McEnroe was not loved by anybody for most part of his career, not even by his mum. The fans hated him, everbody did. It wasn't until much later that he became 'loveable'.

This is going to be a battle of stamina. Crazy amount of running already. Whoever has more stamina is going to win this and if that's the case I can see Murray win.
I don't think Murray will ever be anywhere close to "loveable". He's just plain annoying to watch. No charisma whatsoever, no charm and all he does is grunt and moan and abuse. However if he goes on to win some Slams he's not going to care if he's popular or not.
I think it will only come down to stamina if it makes it to 5 sets..
Quality of tennis has been pretty poor. It's just 2 people trying to return everything instead of going for shots. A bit of a snoozefest till now.
Nole needs to break Murray's serve finally. This would speed things up hopefully. Cant spend the whole day watching tennis, got shit to do.
The only excitement being Nole's drop shots and Murray occasionally screaming feck.
Ana, oh Ana.
Kim vs Li Na >>>>> Novak vs Murray
Huge rally. 2 set points to Djokovic.
Brilliant rally then
Yes baby!
Djokovic first set yes yes yes 
2 more sets Novak!
2 more sets Novak!
1-0! Challenges from Murray have been poor.
He's holding serve well, and he will get chances, especially now with Murray chasing the match more.

Nole wins the first set 6-4
Murray's serving was really poor in the final game of the first set.
at the Serbs chanting a Red Star song.. Terrible.High quality first set. Not much Murray has done wrong, you just have to give Djokovic all the credit as he's playing unbelievably well.
at Murray asking his box to relax.Great challenge, and Djokovic breaks him.
Linesmen unbelievably bad today.
Andy Murray reaction to the Djokovic challengeGreat break from Nole.
One of the best at challenging calls.

Nole breaks early in the 2nd
Murray might YET win this match but his tennis has been absolutely shocking. He's just returning the ball and doing absolutely nothing with it.

I would absolutely love it if Murray gets humiliated. Love it!
Straight sets would be brilliant but this is not over.

No need to be nervous. No jinx would be strong enough to will Murray to a Grand Slam
Bagel?

Murray - I'm Lovin It
Going fast now. Murray's now fighting himself instead of his opponent. Djokovic has been superb, were talking Federer/Nadal level. Brilliant stuff.
I feel sorry for Murray right now, but the hype machine needs to be destroyed.
Murray's mom. I think I see some tears there.Murray's mom wants to cry.
