Djokovic, the cup is full – Liberation

And in the end, it’s (still) Djokovic wins. In the final of the Australian Open on Sunday Andy Murray failed to give the lie to the proverb that makes figure of law for a year and a half on the circuit. For its fourth final against Serbia in Melbourne, the Scot has experienced the same punishment as the previous times: a defeat, despite fine efforts and a lot of heart (a second set of one hour and twenty minutes!), Inflicted by “Nole” (6-1, 7-5, 7-6) who himself has won his sixth title in Australia. And, in passing, his eleventh Grand Slam title, the same number as Björn Borg. The 2016 season has started on the same basis as the previous one, where the world’s No. 1 had lost only one game that matters facing Stan Wawrinka in French Open final.

From Suddenly, at Melbourne Park as elsewhere, the question is: who but to finally succeed to burst a tire Novak Djokovic? “A guy like that, he’s too strong today, recognizes the former French number one and friend of Roger Federer, Arnaud Boetsch. It moves so well, he is so focused on this goal not to make a mistake, to return the ball once more, to play very long. “ His ex -coéquipier Davis Cup Guy Forget, who commented the Australian final to television, added: “This is the best athlete in the world today. In terms of timing, and there is the technician who speaks, all balls are centered, it has a deep ball that no other player on the circuit has, and that you take the problem beautiful in all directions, when you’ll be presented with a mechanism that is set like his, it’s very, very hard to take control of the point and get to do it missed. “

The proof against the Serbian Sunday, we even thought I detected several times a nervous smile on the face of Murray. Read his lips and a bunch of words that morality prevents us to reproduce here. As if to underline an impotence that is not as his, but that of the whole squad that desperately chasing the yellow jersey.

An almost script written in advance in all tournaments in which Djokovic lines up, that’s what killed the suspense and the public interest for tennis, right? “The players are getting tired, it’s boring. It’s a bit humiliating for everyone “, was summed up before facing the world number 1 in the fourth round, Gilles Simon. Adding that almost all thought the locker room … And we have good retort that if there are people to love seeing Djokovic win week after week, it is now much more than a name, but also a brand very profitable especially in Asia, where it is seen as a vector of values ​​such as class, selflessness and work, the argument is not enough to silence the drunk this arch-domination.

The former champion Henri Leconte, remained very close to the coach of Serbian, German Boris Becker does not make part: But of course v ‘is good ! Why ? Because it allows other players to challenge themselves and work twice. “

Yes, even if Andy Murray, who also worked , can not, then what hope for others? “The Kyrgios, Nishikori, Coric and company are not at all at this level, Forget JA. As for outsiders, there is very little. [...] As long as Novak will not hurt or will not have a big loss of confidence, it will be hard to stop him from winning headlines “ other summarized by Leconte. “If he continues like this, the alien, I think we need to go to Mars in order to beat him.”
