Match Point: Chapter 646 Continuous upgrade
A giant, always a giant.
Maybe, Murray is behind the record against the other Big Three, but for other players on the tour, Murray is still a giant.
In January of this year, after returning from injury, Murray's performance has been struggling and did not meet expectations, but at the end of the game, Murray started the scoring mode again, and performed very well in the Asian season and the European indoor season, and made great progress all the way Heading towards the year-end finals.
After reaching the top in Vienna last week, they reached the final in Valencia this week.
Murray, what style is it?
From a professional point of view, Murray and Djokovic are almost each other's templates, and their playing styles are almost exactly the same.
Of course, if we cut into the details and further analyze the technical links, the two players are still somewhat different:
Djokovic's backhand is better, Murray's forehand; Djokovic's forehand is more aggressive but less stable, Murray's forehand is more stable but less aggressive.
and so on and so forth.
But on the whole, Djokovic and Murray's game style, game method, and scoring method are consistent.
More than one professional commentator said that watching the "Djokovic vs. Murray" game is like a mirror image. Both players are fighting against themselves.
Moreover, the two players have trained together since they were young, and they know each other's hitting methods and return routines very well, making it even more difficult to break the opponent's predictions.
Because of this, the matches between Djokovic and Murray are often very tangled and anxious—
From a certain point of view, it is a little bit similar to Simon, because the bottom line may be even more difficult; at the same time, the defensive counterattack capabilities of the two giants are also better, which is equivalent to two more comprehensive upgraded versions of Simon. , two "Simon" duel.
As of 2013, Murray's record against Djokovic is 8 wins and 11 losses. Every match between the two players is not easy.
It's a pity that Murray's state has not escaped the slump of returning from injury this season. He suffered a three-game losing streak against Djokovic.
Then, someone must have a question:
Why is Murray so much behind Djokovic in the number of Grand Slam and Masters titles?
The answer is as simple as it is simple, and as complicated as it is—
psychology.
This should be viewed in two parts.
One is the decisiveness and firmness of the key points.
Djokovic is also a big heart, especially after experiencing the baptism of war as a child, his mentality is more tenacious, and he dares to take risks in terms of key scores.
Murray is not, the more crucial points, the more hesitant he is—
Layout, Murray is a player who believes in his own wisdom. He firmly believes that he can reverse any situation. As long as he is given enough time to maneuver and layout, it is equivalent to "give me a lever long enough to The mentality of "moving the earth", so the more critical the moment, the more time and space he needs to arrange.
Facing ordinary players, Murray can indeed do it and complete the layout according to his own ideas; but facing the other Big Three, "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", they often don't give Murray more time for "thinking and layout", so This little hesitation and hesitation may become a turning point in the game.
The second is firm willpower.
Watching the game between Djokovic and Murray, it can be found that both of them have "irritated" tempers. They often need to vent their emotions on the court; The way they play is part of their game.
But if you look closely, you can notice the difference.
When the game enters the real bayonet, Djokovic is often able to turn this irritability and anger into motivation, bite the game tightly, entangle the game, exert his "wrapping skills" to the extreme, and then wait , Waiting for the opponent to make a mistake or the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
However, Murray tends to be soft-handed. The more he hits, the less he dares to attack, especially the forehand. Slide into the dark.
However, Murray lacks a little bit of luck. Every time the grand slam is in good shape, he will inevitably meet another giant who is also in good shape—
Since entering the Grand Slam final for the first time at the US Open in 2008, Murray has entered the Grand Slam final stage seven times so far, but the number of wins and losses is two wins and five losses.
Among them, they lost to Federer three times and Djokovic twice; of course, they also defeated Djokovic twice.
So, does this mean that Murray is "psychologically fragile"?
of course not.
The so-called psychological factor is only relatively speaking. Compared with the other Big Three, Murray lacks a little bit, and in the duel of top masters, this slight gap may create unimaginable results. the difference-
A slight difference is a thousand miles away.
Murray's ability to rank among the Big Four is already an existence that countless players need to look up to. Even if his status in the eyes of fans is not so high, it does not affect Murray's becoming the most shining part of professional tennis in the past ten years. One is not only able to witness history, but also a part of history.
As far as Murray himself is concerned, he is a very typical baseline player and is good at playing with his head.
First, Murray's prediction is particularly good, and he is at the top level in terms of receiving, defending, and covering the net.
Secondly, Murray's shots are very purposeful. Even the transition shots are often intentional, that is to say, the layout is like playing chess, and the final goal is achieved through the layout. Dahl often hits some incredible magic **** with a flash of inspiration, and Murray's game is always more solid and more simple.
Starting from New York, he played against Djokovic in August, Nadal in September, and Murray in October. It has only been a few months since Gao Wen entered the professional arena, and he has already rocketed in front of the top giants. The dreams when I started participating in the Challenger League came true one after another~www.mtlnovel.com~ So, the next one is...Federer?
However, Federer still needs to wait, the current opponent should be Murray—
Gao Wen knew that Murray was not in the best condition, but the problem was that he was not in the best condition either, and the strength of the giant players was unquestionable.
Facing Murray, there will definitely be no less rounds of tug-of-war. His ability to save the ball on both ends of the offense and defense is still higher than that of Simon. This also means that the game will be another severe test. After three consecutive rounds of fierce battles, the test With continuous upgrades, the results of the short-term training in Paris are about to face further review—
However, this is the greatest charm of competitive sports. Challenges, one after another, bravely climb the peak and break through the self. Every fight makes people excited.
isn't it?
Facts also proved this point, the first point of the game, Gao Wen and Murray were already caught in the entanglement of multi-shot tug-of-war.
