After correctly analyzing Rafael Nadal’s service tactics when under pressure, Mischa Zverev, in an excellent interview with Tennis Magazinealso reflected on his victory over Andy Murray in the third round of the Australian Open in 2017. Without a doubt one of the greatest victories of his career.
Teasing with the Briton and his difficulties in changing pace, Alexander’s brother quickly returned to the case of the Spaniard.
“Murray can’t accelerate (laughs). It might sound strange for a player of his class, but he doesn’t have the pull in the arm like Rafa or Federer or even a Jack Sock. I had played Rafa the previous week in Brisbane and lost one and one. No chance of winning. He could pass me nineteen different ways. I couldn’t read his punches. They were too fast in addition to the effect he puts on, so that sometimes I had the impression that he was going to fly against the tarp. Murray’s forehand and backhand are relatively straight. And he doesn’t like to play along the line. »
