Murray vs Djokovic: 3 Reasons Why This Will Be The Next Great Tennis Rivalry
3. No More Roger Or Rafa
Of course we havent seen the back of these two champions yet, but the signs are that increasingly they cannot produce the form of 5 years ago (when in nearly 5 hours Nadal finally beat Federer at Wimbledon). On Rogers part, his age is probably the biggest factor. His efficient, careful and frankly eloquent style has meant that his career has been predominantly injury free; it is only now, at the age of 31 that his form has slipped noticeably. For Rafa the issue is his knees, the bane of his tennis life. More and more it looks like Rafa will only be a real threat on clay, and only for a limited amount of time each year. This opens the doors for Murray and Djokovic who have long been snapping at the heels of these falling heroes, ready to play their part in the making of history.
