Equals Murray (britains greatest sportsman according to some) with three slams.
Three finals three wins - Stan has got to feel unlucky that he plays in the sports greatest era. Imagine how many slams Stan could have won if not for Roger Novak and Rafa....
Murray = 3 Grand Slams / 1 Davis Cup / 2 Olympic Gold Medals / 1 Olympic Doubles Silver Medal Wawrinka = 3 Grand Slams / 1 Davis Cup / 1 Olympic Doubles Gold Medal
Both have extremely similar records and believe the gap is closer between Murray / Wawrinka than Djokovic / Murray... At the same time Andy isnt our Greatest EVER Sportsman but he is our Greatest in the last couple of decades.
To get a fuller picture you should have added ATP 1000 tournaments. Andy has won 10, Stan 1.

The media dont help though do they... I'm sure I read somewhere that Tennis players treat the Masters as the top / then come the Grand Slams / then comes the Olympics... Its only the media that put the emphasis on the Slams?
Stan the Man lived in Roger Federer's shadow for so long. the difference was when he got to his late 20's he suddenly became a much better player in the slams. A lot of this was down to Magnus Norman, his coach. The Wawrinka single handed backhand is a shot of aesthetic delight; from a man who is strong as a Ox. How we will miss Roger,Andy, Novak, Rafa and Stan when they retire in a few years time. What a vacuum they will leave, and yet, what an opportunity for the next generation of Tennis Athletes.
