@JSM44677 It's Obiwan, not Ben. Get it right. And he didn't say that about Djokovic. He said it on Anakin Skywalker who turned into Darth Vader. DUH!!
I also agree, this is the best one so far. Djokovic was extremely animated after the game, mostly from frustration. He did a wonderful job of recovering, but there was a few very intense moments and he was OH SO HAPPY IT WAS OVER, and on to #37 next. He had a great 2011. Hope he leave it there and 2012 just play freely, and not pressure himself with a so called streak. Kick the heck out of the media and enjoy your tennis. Good Luck from Beverly Hills
hm... im quite surprised that andy actually did better against novak on clay then nadal did, anyways i hope murray can finally win a slam, AO 2012 is his best bet. He has made 2 AO finals in a row lets hope its 3rd time lucky.
and these 2 are the best of friends of court,amazing djokovic,if he doesnt get double figures of slams he would of under acheieved.murray can take alot of positives from the match,not even nadal could do that to djokovic,the match was over 3 1/4 hrs and nadal still didnt beat him and murray came closer than anyone(fed rg was the 3rd best of the season,this was 4th,behind fed and nole us open and the 1st rafa and nble in new york)
this match was on murray worst surface by far,if he could do that to a peak djokovic in the 3rd best year ever(imo),the possiblities are endless,he needs to hook it up for a slam,if he wins(IF) i think he could win many more,needs a forehand and more reliable 1st serve
@adrenilenepotato how can murray be shit on clay, if he´s made the semis in rome.. there are south american and spanish clay court specialists out there, who haven´t made a semi in a masters tournament..murray just need´s more experience on clay, to keep getting better. murray trained in spain, for quite a few years, so, he´s no stranger to clay.
i don't know if i prefer these sorts of highlights. you see the important points more than you see the best ones, and also you'll see some points with a lot of emotion but you can't see the context behind them...
Beautiful quality, both the match and the video. I can't for Murray to start believing in himself more, so we get more of these matches. Nole was amazing this year, but it was mostly because of believing he could wing against Roger and Rafa and everyone else. Murray did beat Djokovic at Cinci this year, when Rafa never managed to beat Djokovic on any surface.
@davenw6 really..? novak this year has only lost 1 match this year [to federer]. that means murray has lost every match he and novak have played in 2011 - plus novak won wimbledon, you should know that since you wrote your comment one week ago. plus mental toughness is part of a players game, if murray is not as mentally tough as novak then he is not as good as novak, therefore murray is defintely not better than novak.
@davenw6 Yeah- the only thing holding Murray back in the slams is belief- he could have beaten Rafa in any of those semis- Rafa wasn't at his best, and Nole was in his Rafa's head. Murray has the most variety of the top four, and he's the youngest and tallest and as physical imposing and fast as Nadal and Djokovic. He just need to mentally get it together- he should take inspiration from Djokovic's turn around.
@benegeseritwhore Djokovic is younger than Murray but only by days. Yes Murray has more variety but isnt great in any one thing. He's good in everything but not great in one thing.
Top 4 :
Best Serve: Federer Djokovic Murray Nadal
Best Returner: Djokovic Nadal Murray Federer
Best Defense Nadal Djokovic Murray Federer
Best at the net: Federer Nadal Djokovic Murray
Best Backhand: Djokovic Murray Nadal Federer
Best Forehand: Federer Nadal Djokovic..... and Murray forehand is a joke
I think Murray serves bigger than Djokovic and is better returner than Nadal, and has a better netgame than Djokovic. His back hand his close enough to Djokovic where I don't think it matters either way.
I think his forehand is definitely the weakest, but I've seen him flatten it out and hit big sometimes. More important for him is the mentality. Fed plays better when he's up, Djok and Nadal play better from behind, but Murray seems to look for a reason to get down on himself.
@benegeseritwhore Serving bigger doesnt means better. Federer and djokovic serve better than murray. nadal owns murray backhand but not djokovic. But i will tell you this a prime murray if that even exist will give djokovic problems but HE HAS TO FIX THAT FOREHAND! Bc to me murray is the key to how many grand slams djokovic wins.
