Is this guy the biggest 'nearly man' in sports? I mean, someone who's good but just not quite good enough
>>
I think he's done bloody well for someone with autism

he gets repetedly cucked by the big masterrace serbian dick
>>
I mean, no. 2 in the world isn't that bad
>>
I think he's done bloody well for someone with scottishism

He is a bit weird isn't he. Bit of a mum's boy really. Doesn't have balls. That's why he always chokes against Djokovic

>t. andy roddick

He's won more than one major and also an Olympic gold, so I wouldn't say he was a nearly man. In another era he may have won more majors but he's done well.
>>
The jimmy white of tennis

Although he does have the olympic gold medal which means something I guess
>>
You're comparing him to all time greats like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic, he beat Djoko just wo weeks ago.
>>
If he was in Federers era (without Fed obv) he'd have like 8 majors and be known as one of the GOATs
>>
He's a great player, fucking amazing.

It's a shame he's in the same generation as Federer Nadal and Djokovich, but even so he's had a great career full of achievements.

Honestly these four players have absolutely fucking dominated the male tennis scene for such a long time I'm amazed there have even been winners apart from them in grand slams over the years.

He's not a nearly man, he's definitely part of that elite group.

>Olympic Gold
>Has won majors
>nearly man

Nah man. THIS is a nearly man.

Yes and I should know because my country leads the world in "nearly"

Still hurts

It doesn't mean much. It's pretty fucking meaningless compared to the Grand Slams.

Come on Tim
>>
>>68198579
he is good enough, he is just not GOAT material

as the other anon said, he is very unlucky to be playing in the same era as 3 GOAT contenders
>>
>>68198579
>know what i mean arry
>>
>>68198579
He's done really well for himself actually. Especially in the context of being a British sportsman in the most competitive era of the sport he participates in. Two majors and an Olympic gold is great.

>>68199347
go away Tim

Joop Zoetemelk came second 6 (six) times in the Tour de France.

For someone who had to hide from a mass murderer under a desk at the age of 8 he's doing quite well.

Maybe cowering in fear and expecting your own demise is why he barely wins against Nole.

This shit sticks.

He was the ultimate overachiever. Talent wise he shouldn't have got near the semis of a major, he just had dat heart.
