Summary
Djokovic has finished four of the past five years as the world number one and will hold on to the top ranking if he reaches the final in Paris. However, since Djokovic has completed the career Grand Slam and decreased his motivation, Murray has closed the gap dramatically in terms of points over the past four months and now trails by just 415, with 1,000 on offer to the winner in Paris, but Djokovic has won for the past three years on the indoor courts of Bercy. Murray said that I’ve never won there before, so to just expect that you’re going to win the tournament would be silly.
Opinion
I believe that it is very challenging for Kei Nishikori as a Japanese tennis star to defeat the new number one player in order to won a Grand Slam and become the world number one player. As Djokovic said, Murray is playing maybe the best tennis he’s ever played, very constant, very strong. His playstyle is very defensive. He always runs very hard and catches balls. On the other hand, Kei’s playstyle is very aggressive. He offences with errors risk. Since Murray is good at defensive tennis, it is difficult for Kei to defeat Murray with his risky play. However, I hope that Kei will win Grand Slams and become the world number one player as a Japanese tennis fun.