@SuperNightmare4 haha if murray is the key to djoko's success i think djoko will get 20 slams... and u do know nadal is practically the same age and has like 6 more slams
@demondayzzz lol thats the point bc when Federer gone who stops Djokovic at the slams? Plus Murray fin to help Djokovic win the Golden Slam next year by becoming number 3 in the world by the end of the year. If so Djokovic will face Murray in all semifinals next year and Nadal against Federer on the other half. So Djokovic will get to every grand slam final next year. Thanks Murray for helping Djokovic if you become number 3 in the world. lol hahah i told you he was the key lol
@SuperNightmare4 that isnt true murray needs to serve and volley more because too often rafa just chops back a slice return from a serve which sets up an easy put away, which gives more confidence and he doesnt need to get into a longer rally
@TennisCoachno1 Yikes... are you really a tennis coach? Because you've done a lot of bad analysis here. First off: Nadal is a great volleyer. Look at matches where Nadal and Djoko play doubles. Opponents always hit to Djoko because they know Nadal is the cleaner volleyer. Serve and volleying doesn't work these days due to spin. Nadal can hit a dipping low backhand return if he wants, but doesn't because nobody S+Vs anymore. Finally, learn grammar please!
@weej267 Yes I am a coach and im sorry if my opinion doesn't match your one that is biased towards rafa. We will have to agree to disagree. With 700singles matches and 150doubles for rafa and novak with 500singles and less than a 100 doubles. Volleying is clearly neither players strong suit but nadal as I mentioned is effective at the drop volleys whereas novak doesn't come to the net much at all but is superior at putting the ball away with authority, not a dinked volley they may retrieve.
@weej267 S and V is an extremely effective way to finish off points quickly and is effective against the likes of rafa and to an extent federer of the top 4. Rafa's return alot of the time lands on the service line, too short, and can be dictated from the off. Otherwise his chip returns can be cut off with a S and V as novak used just once in the match at wimbledon to set up match point. It has decreased as the courts are slower, the rackets are more powerful, apply more spins and trajectory.
@weej267 Have you never heard commentators frequently commenting that federer vs nadal must S+V from time to time and to say it doesn't work these days is ludicrous. When used it can be a very effective way of shortening the points, e.g. murray 2010 Aus QF match. Havent novak and rafa have only played once together in doubles at 2010 toronto masters and lost in the 1st round to raonic and popisil? Novak improved every aspect of his game for '11 (6-0) and again has improved it for '12. Done.
@TennisCoachno1 I agree. Players need to have some S&V up their sleeves. I think there is more of it now than 3 years ago. Look at Mardy Fish who is a solid doubles player and uses this technique on wide sides in his singles. Guys need to apply this now and then to shorten points against Rafa & Novak who will grind them out from the baseline otherwise.
@TennisCoachno1 Wow... Long response... I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here. I still feel that players use too much spin for S+V to be an effective strategy these days. Also, I'm more of a Fed/Murray fan than a Rafa fan, so I wouldn't be biased toward Rafa unless I had a reason. You said that Nadal is "the worst volleyer," and I don't think that's true. Also, these players can do more than just "chip back" serves. But they won't unless a player is S+V-ing.
@weej267 Out of feds, murray, novak and rafa, i believe rafa is the worst at volleying overall. Thanks again for sarcastically saying 'yikes are you really a tennis coach?... You have done bad analysis here'. I've provided facts that back my case whereas you haven't and you accuse me of being wrong! I'm a huge tennis fan. I study the sport extensively, write blogs and articles on this sports among others. I think you are wrong and don't know much about tennis, heres me sinking to your level :(
@TennisCoachno1 Which comment of mine were you replying to? The first one? My last comment I said that we'd have to "agree to disagree" on this. Saying that Nadal "chips" backs returns makes sense, but he only does that because players don't serve and volley. If they did, Nadal would hit back low returns (look at his match against Llodra in 2011). Btw, I'm also a big studier of the sport. But I don't call myself a "coach."
