First of all, he is not stretching his wrist. Second of all, I didn't say anything about him stretching his wrist. Thirdly and most importantly, I was neither thinking about nor alluding to his wrists when I made that comment. I was alluding to his left palm. I was alluding the fact that he can get so close to the ground that he can put his palm flat on the ground. I don't know how you got "stretching his wrists" from that.

Why do people do this sh*t? If you don't understand what a person is getting at, ASK! Don't extrapolate your own nonsense and run with it.

The way you lumped his hand in with his ankles in the context of a conversation about how grotesquely he can stretch his ankles implied that you thought something about his hand was grotesquely stretched.

Sorry for runing your day

I'm surprised to see Murray is leading the poll, as far as I'm concerned it's Djokovic. Never been a fan of the Murray forehand, looks kind of weird. Novak gets bonus points for developing a decent net game in the last few years which is something Murray doesn't have.

LOOOOOOOOLLLL!!!! :D :D :D

Okay, I'll try to answer this 'caught between Skylla and Charibdis'-question as seriously as possible: I prefer Murray's game whenever he doesn't resort to being a sulky, passive pusher.
As that doesn't seem to happen all too often, I guess the answer should be Djok.

I hope noone minds if I abstain from voting, though. :cool:

Murray has the better net game than Djokovic though, he just uses it less as he's more defensively minded.

Easily Murray. He has better hands, a better forehand (very graceful and relaxed). Excellent backhand. More beautiful.

This is like asking car enthusiasts to compare the beauty of a Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord.

Stroke-wise, it's a tie for first place in the World's Ugliest Dog Contest. Comes down to movement. As some others have said, Murray looks like a hobbled wreck (who, despite his geriatric condition, is incredibly fast). Novak moves with far more grace, hence he wins.

Man ! What have you done !
One shall at least cover the truth with nice words !
Can't you be nicer just for the sake of these below-10 spoilt miserable kids who claim to be Jokovoch's fans and have 29 accounts each on this forum !
 
In broad terms, Noel's game is more fluid, but Murray relies far more on variety which is interesting to me.

Pretty much a toss-up. Both can be appealing, and both can be tedious, like when playing each other..

Ultimately I prefer Murray
Yes, this. I prefer his variety and at Wimbledon can really pay off against anyone.
