Alright party people, who was the better player, and by how much?
Results:
Murray - 66-11, 6 titles, 0 Majors, 0 Major Finals, 2 Masters
Alcaraz - 63-9, 6 titles, 1 Major, 1 Major Final , 2 Masters
Verdict: Alcaraz decisively
Match Stats:
Murray - 85.3% SGW, 33.3% RGW, 54.5% TPW, 1.29 DR
Alcaraz - 85.6% SGW, 31.9% RGW, 54.1% TPW, 1.28 DR
Verdict: Even, or slight edge Murray with comp factored in (faced more Top 10 players and the Top 10 was better).
Competition Faced:
Murray’s >>>> in Masters, Alcaraz’s > in Majors
Verdict: A push. ‘09 field is stronger
by 10 paces, but Murray didn’t get far enough in the most important events for it to swing the verdict.
Stroke-By-Stroke/Attribute4Attribute Breakdown:
1st serve - Murray >>>
2nd serve - Alcaraz >>>>
FH - Alcaraz >>>
Drive BH - Murray >>>
Slice - Murray >
Return - Murray >
Passing Shots - Even (Murray’s passes sort of regressed in his mid-20’s, weirdly)
Net Game - Even
Movement - Alcaraz > (closest one where I gave an adv to one player)
Stamina - Even
Lobs - Murray
Drop Shots - Alcaraz >>>>
Verdict: Slight edge Murray
Overall: inconclusive. Murray might’ve had the better game but his floor was a bit lower in slams, which he pays for here. ‘12-‘13 as well as ‘16 Murray vs. ‘23 Alcaraz are cleanly in the Scot’s favour in my not-so-humble opinion, but what about these two years?
