Entertaining, but more drama than quality I think. Mind you, Djoko-Stan matches here almost seem to fall into that by default these days.

And it's going the distance.

I thought this match was full of drama, but difffinently not like their last meetings which did have a lot of quality, that was missing for long periods... Djokovic hasn't been at his best and he will need to be if he wants to beat murray otherwise if he plays like he did there he will be done in straight sets.

Here we go then.

Head says a close first two shared sets followed by Djoko winning in four, heart says Murray to take a two set lead and then hold on for a four set win.

Can't drop five break points in a set against him......points he was in as well

[Manwell Pablo]

Alright maybe you can

[Facecloth]

What a strange first set. Momentum has swung Murray's way though, needs to push on and try and break Djokovic here.

Crucial TB here. So little between them. Two best returners on the planet.

[leicsmac]

Nervy TB from both players there, but Murray buckles first. All to do now.

Yep breaks of serve not a rarity as expected

[leicsmac]

Djokovic going in for a little gamesmanship with the ankle there. 

 

Seeing as Murray uses the same trick himself at times I reckon he's not buying it.

[leicsmac]

Incredible stuff this.

[Manwell Pablo]

Agreed Murray wins this set this match could go on all day

[leicsmac]

And take it he does. Could be a long one.

Funny how you feel less confident either can manage to hold their serve, kind of like the opposite... murray djoko match ups are incredible due to the similarities... so many rallies and it is always the odd point or two that makes the difference

These two are that good being the server almost isn't an advantage.

[ScouseFox]

did djokovic just dive

[Manwell Pablo]

did djokovic just dive

Was doing that earlier as well then all of a sudden miraculously recovered

[leicsmac]

All the top players have their little tricks. Nole likes using the occasional tactical MTO too.

[ScouseFox]

Murray used to do it all the time too tbf. this match is nuts. I'm meant to be working but this is on one of the screens so I'm not.

[leicsmac]

This one is done now, I think. The 'head' prediction comes through.

 

Still, Murray back in the top 4 which bodes well for the future. Not many guys beat Nole in Aus anyway - only two since 2007, if I remember right.

Murray's weak scotch mentality was always likely to be his undoing.

Murray is the Drinkwater of Tennis.

A weak shit.

Surely the final set won't finish 6-0

Says the man who thinks Janowicz is a world beater!

[ADK]

Quite predictable really.

[ealingfox]

Its a bit of a sad reality but Murray is little more than a flat-track bully. Good at making the no-marks look shite but gets a pasting whenever he comes up against anyone half-decent.
