Very interesting article:

Could Murray-Roddick potentially be the next great rivalry in men's tennis?

BTW, make sure you take a look at the video with Murray's strokes. It's scary how hard and accurate he hits it, considering how much effort he is putting into hitting the shots.

I would say no. Neither one of them are GREAT players (as of yet at least). I consider a great rivalry to be one where they meet in big finals. I don't they these two will ever do that. I don't think we will ever have a Murray-Roddick Slam final, or something of that nature. They might have a interesting relationship through the years, but I seriously doubt we will look back on this after they retire and compare it to Mcenroe-Borg, Evert-Martina, Seles-Graf, ect., ect.

I personally don't think Roddick will be a name associated with Agassi, Sampras, McEnroe, Borg, etc., but I think Andy Murray has some serious potential. Perhaps he won't be as great as some of the players mentioned above, but I would be surprised if he doesn't have at least four Grand Slam titles by the time he retires....