@weej267 so when i was a coaching alot 3-4 years ago it was wrong of me to put the thing that first came to my head after a training session?
When a player is blind sighted or desperately attempting to reach for a ball to get back in play the slice shot is commonly used to allow more time for that player. This is the perfect opportunity for some S and V. Ok fine let us just end at that and agree to disagree but there was no need to belittle and denigrate me like that.
@SuperNightmare4 i would agree with most of them except nadal 2nd returner he is deffo the worst and he is the worst volleyer apart from the short cutting away volley but technically in general play on the volley his grip is so extreme it is very hard for him to adjust so well to volley. Personally i wud stilll have feds backhand over rafa's mainly just for aesthetic reasons but a good list nonetheless.
@davenw6 as if he wasn't mentally tough? He was facing two match points against Roger Federer in the Semis of the USO 2010 and he won... Get your shit straight. He had a bad year last year because Todd Martin fucked up his serve, and he couldn't get a first serve in to save his life... and he was STILL NO. 3... Djokovic = Warrior...
I meant before the 10 USO & the 2 match points. It's obvious for all that was the turning point (along with Davis Cup) These 2 events were at the or towards thew end of the season.
Jesus!
I agree with you also that Todd Martin fucked his serve but he also had to get his head sorted out too.
@davenw6 when your a undergod u are mentaly free u have nothing to lose so u are playing relaxed and your best tennis i gues , but when u have a score to preserve, your hand gets a little stiff :D look at montreal 2007 when Djokovic beats federer he have nothing to lose so he play relaxed :D
To be honest Murray had this match and I saw Novak had given up near the end of the 3rd set, Novak knew he was going to lose, Murray was 2 points from the match, then Murray tightened up and let Novak back into the match.
@Sen1Sky Murray choked as he always does. He simply got scared of the fact that he could end Novak's streak. It's all mental, other than that Murray is great player he does lack a bit of offensive play.
hi, have you ever had some author rights issues in your highlights videos? i have posted a highlights vid on the roland garros semifinal match between Federer & Djokovic and my video is now blocked....
If you go to watch " Wimbledon 2011 Predictions:, you will know Nadal and Djokovic will play in final. If Tsonga change his racquet, he will beat Djokovic win Wimbledon champion 2011. before Tsonga use Nadal's racquet, he should use Wilson racquet.
If Murray change his racquet, he will beat Nadal and Djokovic win Wimbledon champion 2012.
@TheSupertennisking I'm pretty sure Murray's problem is mental, not technical. He is a choker. He obviously could have beaten Nadal if he kept his head in the game at Wimbledon semis. After being up a set, he self-destructed and let Nadal get comfortable.
@RFmeastro Its funny how people think federer will show his the best when he played far less tennis than his opponent who has had 4 wins over Nadal this year in finals. Djokovic had to lose at some point and who better to lose to than Roger Federer himself. Djokovic is by no means invincible and neither is Roger Federer.
he will not win a major because he failed to beat the guy that beat federer 3 consecutive times and nadal 4 consecutive times? because he's the only one that managed to get a chance to serve it out on a guy with 43 consecutive wins now?
that "evidence" supports no such thing
lesser players have been beaten worse and won slams
dont just claim to be any former fan or admirer of anyone for the sake of a pseudo argument
@foul01 "pseudo-argument" in appearance, in order to fit within a small youtube comment. Andy Murray was my favorite player from years 2006 (def. Roddick @ Wimbledon) - 2011. I've watched every one of his big matches. If he can play this well against Djokovic, on clay.. where was this, on Hard court, at the Australian Open this year. If he can beat Federer 6-3, 6-2 last year, where was that in the 2010 Aussie Open? The 2 things both those matches have in common: they are Grand Slam Finals.
grande Djokovic, pensando ai suoi tanti boxe-match contro Nadal si tende a dimenticare che il talento ce l'ha, e tanto... In questa partita ha trovato un Murray solidissimo da fondocampo e più penetrante di lui, e allora vai a palle corte, pallonetti, stop volley e alla fine ha prevalso... Chapeau

