In all seriousness, and I'm not being very serious tonight, it's suicidal to let your opponent back from 4-0 down and a set up.

Nerves? To be honest I think the first service game he threw away having just got the double break was shocking.

Mind he never does things the easy way does he?

Totally. Novak has beaten Federer in 5 before, so this should be no problem. And Murray has an injury.....

:wink:

Gota say the tennis both are producing is just outstanding. Djokovic's recovery is as good as I've ever seen.

Murray is striking it so well.

Unbelievable stuff.

This is all crumbling away from Murray.

Can't see past Djokovic.

Think he saw Murray looking a bit drained at the start of the third and has played on that. Djokovic looks like he could carry on like this for hours. Murray looks knackered.

Wonder if that injury is a bit more than it first seemed?

Djoko serving well, hitting clean. Murray serving poor, hitting duff shots at critical moments.

He needs to find a way out of the slump.

Pretty much. Biggest trouble is that Murray seems to have no energy! Mental, physical or otherwise......

I spent God knows how many years supporting Jimmy White and being turned slowly mental by the experience.

Really don't want to go through it all over again in my 20s. :(

For me Murray has to win this set or he's done for. Cant see him winning this in 5. Djokovic would have too much momentum.

Finding his shots again but Djoko may be serving too good to let him back into this set. After that it's all mental.

Murray has lost this. I think nerves have drained his energy.

I feel for him. Cos there pretty much isn't much he could do to have changed the last two sets.

Djokovic has just been imperious.

Pretty much a repeat of the Aussie Semi-Final. Murray started well but couldn't ride the wave to victory and let Djoko back in.

Murray took that game to 5-5 in the fifth. This one could be shorter.

I just can't take this. Normally you'd say that was it.

This isn't normally.

Djokovic to break back straight away?

Never easy with the Scots. We like a good nail-biter.

3 good service games from the title.
