I've seen some extreme opinions about Djokovic's success on grass in recent years. I'm not fan of either but Djokovic is tremendously underappreciated on grass in my view. Below are representative opinions about Djokovic's grass success especially compared to Murray.
Is this true Novak has more grass achievements as he's just physically and mentally stronger? No credits to his excellent shot making skills which gives high reward on grass? I know he's not top mover on grass but movement is only aspect of game which gives success on grass? since Novak has more complete and versatile game than Murray and his lack of excellent movement on grass couldn't stop him winning Wimbledon twice beating two Tier 1 greats in final. If movement is that important factor Murray would be ruling Wimbledon like Federer did.
Will Djokovic ever get enough credits for achievements on grass? or will he get plain criticised for poor movement and always called physical beast despite of having high quality shot making skills and versatility comparable to Federer?
It's plain frustrating how he often gets underappreciated and hated as lucky physical beast but he's proving all them wrong.
Very contentious point. I am not typically in agreement with Mainad, but you won't find many that think of Djokovic as a grass court player. Murray, on the other hand, has managed to put together impressive winning streaks on the surface. For me, Djokovic's movement on grass is a liability. If anything, Djokovic was very fortunate to avoid Roger in 2011. He was also involved in real wars to claim his 2014 title. In no sense does he exude the sense of competence that Murray does when on grass. Djokovic wins because he is a warrior not because he is a good grass court player. Murray, on the other hand, wins because he has the finesse and the experience.
Djokovic has more grass achievement then Murray not because his game is more suited to grass but because he is mentally the stronger player.
