Australian Open 14th-27th January

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza's face. :haha:

What was that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Djokovic!

Beast Mode activated.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Djokovic. Two break points remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One break point remaining.

Similarly poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic breaks and will serve for the third set!

[Marc Overmars]

:rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three set points for Djokovic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the third set 6-3. :bow:

2-1 he leads. Really tough on Muzza now to win it from here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is having a whine about something, really not sure what.

[Marc Overmars]

He has cracked.

[Cripps_orig]

Losing interest now.

Djokovic is good but not the most entertaining

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-30 down straight up in the fourth...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant drop half-volley from Muzza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds on, 0-1 in the fourth set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Murray!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very well served from Nole. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic holds, 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Djokovic!

When he goes up a level there isn't much Muzza can do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good serve from Muzza, one break point remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray hits the net and Djokovic breaks! 2-1 in the fourth.

[Cripps_orig]

It's over

[Marc Overmars]

and thats the end of that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bit of a fluke from Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear Murray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is dropping balls again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Djokovic. How the fuck does he do it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault gives Djokovic the double break. 4-1.

Muzza. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic is two points away from taking the title according to Sue.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a shot. Not sure how Djokovic saw that angle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray is serving to stay in the Championship.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb sliced dropshot from Djokovic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray holds on and at least makes Djokovic serve out for the Championship.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic flukes a smash to make it 15-30. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic wins 6-7 (2-7) 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 6-2! :bow:

His fourth Australian Open levels him with Federer and Agassi and his third in a row. :bow:

He now ties with Becker Edberg, Budge and Crawford for Slams on six.

Murray didn't break Djokovic once in the match, which is quite incredible.

It all went wrong for Murray when the feather intervened.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

murray lost that when his head went down and he decided to play the victim role. as usual.

stinking attitude. he wont become elite or anywhere near until that changes. its hindering him and he cant see it.

glad he lost.

[Marc Overmars]

When is Nadal back?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Supposed to be next month.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Murray proper Scotty Parkered through the later stages. A tearjerker. :upset:

[Master Splinter]

Disappointing final. Most of that is because Murray reverted back to Old Murray who would rather rally all day than take charge and assert some authority. He had a chance to break and add to his momentum when Djokovic was completely rattled at the beginning of the second set, but failed to go for the jugular. Good timing by Maccy to get the feather into the stadium at that crucial moment too.

Djokovic was dominant in sets three and four and completely deserved the title. That ridiculous lob which landed on Murray's baseline towards the end of the match just summed up how absurd his defences are.

Hope the Kia guy is promoted next year and does all the talking instead of that twit.

[Master Splinter]

Murray in five

Maccy to rack up at least another 500 posts

MS to state 'tennis :bow: ' at least three times

JSAO :lol:.

Awlful predictor.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

JSAO :lol:.

Awlful predictor.


GW number one poster JSAO says defeat in the Australian Open final is easier to take in light of his recent good form.

All good ;)

He's ranked 3rd in the world and won the US Open last year and the Olympics.
If that's not elite then...well, it is elite so stop being silly.
