Australian Open 2013

It was coming. Murray lost his concentration for a few moments and that's all it took.
 
Well, Djokovic had the chances in the first set and lost the tiebreak. Murray has been by far the better player in the second and has missed a big chance.
 
How average does novak look today? Shocking unforced errors.
 
There is literally nothing between them. You get the feel if there is a break, the tide could turn.
 
Actually, murray is playing better. but Djokovic wins the crucial points. Murray hitting more winners, more spectacular shots, less unforced errors and his serve has been better. Novak fighting real hard, because his form is not there.

Depends on which form we are talking about. If its his 2011 form, then he has been out of form for a long time. He just was a monster that year.
 
5 Live's commentary through the red button is fantastic. Anything not to have to listen to Andrew Castle.
 
Delighted, the Murray camp (mom and girlfriend) kept making annoying hewitt faces when Murray won a point.

Worried for Murray if he can not beat Djokovic making 20 more unforced errors than him. He missed a big chance in that second set, was much better than Djokovic then.

Agree about the second set. Now he is clearly not moving comfortably, and without that freedom to it's going to be very difficult turning this round.
 
I'm just waiting for Murray to attack a kid for time wasting
 
This could run away from Murray v quickly. Needs to dig in deep here. His SF is going to tell at some point, 5 tough sets and Djokovic played 3 in no time and had an extra day off.
 
with the first set tiebreak and the first two games, murray won 18 out of the 20 points. Djokovic didnt up his game much in the rest of that second set either. Bbc commentators got very cocky and Murray kind of.blew it for the rest of the set.
 
Djokovic's serve is becoming unplayable on big points. First couple of sets it wasn't there.

Murray had the same at the US Open he had a 4 hour semi final match before the final and with the work he is putting in over the close season he should be ok for Sunday.

Nah. Fitness levels clearly not there so 'early' (relatively when you talk about a match with djokovic) in the match.

Indeed. The better player until injured and the idea that he isn't fit is laughably stupid.

Clearly he realised he was beaten with two sets still to play in a grand slam final and started to pretend to be injured rather than fight hard to win it. I see no other explanation.
 
This one is done. It was always a big ask but I did think Murray would take it to 5, but not to be. He can still be happy with his tournament though.
 
YES. Loving how cocky the bbc commentators were when djokovic was 6-7, 0-1, 0-40.
 
Aye, he's fecked. He's struggling fitness wise now, you can see how laboured his stance even is, and Novak is a fecking machine these days.
 
meh, game over. Poor final. Chill out with the injury comments lads, I'm just severely fecked off he's losing. I play a lot of tennis and blisters are hugely painful.
