Murray also knows Djokovic’s potential opponents inside out.<\/p>\n
Murray had played everyone Djokovic faced from the third round onwards in Melbourne – Tomas Machac, Jiri Lehecka, Alcaraz and Zverev – in the past four years.<\/p>\n
“I know what the speed of their serve is like, what the top-spin on their shots is like, and hopefully have a decent understanding of their strengths and weaknesses,” Murray said.<\/p>\n
During Djokovic’s victory over Alcaraz, former British number one Annabel Croft spotted the Serb going low down the middle during the rallies.<\/p>\n
Asked afterwards by a small group of British reporters about his tactical input, Murray grinned.<\/p>\n
He refused to take the credit, insisting it was all Djokovic’s own work. <\/p>\n
But given his meticulous attention to detail, it would be a surprise if Murray isn’t studying hours of video footage and combing through statistics.<\/p>\n
“When Andy played he was one of the more data-driven players out there,” said former Australian player John Millman, who is working as an analyst, external<\/span><\/a> with host television broadcaster Channel Nine.<\/p>\n “He felt better going into a match with that wealth of information. I’m sure he’s brought that into the Djokovic camp.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
