Yes, but that might very well be, because Djokovic peaks for the second week. Maybe didn't even try so hard vs. Kokki.Tenez wrote:Kokki has won 3 more games than any other player v Djoko so far!

Same problem with Murray. He does not play relax enough.

Yes though I think Kokki's serve had a lot to do with it. But also because Kokki has pretty good powerful ground shots. If he keeps improving he should catch up very quickly.Autumnleaf wrote:Yes, but that might very well be, because Djokovic peaks for the second week.

Kokki did play best against him of all players, better serve and FH then both Nadal and Murray.

Murray is only loose when he is pushing the ball or two sets up against a "nobody".Tenez wrote:I mean not loose enough.Tenez wrote:Same problem with Murray. He does not play relax enough.

Yes, great serve helps for sure. And I certainly hope the youngsters can improve quickly or there is more Djokoray coming.Tenez wrote:Yes though I think Kokki's serve had a lot to do with it.

Nole can hit some really crazy angles with his FH!

If Murray doesn't want to go gently into that dark night, he must strike now. This is the phase in which Djoko's level has dropped a bit.

he is defending too much. Djoko is so quick that there is no point for Murray to be aggressive.

Murray simply applies to little pressure. Even by his standard this is too much wait and see. It's been like that the entire match

They purposely grunt while hitting a shot to trouble the opponent.
Even a slice, the most effortless shot gets a grunting!

I have never seen that....a player to tired to push teh ball over the net. Despite Djoko gasping for air, it's Murray which gets really tired.

Probably went to calm down...same as Murray after the 4th set in that USO final.

Wrong mindset to have. If Nadal took one you would be saying it was.
I asked if that was the case but it sounds like it was extended from most i've seen talk about it.
If it's outside the allotted time then that isn't on imo, regardless of who does it.