Clearly Novaks a better player than Murray right now because of his incredible year.
No one can argue with that.
He might always be better in fact but he is peaking now (& has been on the main tour for longer played more matches etc) and Murray is yet to.
Last year Novak was not very mentally tough was he?
But he got it together and & broke through,
Murray could do it too, as this match suggests.

You have done bad analysis here'. I've provided facts that back my case whereas you haven't and you accuse me of being wrong! I'm a huge tennis fan. I study the sport extensively, write blogs and articles on this sports among others. I think you are wrong and don't know much about tennis, heres me sinking to your level :(

@TennisCoachno1 Which comment of mine were you replying to? The first one? My last comment I said that we'd have to "agree to disagree" on this. Saying that Nadal "chips" backs returns makes sense, but he only does that because players don't serve and volley. If they did, Nadal would hit back low returns (look at his match against Llodra in 2011). Btw, I'm also a big studier of the sport. But I don't call myself a "coach."

@weej267 so when i was a coaching alot 3-4 years ago it was wrong of me to put the thing that first came to my head after a training session?
When a player is blind sighted or desperately attempting to reach for a ball to get back in play the slice shot is commonly used to allow more time for that player. This is the perfect opportunity for some S and V. Ok fine let us just end at that and agree to disagree but there was no need to belittle and denigrate me like that.

@SuperNightmare4 More charismatic/best mentality/best attitude: Nole.
41lucas 4 months ago
@SuperNightmare4 i would agree with most of them except nadal 2nd returner he is deffo the worst and he is the worst volleyer apart from the short cutting away volley but technically in general play on the volley his grip is so extreme it is very hard for him to adjust so well to volley. Personally i wud stilll have feds backhand over rafa's mainly just for aesthetic reasons but a good list nonetheless.

@davenw6 as if he wasn't mentally tough? He was facing two match points against Roger Federer in the Semis of the USO 2010 and he won... Get your shit straight. He had a bad year last year because Todd Martin fucked up his serve, and he couldn't get a first serve in to save his life... and he was STILL NO. 3... Djokovic = Warrior...

@BezCiceNemaPrice
I meant before the 10 USO & the 2 match points. It's obvious for all that was the turning point (along with Davis Cup) These 2 events were at the or towards thew end of the season.
Jesus!
I agree with you also that Todd Martin fucked his serve but he also had to get his head sorted out too.
Now he's clearly the toughest mentally out there.

@davenw6 when your a undergod u are mentaly free u have nothing to lose so u are playing relaxed and your best tennis i gues , but when u have a score to preserve, your hand gets a little stiff :D look at montreal 2007 when Djokovic beats federer he have nothing to lose so he play relaxed :D

Murrays not as good as he use to be
homergrandslama29 7 months ago
To be honest Murray had this match and I saw Novak had given up near the end of the 3rd set, Novak knew he was going to lose, Murray was 2 points from the match, then Murray tightened up and let Novak back into the match.

@Sen1Sky Murray choked as he always does. He simply got scared of the fact that he could end Novak's streak. It's all mental, other than that Murray is great player he does lack a bit of offensive play.

If you go to watch " Wimbledon 2011 Predictions:, you will know Nadal and Djokovic will play in final. If Tsonga change his racquet, he will beat Djokovic win Wimbledon champion 2011. before Tsonga use Nadal's racquet, he should use Wilson racquet.
If Murray change his racquet, he will beat Nadal and Djokovic win Wimbledon champion 2012.

@TheSupertennisking I'm pretty sure Murray's problem is mental, not technical. He is a choker. He obviously could have beaten Nadal if he kept his head in the game at Wimbledon semis. After being up a set, he self-destructed and let Nadal get comfortable.

@RFmeastro Its funny how people think federer will show his the best when he played far less tennis than his opponent who has had 4 wins over Nadal this year in finals. Djokovic had to lose at some point and who better to lose to than Roger Federer himself. Djokovic is by no means invincible and neither is Roger Federer.

Murray will never win a Grand Slam.. evidenced here... this coming from a (former)-Andy Murray fan, and a (current) admirer of his game.
jjezak 9 months ago
@jjezak
he will not win a major because he failed to beat the guy that beat federer 3 consecutive times and nadal 4 consecutive times? because he's the only one that managed to get a chance to serve it out on a guy with 43 consecutive wins now?
that "evidence" supports no such thing
lesser players have been beaten worse and won slams
dont just claim to be any former fan or admirer of anyone for the sake of a pseudo argument
foul01 9 months ago
@foul01 "pseudo-argument" in appearance, in order to fit within a small youtube comment. Andy Murray was my favorite player from years 2006 (def. Roddick @ Wimbledon) - 2011. I've watched every one of his big matches. If he can play this well against Djokovic, on clay.. where was this, on Hard court, at the Australian Open this year. If he can beat Federer 6-3, 6-2 last year, where was that in the 2010 Aussie Open? The 2 things both those matches have in common: they are Grand Slam Finals.

grande Djokovic, pensando ai suoi tanti boxe-match contro Nadal si tende a dimenticare che il talento ce l'ha, e tanto... In questa partita ha trovato un Murray solidissimo da fondocampo e più penetrante di lui, e allora vai a palle corte, pallonetti, stop volley e alla fine ha prevalso... Chapeau
