WIMBLEDON, England — Andy Murray has certainly had his major moments, none better than becoming the first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years.
But there is a dark side to his deep runs in the tournaments that matter most. No man in the nearly 50 years of open tennis has played so many Grand Slam singles finals while winning so few. Murray’s 2-8 record is due to the prodigious drive and talent of two men: Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, one of whom has been his opponent in all 10 of his previous major finals.
