And in the end, it’s (still) Djokovic wins. In the final of the Australian Open on Sunday, Andy Murray was unable 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 along one hour and twenty minutes!), Imposed by “Nole” (6-1, 7-5, 7 / -) which, he won his sixth title in Australia. And in passing off 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 No. 1 had left only crumbs to competition, losing only one game that matters facing Stan Wawrinka in the final of Roland . -Garros
“It’s very, very hard …”
So, 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 No. 1 and French friend Roger Federer, Arnaud Boetsch. Too strong … He 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 former teammate Cup Davis Guy Forget, who commented the Australian final to television, added: “That’s why he is No. 1 in the world, it has an insolent ahead of the 2 th (Murray) and we are very envious when we see the flying field. 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 the senses, 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. “
“It’s a bit humiliating …”
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, but only manages to scrape a few bonus points here and there. An almost written script in advance in all tournaments in which Novak Djokovic lines up, that’s what killed the suspense and the public interest for tennis, right? “The players are getting tired, it sucks. It’s a bit humiliating for everyone, “ was summed up before facing the No. 1 worldwide 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 worship see the world No. 1 raise arms with the trophy week after week, Djokovic is now much more a name, but also a highly profitable brand, particularly in Asia, where it is seen as a vector of values such as class, selflessness and work, the argument is actually longer enough to silence the drunk from this arch-domination.
“They are not at all at that level …”
The former champion Henri Leconte, remained very close to the Serbian coach, the German Boris Becker, do not belong. “It criticism, if he wins, says:” Yes, but there is no rivalry, he is all alone … “But of course it ‘ is good ! Why ? Because it allows other players to challenge themselves and work twice. “ Yes but seriously, even if Andy Murray, who also worked hard and made significant progress, can not, then what hope for others? “Frankly, examines Guy Forget, in the next two years, is there a new generation able to say” we, we beat Djokovic to regular because one is stronger? I do not see happen again, not in six months or a year ahead. The Kyrgios, Nishikori, Coric and company are not at all at this level. As for outsiders, there is very little. There Stan Wawrinka, who was enormous at Roland Garros: to beat Novak, is the kind of tennis that he must practice fair and square. So in my opinion, 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 Henri Leconte. “If it continues like this, the alien, I think we need to go to Mars in order to beat him.”
