Among all the top male players right now, Andy Murray has probably made the best turnaround on clay, from being a mere pushover for clay court specialists to making an emphatic victory in the Masters Series in Rome against the world no.1, Novak Djokovic!
That 63 63 scoreline was just incredible, although it may have also shown how tired Novak was already since the Rome Open is the last relatively important tournament before RG.
An article explained the technicalities of what Andy had done to his game, but for us fans, it would be better if we just see him play this fortnight, and judge for ourselves, what he did right to tweak his game to suit this very slippery surface.
Without RF in the draw, Andy's potential nemeses could be Isner in the 4R, Gasquet in the QFs, Wawrinka in the SFs and Novak in the finals - a much easier path than the rest of the top men.
