    - After his big win over Murray in the round of 16, Djokovic had some criticism of Murray's game.

    Serbian star Novak Djokovic, who now holds a 3-0 edge over Scot Andy Murray says he thinks Murray is too passive. In his press conference after beating Murray 6-0, 6-4 on Thursday in Monte Carlo, Djokovic was asked “How did this win compare with your previous wins against Andy?”. He answered, “...I had a feeling that he was a bit too passive throughout the match. He was not taking his chances. So I used mine when I got them.”

    This is not the first time that Murray has been criticized by other players for not being aggressive enough. Though Murray beat him in the first round, Roger Federer also said that the Scot was playing too passively. Murray recently started working with clay tennis legend Alex Corretja with the hopes of improving his all-court game.
