Playing style

In 2009, professional tennis coach Paul Annacone said of Murray. Who emphasizes defensive baseline play in his all-court style of play, “may be the best counterpuncher on tour today.” His ability to anticipate and react. His low error rate on groundstrokes, and his quick switch from defense to offense. Which allows him to hit winners from defensive positions, are some of his strongest traits. Murray uses his more passive forehand and his sliced backhand to allow opponents play into his defensive game before switching to an offensive one. He also possesses one of the best two-handed backhands on the tour. With dynamic stroke execution. Murray, behind Lleyton Hewitt, may have the finest lob in the game, according to Tim Henman’s 2013 assessment.
