Murray v Djokovic
Murray versus Djokovic is my least favourite match-up. If they both play well, they are likely to have some mind-numbingly long rallies. Both have amazing court-shrinking footwork and neither one cannot put the ball where the other won’t get it. So it all comes down to tolerance, shot tolerance, mental tolerance…sheer tolerance all round. The decision making of both players could be the deciding factor...when to pressurise...when to pull the trigger in those long rallies. I think the faster court suits Andy’s wide serve and this could be worth a fair few points here and there. He also has a better sliced backhand than Djokovic which I hope he will put to good use here and there too.
There has been much talk over here about Amelie Mauresmo and Andy’s decision to appoint her as his coach. I know no more than any of you about what goes on in the inner sanctum of Murray’s coaching team. But I do know she got his off-season training spot on. If Klacr is right in his assessment of the value of off-season training, then it could prove pivotal were Murray to win on Sunday.
