Murray fans: I've previously put lots of hate towards the Scot. But this last week has proved to me what he really is capable of. This has been about the first time EVER that I've enjoyed somewhat watching Andy! He is on a roll now, and IMO he has changed his gameplan quite a bit. He has not just played his typical defense this week. Now he has a clear attacking game plan:
1) Return the serves as early off the bounce as possible, and aggressively flatten out them to get the time away from the server! I enjoy this more aggressive returning of him a lot, like I did enjoy watching Agassi return the serves back in the day.
2) He clearly has a plan within each rally to try to seek a perfect time to flatten out an attacking ground stroke early within a rally. This flatter hitting aggressive play works great for him, as he has never really been a huge topspin monster. He also no longer goes for that endless defensive CC rally mode to wait for an error from the opponent. Rather he tries to seek AN ATTACK as early as possible! When Murray really unleashes his flat hard pace, it really troubles the opponents! This more aggressive Murray is like the polar opposite of the boring "put the ball back in play" Pushray I've previously seen.
Also, he is going for that BH DTL more often now! He is not just hitting safe CC balls back. This is like a final hit on the nail: Murray is going for it, he attacks the ball a lot and wants to WIN instead of just fear of losing!
If he can keep up this aggressive mindset, he could very well win Wimby/USO combo this year! That'd be awesome for him, and his fans! Where did all this change come from?
