When analyzing Andy Murray's tennis abilities and style, it's blatantly obvious and clear to see how some of his strengths and the things he's good at / does well are what both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic generally specialize in.
Some the things which are strikingly similar between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are:
1) Both have tremendous return of serves (ATG's in this department) and they have a similar style when returning.
2) Both have equally (or close to) good backhands which are one of their main strengths. Again, both have a similar technique with their backhand as well.
3) Both are tremendous defensive players and counter punchers. Using a combination of agility, flexibility and quick acceleration, both are able to return balls back in play that no one else in the world could (Andy Murray might be slightly better in this department).
4) Both are excellent baseliners with the ability to grind out wins and outplay nearly any opponent from the baseline through point constructions
Some of the things which are strikingly similar between Andy Murray and Roger Federer are:
1) Both have tremendous slices, especially with the back hand.
2) Both have two of the best drop shots in tennis today and for the last few years.
3) For both, grass court happens to be their favorite surface where they play their best tennis.
4) Both are generally much better on faster surfaces than on slower surfaces as both are better at using the pace of the ball to return during ground strokes and opponent's serves than generating their own pace. This requires excellent hand eye coordination, reflexes and timing for both.
5) Both are two of the most versatile players that possess multiple plans throughout their matches. This makes them both two of the best tacticians in tennis and subsequently gives them the ability to adjust / adapt to different opponents. Both can play with finesse, soft touches, hard shots, volleys, from the baseline, with different amount of spins / power and etc.
