No, terrific physical conditions is merely one of the reasons for Novak's success.

Terrific ballstriking, one of the best ROS on tour (some would say ever), great at changing the direction of the ball, transition from defense to offense, fearless mentality on big points etc.

Aside from overhead, volleys and slice Novak's game is incredibly technically sound, it is amazingly hard to break him down or pin him down to one wing to open up the court.

Could not agree more. However, regarding return of service, Murray currently have an edge over Novak, IMO. Andy's service returns are brutal.

I think Murray might be better in getting more big serves into play (peak Fed was also amazing in that regard) but as far as aggressive returning of serve goes Novak is still the man IMO, the best I've seen in that regard since Agassi.
