Many players, even those at the top of their game, have had certain surfaces they have struggled with. Many considered Novak Djokovic that player on clay, but barring the French Open, the Serb has a very strong clay-court record.
This year, Murray has had success on every surface. Barring the US Open, the Scot has reached the final of every single Grand Slam, winning on grass; he made a number of clay-court finals – including the French Open, and won titles on the surface – in Italy after making the finals in Madrid. Despite losing to Djokovic in two of those three Murray scalped a set off the Serb on both occasions and seriously troubled him at Roland Garros.

Winning his third Grand Slam – his second on Grass, Murray followed it up with a win at the Olympics and has been unequivocally strong in his gameplay whether it is on clay, hard-courts, adcourts or grass. This year, his game has appeared to show next to no particular ‘weaknesses’ – points his rivals would otherwise use to pinpoint the flaws in his game.
Should Djokovic not make the finals at Paris-Bercy this year at the BNP Paribas Masters, it will be Murray who takes the No. 1 title – and deservedly so.
