EZ question. Who will record the best result at a single slam in 2018: the Haggis King or the Mighty Peace & Love Advocate?
In Novak's favor: He looks like he'll get three more shots this year versus two for Murray, and he already has a 4th round in the bag. Higher potential level too, though that seems far off at the present moment.
Against Novak: His troubles seem more complicated and inexplicable: a big soup of motivation, reduced training, injuries, fitness, and personal life. Has become too much like Deepak Chopra and would seemingly be equally content with sucking the juice out of a raisin for two hours as winning a slam.
In Murray's favor: Seems more hungry and motivated and not gone off to La-La-Land like his peer. Claims to have been somewhat pained by his hip even during his amazing 2016 run, and made semis and quarters at his last two slams even while he was walking like a centenarian. And rehab has reportedly gone as hoped for, so who knows what he can do against the current field if he gets back to ~95% health?
Against Murray: Will not have played a pro tour match in about a year's time when he returns. Lack of seeding. Is Andy Murray.
