@@loyedloyed6602 Djokovic was better on grass in 2011-2013 than he was from 2018-2024. The competition was just so bad he was able to win loads of titles during the later time.
@@NickHeights that is only your silly assumption to suit your sad little agenda. You wouldn't be saying that if it was Murray instead of Djokovic. Lol. The game always evolves physically and improves over time. So it becomes more difficult to win titles as time goes by. It is not rocket science. Anyone who has followed Djokovic over the years will know that he became a complete different beast from 2014 onwards which includes on grass or any surface as well. No wonder why he pummelled Murray in the other 3 Majors after 2013 Wimbledon (woeful 0-5 in the Majors since which is a part of 14-3 overall in favour of Novak). The same thing would have happened in Wimbledon or any grass tournament too if not for a small grass season window and Murray being not really good enough (except for 2016 which was albeit won by him with the luck of the draw). Anyway your comment could have been legit if Djokovic and Murray played enough on grass across several years. The orginal comment which had a point about AO. One of the big factors why Murray never won that Australian Open Major. While Djokovic has nothing to prove on grass and Wimbledon by winning it a whopping 7 times, beating the likes of Federer and Nadal on the way, the guys who clobbered Murray at Wimbledon.
Shows how good Murray was to those who said he wasn’t. He was pretty much always going to quarter finals and beyond in every big tournament he played at his peak
One thing I find interesting is Murray never lost to Djokovic on grass, even managed to beat Djokovic on clay once too. Murray beat Djokovic in the Final to win his first Slam AND his first M1000 title. Djokovic was Murray’s boogeyman in Australia. Sad to see the 2017 Doha Final was their last encounter. Murray fell off hard to injuries before that year was over. At least it was a great match.
It's crazy that Murray denied Djokovic's first title in Cincinnati for that long. In the end, Novak has the gene of the GOAT while Murray broke his body and never recover since RG 2017.
You can't just compare like that without taking the full context into consideration. Grass seasons last only 1 month in a calendar year, while Murray and Djokovic played each other on that surface only twice in their entire careers until 2013 when Djokovic just had 1 Wimbledon title to his name. On the other hand they played each other 6 times on clay and the Serb turned out victorious on 5 occasions including twice at Roland Garros (Djokovic won the first 4 meetings on clay). Almost the similar situation on hard courts where Djokovic actually owns Murray there too, both indoors and outdoors (Djokovic won the first 3 meetings on hard).
i think the period between october november 2016 where murray plays almost every tournament to become the nummer 1 ruined his body unfourtenaly forever. So sad
Maybe, but it was truly remarkable!!! Winning all this matches to clinch the number 1 spot, at the last match of the season beating his rival, Murray you're a legend!!! Respect🙌🏼
I think it goes back further than that. 2012 was his last fully fit year on tour. He had a back issue that he suffered with for 18 months or so before having surgery in 2013. His 2014 season was a bit of a write off. 2015 was relatively injury free, but he was building back and then his hip issues started to cause him problems in 2016. Without all the injuries Murray would have a ton more titles. Not saying he's up there with the big 3, bit definitely closer to them than Stan.
05:13 ⭐Shanghai 2012 Final - the turning point of this rivalry: after this match, Murray was constantly losing to Djokovic till 2016 (the year Murray hit his peak and became World No.1, even with that, it was 3-2 for Novak in 2016) 👍the only big wins Andy got against Novak [post-2012/pre-2016] were Wimbledon 2013 & Canada 2015
@@johnhawk4162 yeah man, if the some case happened but on any random clay event, it wouldn't be that bad 👍Shanghai 2012 Final mentally hurts Murray way too much cause Shanghai is one of his best tournaments, the surface there suits his game and the fans love him 💚he had multiple championships points and lost 💔
10:10 I think for a moment the commentator wants to say Murray wins his biggest title, then realised Murray already has GSs; He doesnt really know where he's going with his words...🤣
It stopped being a rivalry after 2013, rather became a lopsided dominance of Novak, because sadly, Murray's peak level was no longer there even though he was still extremely consistent. At the end of 2013, H2H was 11-8 in Djoker's favour and after that it was 14-3 for Novak.
A lot of the focus on Murray and his injury issues that derailed his career in 2017 but this rivalry clearly shows how impactful the surgery he had after the US Open in 2013. He spent the next 18 months working his way back to the top in which time Djokovic beat him numerous times, sometimes quite easily. By 2016, their matches got closer and Murray started winning some.
Hard to believe this is one of two rivalries to feature finals in each slam. Federer and Nadal never even played one match together in US, and Federer and Djokovic played in 2/4 slam finals. French makes sense given that Rafa kept them locked out, but the Fedole have 16 AO between them yet no finals matches!
I am surprised that their last match was in 2017 (Doha final). At that point in time Andy and Nole were n1 and n2 respectively and everybody believed they would reign tennis for the next 4-5 years. Unfortunately, Murray developed his hip injury that same year while Novak got issues both mentally and physically.
Who would have thought they would never meet again after 2016/ early 2017 when they finished 1 and 2 and many believing they officially took over the game
@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat Wawrinka beat Djokovic in the Majors or best of 5 sets matches 4 times and losing the other 6 times (4-6). Whereas Murray beat Djokovic only 2 times at the Majors or best of 5 sets matches and lost the other 8 times (2-8) despite being the same age. Even Wawrinka owned Murray in such big matches as well (6-3) despite being older. The latter is just an overrated piece of chap. Go figure the whole context before commenting desperately. Lol 😂😆
You can clearly see how gracious Djokovic was in defeat, and Murray was bitching about it. At least at the start of their rivalry. Djokovic is the only real man out of the so-called "big 4" 😂.
I will never understand how Djokovic doesnt realise who "deserves" a greet at the net like he gave Murray almost every time. This is by no means anything against Andy, I am jus lt saying that some opponents deserve a regular handshake and some deserve a warmer greet. Alwyas hated how he is, IMHO, too warm with Andy, who is just regular with him.
We have a verse in the Qur’an that means: Every human being acts according to his nature. Novak is naturally a friendly person and has known Andy since childhood. You might even say that Andy needed a long time to mature and accept loss with all sportsmanship, and he learned that from Djokovic, as you notice at the end of the video.
Big three is real and four only existed because he has British tax. No amount of masters and ifs n whts cover minimum of 17 slam difference..contrary to popular opinion his level is near to Wawrinka rather than big three. As 17 slam difference cant be cover with masters

Compete nonsense. It was cumulative.
nope it was the training he did in 2016 that went too much on his hip
@@awaroriko That's ridiculous and completely untrue.
Hip degradation is as a result of a lifetime of wear and tear as he's said himself.

Murrays peak was 2010-2013..I personally think he was overrated in 2016. 2016 was a weak year in tennis

Sad that Murray had to get a major injury when he did. He was still top class 😢
Fun fact, they were world no.1 and no.2 for their last 8 meetings
When your favourite court type’s best player is on one of your biggest rivals you only have one option beat them on grass instead
If only there were more fast courts
