I agree with Alistair
The way SPOTY works is a joke - the public vote means it's one big personality contest which puts some contenders at an instant disadvantage. I don't mean to detract from Murray's achievements but there should be a difference between being the best at your sport in a given year and attaining a level of domination that hasn't been seen before.
