Playing those rallies for more than 3 hours can't be healthy.
Australian Open 2015

feck sake Djok.
Novak injured or just for show?
You never know with him.
He hasn't seemed right all match something been off since the start with him
Don't know, but he's stretching and wincing a lot more after losing points than he is after winning them.
Novak suddenly alright now
Yeah, he's fine again. A miracle.
Another 'miraculous' recovery like he did against Nadal in finals a couple of times? US Open final springs to mind. Looked destroyed for a game or two (happens only when he is behind or when his opponent is in the middle of a comeback), Nadal thrown off his concentration, bang bang bang, Djokovic wins the set and match by running around like a spring chicken once he gets his break back.
Call me a cynic, but Djokovic can be a charlatan sometimes.
EDIT: never mind, by the time I finished writing this, I see others already have posted what I suspected would happen. His praying skills are surely world class, 'miracle' granted again. lulz.
Like the commentators said. Nole winces when he's losing a point almost as if he's looking for sympathy
He can but even with all the theatrics something isn't quite right today with him, for all his flashes of brilliant play he isn't powering on from it how much is Murray or the rest him who knows.
eurosport commentator's surprised that Djokovic looks more energized all of a sudden. As if we'd never seen this pattern before.
My heart can't take this.
He still hooks in a couple of suckers. His performances on the court should be in the running for some sort of special Oscar lifetime award.
Would be awesome if this match can go the distance like THAT 2012 Australian open final between Nadal and Djoker
If either of them actually makes more of a push after a break they could pull away, so far it is break after break and rally after rally
Murray has bottled this.
Even the serbian Eurosport commentator was surprised, and he is watching him all the time.
Edit: Oh, thought you were talking about something else, I missed his "injury", just ignore my post.
Dreadful from Murray.
Come on Nole!
Murray self destructing again similar to the start of the 2nd set
Murray slipping heavily and quickly.
Murray laughing: "I fell for it again." Novak still 'struggling' lads? Something still 'off'?
Finish him, Nole.
If Nole wins it's gonna be because he confused Murray with his play acting.
Why do I follow sports
Djokovic is just mentally stronger, this will be done in 4.
Murray confusing himself with his own attitude i think all over the shop now
This is shocking stuff.
You can't fault either man for wilting here with 3 hours + for just 3 sets. It's been an absolute war of attrition and who can make the least amount of errors through it.
As always with Murray in a final appearance though, it's always what if. So many moments he stands toe to toe and puts his opponent on the back foot but lets it slip. That volley to the baseline in the first. The break point in the third. So close all the time.

Painful to watch this now 
Loving this. That'll shut Murray's wife up good.
Game over. Murray's lost the fight.
What has she been saying?
Too easy now. Well played Djoko
Beautiful. The fifth Australian Open.
She's been talking some shit about Berdych, apparently.
Bagel incoming.
Anticlimax this. Disappointing. Still well played Murray. 10 slam finals in best era of men's tennis, along with how well he competes shows how good a player he is but winning just 2 out of those 10 and brainfarts on key moments like today is the reason he is not in same league as 'big 3.'
Murray has fell apart.
