I don't really see how defending and moonballing until the opponent errs is confused for "point construction" by some people.

He'd be known as a clay court specialist in an era in which court speeds hadn't all been slowed down (even more so than he already is).

There did seem to be something legitimately wrong with Djokovic in set 3...he pretty much tanked it.

But I agree, the possum act is very annoying and Murray does the exact same thing a lot of the...

Give him credit for calling Nadal for time violations (granted one was a 40-0 point). However, it didn't exactly stop him as he just kept taking as long as he wanted, almost daring the guy to call...

Djokovic was the one taking all the risks, so of course his numbers aren't clean. It's very difficult to play consistently aggressive on clay. On the other hand, all Nadal does is moonball and...

For one, you don't even have to hit the ball cleanly if you go for the moonball return, and there is almost no risk involved. More importantly it means the server has almost no way of going for an...

Currently Nadovic is miles ahead. But years ago when Federer wasn't so far from his prime Fedal was at least equal if not better.

I'd personally say better because the contrast of style that...

It's because he hits the ball so high. It's not easy to dropshot off of those moonballs.

At 3-1 second set (if I remember correctly) there were two consecutive points where Hawkeye and the chair umpire disagreed, both times in favor of Djokovic.

Perhaps we are lucky he couldn't get a break there in the third. Watching him try to serve a set out against Djokovic/Murray was so painful and I'm afraid it might have been a similar story.
