[Fiji]

Andy Murray.

If Murray stays mentally strong he will win because he is the superior player.

Murray in 4 or 5. Stan showed major weakness in Djokovic' game.

When pressured Djokovic doesn't go for his shots he plays to keep the ball in play. He won that match with defense and stamina only ,the main problem he will have against Murray is that he can match him stroke for stroke and endurance.

Djocovic is the ultimate marathon man, probably only guy that can last 5 hours with Murray or Nadal

[BeHappy]

I won't be watching the first 4 hours personally. I really hate this match up.

[Warmaster]

Murray is the more complete player in my opinion. Better slice, better volleys, more variety and a better first serve.

The second serve is still a weakness though, he'll need to defend it well.

Djokovic still has a slight edge with the ROS and with the FH.

His biggest weapon is still his mental strength, he can get outplayed and still win. You're never done with Novak Djokovic!

[TennisFan3]

key factor: Murray's recovery.

There are few players, who have won consecutive 5 setters in SF and F. Djoko is a physical beast, but IMO Murray is a better player in their matchup (not overall). So if Murray is physically ok, he will win. But there is a chance Murray gets fatigued. It's a very grueling matchup.

To be honest I always though of djocovic as the most complete player in the world.

[Peters]

This is 50/50 in my opinion. Both have various strengths and weaknesses.

On balance, even as a Murray fan, I would accept Novak is the slightly more complete player overall. Especially when including mental strength and consistency.

But right here and now, I have a sneaky feeling Andy could take this. Andy in 4.

How do you rate their shots then?
