who murray? he’s a counterpuncher, not a pusher. Pushers just “push” the ball back over the net. Murray moves his opponents to every corner of the court
Broadcast TV camera angle never does tennis justice, they make it look like Pong. Only players can understand the complexities – but angles like this help.
You’re totally right, from the front row on the baseline the shots that they hit look TOTALLY different than on TV, you suddenly understand exactly how hard they’re hitting the ball. It’s really amazing.
If you play tennis, you know both how beautiful and scary this footage looks from this angle. These top players can bagel & breadstick other Top 100 players, so imagine yourself trying to play against them.

This camera angle is THE best!

I like court-level camera angle.
ATP should shoot more footage like this during the tournaments.

Their strokes are so fluid.
