Andy Murray V Novak Djokovic US Open Final 2012

[Bob!]

Choke

 

[Worthingite]

Murray choking. I hope I'm wrong, I really do, but if he loses this then I don't think he'll EVER get to this point again. Too much mental baggage.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Murray needs to start playing more British and less Scottish.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Sher Shorne not looking too happy. Great tennis whoever wins

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Is that a tip of a st Andrews I see....

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The radio commentary heard Murray mutter, 'My legs are like jelly'. It sounds like the first set really took it out of him.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Murray's body language is starting to look all wrong. Frustration creeping in

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Djokovic to win in 5 sets but i hope i am wrong

rubbish murray in this set

come on murray

He who is winning gets the support, eh.

Tennis is such a mentally draining sport. Djokovic is incredible, Murray is extremely good... Only one winner at the moment.

 

[Worthingite]

You just get the feeling that the carpets been taken out from under Murray. Only one winner now sadly

 

[Captain Sensible]

What is the actual score guys?

 

[Worthingite]

He NEEDS the break now, he's in the shit otherwise.

It's not just mentally draining but physically draining especially after 3 hours of extreme effort.

What is the actual score guys?

7-6, 7-5, 2-6, 1-2*

 

[Captain Sensible]

7-6, 7-5, 2-6, 1-2*

Thanks!

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Djokovic has really got his act together with his serves. He just looks mentally and physically fitter than Murray.

will be going all the way to the 5th set

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Time call from the umpire - what was all that about on a windy night

A lot more mental than physical. Both these players can comfortably do this for 5/6 hours. The problem for Murray is deciding whether to fight on, or surrender the set and play a huge best of 1 set match in the fifth. No win position for Murray now.
