Murray Vs Djokovic

[Neddy]

Not sure if people don't credit Murray for being a great player, as he is. He is by far the best British player in the modern era. It's just that he had the misfortune to peak at the same time as arguably 2, and potentially 3 including Djokovic, of the all time greats have peaked. And at their level a lot of it is in the mind.

It's a British trait to talk down our sports stars even if the are genuinely world class. And Murray is.

Skill wise and physically he is every bit as good as Djokovic. The reason Novak currently has 6 slams to Murrays one is mental. Andy used to get very upset when it didn't go his way and it lost him matches he could have won.

But now..... Novak is the one who rattled and Andy looks cool as a cucumber. Lendl has done an awesome job with him.

Not a good weekend for English sport... Those from over the bridge [and their cohort] won the day yesterday ... Now it looks like the fella from north of the border is gonna win at tennis :thup:...

Good results for 'The Brits' but not necessarily for the English ....

C'mon Murray .....be the first Scottish player to win in shorts.

I'm prepared to eat a whole lot of humble pie here, but I'm calling this one for Djokovic. I think Murray has gone...

20 minutes ago Djokovic had gone.

Momentum ebbs and flows. It would have to stay with Novak for the best part of 2 hours for him to turn this around. And that very rarely happens.....

EDIT....And there you go

Fickle people.

Not by me but you are absolutely right. Tons of posters on here were adamant he'd never win a major.
