It's Murray v Djokovic.

Is Murray employing"rope a dope"

 

[Triggaaar]

He's left it a bit late to start breaking serve now

 

[Triggaaar]

Last game of the match, here we go

 

[Triggaaar]

Done. 3 - 1.

Poor Scotland

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

First time I've watched Murray and been frustrated with him. Novak was there for the taking

I hope for your sake, you're not implying Murray choked.

Murray doesn't choke. He merely expereriences inexplicable losses of form in high pressure situations.

There's a massive different between not taking your chances and choking.

I think only idiots would claim Murray chokes - the bloke is in the top 3 British sportsmen

Murray has been in 10 Slam finals and only met 2 players, Federer and Djokovic! He has done well to win 2 of them imo.

In any other era he would have 7/8 slams.

Never a truer word and where I do have a lot of sympathy for Murray where, in effect, he has been one of four top players in the same era.

Maybe as Fed and Nadal are slowly fading his time will come.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Djok and Jock are the same age. Whilst Nadal and Fed are off, Djok will always be there and newbies coming through.

The two Grand slams that he won were when Lendl was his coach. I think it's psychological strength he needs rather than physical strength or form. He tends to dwell on dropped points and finds it hard to pick himself up again straightaway, whereas Novak can put errors behind him and switch off immediately, to get on with the task in hand.

Some small consolation for him is that he has an Olympic Gold medal, they haven't!

This for me. Saying that, if he'd been in that Hewitt era between Federer and Sampras, we'd probably be talking about a guy with 10+ grand slams. He's been unlucky, but he's also been a barrier to his own success with how he's dealt with coaches.

Which is a bit like golf, How many Masters have won, or how many Ryder Cup wins, some wins are far more important

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Yeah, we've got the champ CEO.

 

[Dick Head]

I think the top three should go straight up.

 

[Bladders]

Has he lost again yet?

It's like I can see the future

 

[Pogue Mahone]

It's like I can see the future

Yes, the underdog lost and you predicted it! Massive congratulations.
