I guess a lot of people just don't see how Murray's is better :shrug:
Are you seriuos? :spit:
Yes, I am.
I'm very serious.
Murray's forehand:

Is more accurate.
Is more consistent.
Deeper.
Has more topspin.
Is more reliable.
Never goes into a run of errors.
Has a better slice.
Can get some major power on it.

Overall, it is better than Djokovic's.

Re: Who Has The Better Forehand? Murray or Djokovic?

Murray's forehand is considerably inferior to Novaks. It breaks down just as much (see eg the recent Federer match for an example of it breaking down), has far less pace and about the only thing that going for it is the accuracy and the fact that he can disguise his dropshots well with it.

Now comparing Novak and Murray's backhand is a worthy comparison and a difficult question.

68-3, i think this is the most "one way" poll in MTF history...

@Typhoon
You have a little obsession with Novak. I know it bothers you that he's been usually above Murray in the rankings for the last 3,5 years and has accomplished more in his career. I love Murray, don't worry, he will soon win his first slam. But don't try to make a case for him as he's the best thing that happened to Britain since sliced white bread. He still has to prove a lot. :shrug:

since when does murray have a forehand :spit:
Since he started playing his forehand has gotten better and better. Now it is a great weapon. Not power wise, but in other departments.

Re: Who Has The Better Forehand? Murray or Djokovic?

i think the 3 votes were all typhoon on different accounts
No, the other two probably think the same as me.

Murray's is overall a better forehand, but Djokovic's is more powerful but inconsistent.

Novak has much more power to crack winners with his forehand. Rightly so this poll is lop sided. Wonder what those 3 voting for murray,s forehand were thinking. Its not even close

We were wondering how it could be so lop-sided.
Murray's forehand is better overall than Djokovic's nowadays.
OMG. :retard: That's a new low even for the Typhoon Clown :help:
WHAT???

Murray's forehand is better than Novak. Just realise that, okay?

Re: Who Has The Better Forehand? Murray or Djokovic?

I was going to go into reasons why Djokovic has the better forehand - but I can't be bothered, this thread is far too amusing :haha:

The poll speaks for itself.

On a more serious note, there is one shot which Andy Murray tends not to use - a shot that is the staple of any aspiring top player - the inside out forehand to the opponents backhand. One of the reasons for that is despite Andy being a great athlete, he doesn't run around backhand to hit forehand a lot (at all?)

There are not too many players since 1990 who have won slams and not had the inside out forehand as a major part of their arsenal. The only players I can think of are Pat Rafter and Stefan Edberg.

The Murray backhand is exceptional and much higher level than forehand so does not run around the backhand.
