I agree that he's always lacked the offensive weapons of the big 3 and other legends of the game, but Murray would be in my top returners list all time without a doubt.....His numbers are absolutely insane and rival that of Agassi, Novak and Nadal.
Toss in his relentless work ethic which is maybe only matched by Nadal all time, and those are two pretty important attributes that I would say he is definitely great at.

Another late night on the docket tonight as Shapo vs. Hubi is scheduled to start at 1 am Calgary time Friday morning.
/Felix vs. Frankie Cerundolo is set for 9 pm Calgary time tonight (likely will be pushed back though).

Sinner down 2 sets as he cant handle Fucsovic's power. But he's got the early break in the 3rd.

What the Fucsovics is happening to Marton? Looks like we're going the distance.

Did the PA announcer just say "From France, Felix Auger-Aliassime"?!?

Holy doodle, what a great overhead smash by Felix to get an early break.
Edit: Consolidates with a fine rally punctuated with a beautiful drop shot. Hot start from FAA
Edit 2: Double break for Felix

Two more sets like that would be fine (25 minutes in length)

Cerundolo has raised his level and Felix's level has dropped here in set 2.
