What about Monfils and Mardy Fish Very Happy

They haven't beaten Djokovic yet.

Dissapointed Ferrero hasn't beaten Murray. That would have been a great find, I may say.

Yup, and Wawrinka haven't beaten Nadal yet in 8 attempts

Hewitt is another one to have not completed the top 4, is yet to beat Murray and they have played only once so far, may be he gets chance against Murray in clay. thumbsup

by Chydremion Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:29 pm

I was thinking about Kolhschreiber after today but he hasn't beaten Federer. But maybe we can add him after this tournament.

by invisiblecoolers Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:29 pm

Richard Gasquet is another one so close in the list but no wins against Nadal in 10 attempts.

by barrystar Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:30 pm

Blake?

by Josiah Maiestas Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:31 pm

Didnt Gonzalez beat all 4? Recently retired...

by Chydremion Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:32 pm

How could I forget the great Fernando Gonzalez!

We have 9 names so far.

by Chydremion Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:33 pm

Blake another player who hasn't beaten Djokovic.

by Chydremion Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:34 pm

I think Ljubicic has beaten all four but I need to check.

EDIT: confirmation, Ljubicic has beaten all four.

We have 10 names as the OP asked!

Tsonga
Nalbandian
Davydenko
Soderling
Berdych
Del Potro
Simon
Roddick
Gonzalez
Ljubicic

Ljubicic

Two slams between them, and less TMS than any one of Fed/Djoko/Nadal. That tells you something about their dominance during the careers of those 10.

by invisiblecoolers Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:44 pm

Gonzalez is the one I just found it, but you got it before me, well done Chrydre thumbsup

, if Blake is right you win the quiz.

To be honest I found Gonzalez myself, but Josiah Messiaha got it a few seconds before me, so that counts as his I guess. I only found Roddick and Ljubicic exclusively, the first seven names were by Josiah Messiaha too (see first post).

by invisiblecoolers Fri Jun 15, 2012 5:53 pm

JM got most right, its just that he didn't complete the list, so yes he is the winner to have found most right , well done JM thumbsup

Yes Barry the top 3 dominance is huge and Murray is not actually far behind, and we actually find it difficult to put a list of 10 players to have beaten them any time during their career speaks volume of their consistency.

Exactly, why does it matter if youve beaten someone without multiple slams, nevermind none?

LLeyton Hewitt? He's beaten Federer, Nadal, Djokovic but not Andy Murray

by **laverfan** Sat Jun 23, 2012 5:33 pm

Have to look for earlier in careers for these players..

Like Squillari, Arnold Kerr, Mantilla, Corretja, Costa, Gaudio, Coria, Muller...

by invisiblecoolers Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:44 pm

Good find CAS, but thats been discussed already Crying or Very sad

Poor LF squeezing her head so badly so lemme give a clue, its a veteran and 31 year old and still playing.

by User 774433 Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:48 pm

Well LS has already suggested Ferrer earlier chin

by **laverfan** Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:49 pm

Safin has beaten Federer, Djokovic, Murray but not Nadal.

Gulbis has beaten Federer and Djokovic, but neither Nadal nor Murray.

Corretja has beaten Nadal and Federer, but neither Djokovic nor Murray.

Moya has beaten Nadal and Djokovic, but neither Murray nor Federer.

Not beaten Murray means, they have not met yet, and probably will never meet. Likes of Kafelnikov or Jiri Novak come to mind.

PS: Did not see the 31 yo, still playing comment. Doh

Back to the drawing board.

by LuvSports! Sat Jun 23, 2012 6:54 pm

ferrer is 30 and deffo hasnt beaten feds.

really cant think of one who has done all 3 who is 31. lemme tinkkk hmmm
nope not a clue

by **laverfan** Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:03 pm

Perhaps a doubles player like Mirnyi or Nestor.

by CAS Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:04 pm

Jurgen Melzer? He has beaten the top 3 but never Andy Murray, lost all 5 matches

by **laverfan** Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:08 pm

Is it Malisse? He plays DC for BEL and should have played an early Djokovic?

PS: I forgot about the Chennai Nadal beating. Doh

. Malisse it seems to be. Will check if iC confirms.

by CAS Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:13 pm

Malisse is a great shout, I assume Melzer has already been discussed?

I quote myself.

Answer is Ferrero obviously. 31 years old.

http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=M680&oId=MC10

Malisse, it is. Sorry

Well done LF, yup its Malisse Hug

, one of my favourite vetran left still, he narrowly missed a win against Murray this Queen's when Murray was playing shiit tennis, otherwise he would have belong to perfect 4 club.

Congrats and Thx to all those who took part in it, expect more quiz times after the Wimbledon. Hope you guys enjoyed it thumbsup
