Andy Murray Reveals His Favorite Players To Watch; Indian Wells 1R

[@RobSinox]

[@Harderanger]

Brilliant questions brilliant answers. How it’s done!

[@dirkhartog7438]

So I'm wondering if players are serving so much harder as Andy describes, does this mean there is room again for more serve volleying? I can imagine with so many players being over 190cm and athletic, it would be hard to pass them behind a strong first serve, especially when returners are standing further and further behind the baseline. Players today are probably not been taught to serve volley but if it helps to win points or as a change up to someone who is "in the zone" it may have a role.

[@betpow]

Cressey has tried it...seemed to be working for a while but now he's fallen way off

[@vincentchauvet6654]

i dont think a pure serve and volley game is possible but i think, as you say, having it as a major point of emphasis especially against weaker returners in the way for instance Ben Shelton uses the s&v will defs make a come back. Theres quite a few players that could do with using it more to change things up (eg Rublev)

[@rbarreira2]

Struff and Eubanks can make serve and volley work at times. It's tough because the returns are also much faster than they used to be.

[@dirkhartog7438]

@@rbarreira2 Wow , both players above 6'4" to even contemplate serve volleying. I wonder if it's all pragmatic (only way to win is to stay back) or whether that's the way they are being taught to play from young. If it's pragmatic, it's due to the racquet, balls and court so it's a conscious decision by the people that rule tennis and the sponsors that pay the money. If it's this, it's a shame since the powers decided that having all baseliners was a better product than having a variety of playing styles.

[@livingtribunal4110]

Murray isn´t quite correct in the serve-speed claim. In 1999, the men´s average 1st-serve speed throughout the 4 Majors was: Aus Open: 168kph Roland Garros: 160kph Wimbledon: 187kph US Open: 172kph Fast-forward to 2009, Murray´s 3rd full year on the tour, and speeds increased to the following: Aus Open: 182kph Roland Garros: 185kph Wimbledon: 186kph US Open: 183kph The figures in 2009 are relatively speaking, comparable to those, 14 years ago, in 2023: Aus Open: 192kph Roland Garros: 187kph Wimbledon: 185kph US Open: 190kph Variation in tennis ball density/weight, variable court-surface speeds from year to year, return-of-serve positioning on the court, return-of-serve ability.....so many factors to consider when stacking up _against_ the fact that players are servng faster, but I think the overall stats even themselves out.

[@siddharthreddiar3353]

Wait but I mean from the speeds you listed there's a good 24-28kph from 99 to 23. Without any major changes in racket technology/balls/courts right? It's not like in Bjorn Borg's day where the whole racket was different the speed changes are purely down to players bulking up and hitting harder

[@sollibrero]

Oh, I wanna know are weren't so nice to Andy 😅😂😅

[@nenagolowin83]

Who were his idols and bad to him??? When he started it could be Hewitt, Rusedski, Philipoussis, Rodick...

Hewitt’s a great guy, has always loved mentoring young players. He wouldn’t have been Davis Cup captain for so many years otherwise. Just because he was intense on the court doesn’t mean he was the same off it.

[@adrianboyddodd8007]

Why not have a two handed backhand for serving and high balls and a one handed backhand for everything else ?

[@rbarreira2]

Then you have to learn two shots at elite level.

[@adrianboyddodd8007]

All elite players have multiple shots at elite level this is just one more to add. The greatest players are consistently re-inventing their game, adding more strings to their bow. Any player wanting to be great needs to do likewise to stay ahead.

[@MrMarvellous79]

​@@adrianboyddodd8007 I've been wondering that myself... One day it will come...like the 2-hander came, like the 2-handercon both wings or like the double forehand. :)

[@eaglewinnings8003]

Would give anything to hear who treated young Andy bad but then again his behavior was a lot like how Holger Rune behaves on court (for those of you who don’t remember young Murray) and Rune’s behavior has rubbed the likes of Djokovic, Wawrinka and even Casper Ruud, who by many accounts is the nicest player on tour, in the wrong way. I will say this: Murray, in the past, said that once he got to a certain point Federer would no longer invite him to practice and Murray did have a head to head edge over Fed for a few years early on. But it’s tough to see Roger treating anyone poorly, especially a peer, in any environment let alone in away from the court.

[@ajkorras]

They who were horrible to other, or up and coming players, shouldn't be nameless, maybe Andy wil or has revealed them somewhere else. Or maybe they regret already, but they should understand what their acitions mean.

Big serving has no bearing on if the one hander is a good shot to have. Federer was a master of returning big servers with his slice return. Problem is the players who have one handers like Tsitsipas and Musetti don’t have IQ to go with that stroke.
