Australian Open Day 10-14 - Djokurray! And others! :P

First topic message reminder :

Also not Berdych's biggest fan, but I do like him, and he's a watch connoisseur, I'm an amateur watch maker... Gotta support the market!

Yep, had to tail. He was playing irrepressible tennis.

'...Rafa having a staggering level of fitness..'

Well, the same could be said of Novak during and after 2011. Rafa could sustain his level better than anyone else because he's trained to withstand pressure and stays mentally focused longer than anyone else. Novak couldn't do that hence his ups and downs during a long match.

It's all about what you can get from the far end.

Yes but he has to be careful strike a balance.

F*cking net chord!

blown opportunity on bp and second serve for Djokovic

I do think if Murray gets going it could be interesting. Djokovic has won something like one grand slam in his last five finals, a virtual final against Rafa in RG 2013 (with all due respect to Ferrer). Could the scars return?

Come onnnnn

something wrong with Novak blisters maybe?

Poor from Murray

Murrays 2nd serve is truly tragic, I just can't understand how he can go this far into a career and not address it.

Oh Andy!!!

Djoko with a hurt hand

Brief thoughts - Murray's first serve deserting him and not converting enough break points. Novak serving for the first set.

trainer has been called hurt his hand on the dive

Just what the hell.

Novak won that dogfight.

Such a premium a Djokovic break. Can't give it back.

#Cratergate2015?

Come on break him now, before the doctor comes in.

Kim with a Patental advisory, Explicit content t-shirt, what a mare

Novak has to make it interesting

Wow what a backhand from Murray

Novak just pushing I think the hand is bothering him

It's down right dirty slugfest now.

Djokovic drama queen.

Still, he keeps the trainers in business.

Break back againnn


Keep it up, Djoko swearing a little.

Disturbing all the steam out of his shots

My word, these guys are good. Breathtaking final so far. Suspect Novak will now break for the set.

Yeah because falling on hardcourt you couldn't possibly hurt yourself BB now could you?

Novak currently winning 45% of points on 1st serve (gulp!). Murray 27% on 2nd (expected).

Got to wonder what Novak has done there.

Has to maintain his composure here. He is still in the driving seat.

Djokos finger is fine, stop this acting.

Same old Djokovic. Been going on for years.

If Djokovic and Tom Brady could lose on the same day... I think I might be in sporting heaven.

Difficult match to call at the moment. I have to think Djokovic will end up victorious, but Gerry has had a flawless run of predictions this entire tournament, and he's backed Djokovic

Decisions. Decisions

Novak has lost his cool

Djoko to lose in 4 here, due to thumb skin off

He is either hurt or lost his cool completely

Or both.

Take it 7:5 no TB

I couldn't bear another Seattle victory!

Andy definitely the better player now.

Wow great return

Oh look, his hand's got better.

Lesser of two evils, you must understand LK. Plus I really can't stand Brady!!

There you go Novak, hopefully he can some work done in he change over and regain some focus

Andy getting annoyed now.

Chill!

I could handle a Brady victory more than a Wilson one!

So if Djoko wins this set, then he is not hurt and not lost his cool?

Crush him Andyyy

djokovic's body language is so annoyed right now

But then you'd miss out on a Richard Sherman victory speech!!

Murray got to be favorite going into the TB, playing stronger last few games.

Back on tennis...

Djokovic's hand looks ghastly. He should just pop that bad boy

Whatever happened to Novak 2011 edition, looking by recent performances, he's not gonna be coming back. Panning forward unless Djokovic finds that previous level, it will be incredibly hard for him to beat Nadal at Roland Garros.
