    Re: Can Murray win his 2nd grand slam?

    Great stuff , but now the real test begins ..

    Murray really needs to keep the aggressive play and pressure up to force Novak to raise his game , can he do it ? ( He was up 2 sets before at US open and Novak came back )

    Re: Can Murray win his 2nd grand slam?

    Djoker looks hurt and dangerous , Murray better watch himself out there as Id be surprised if he didnt have 2nd wind or turn itaround.

    AND yes he ( djoker ) is definitely still in it with a big shot , in fact he just broke back to prove it.

    Murray is going to really have a mental wall to scale now ( esp if he loses this set )

    yup murrays had mental lapse / downer , and djokers upped the pressure - this could be the beginning of the end for Murray

    If Djoker breaks back here he could win the match, but it looks like Murray has it in the bag

    Stunning! Well done, Andy Murray! Coming back from 1-4 down in the second set really said it all, but that final game of the match was incredible.

    Re: Can Murray win his 2nd grand slam?

    That was hard to watch!

    The BBC commentary as well was a bit annoying especially andy castle. he Seemed to want to write murray off at every chance.

    The thing that people seem to forget is murray is an amazing returner of the ball. Players hardly ever get aces past him because he just want give up on a shot and that has to be really hard to play against.

    77 years down and We have a worthy champion.

    I`ve never really been a fan of Djokovich, he always seems really arrogant to me but then again You need that to be a winner I guess

    I was surprised he won in straight sets, given how similar he and Djokovic can be i.e. tenacity and movement around the court. I'm a huge admirer of Djokovic, as Murray said in his post match interview, the guy never gives up on a point.

    TBH he had pretty bad off day , it was really only in that final game or two he came alive.

    Djokers serve was esp off - in some ways this final was almost the reverse of AO final 12 , been long time since Ive seen Djoker look that demoralised and almost sullen , that was what usually what happened to him in the old days..

    Also I dont think he quite minded so much Andy winning given thier friendship - unlike say Lord Fed whom both Murray and Djoker have clashed with ..

    With hardcourt season / US open Murray will surely have a shot now at being no 1..

    Fed is obviously decline and rafa ????

    who knows

    Very much like the asshat Pro/Anti trolls on the BBC comments section, although a little more tongue in cheek I think.

    Well they did invent the French kiss , though it might be a bit of a Glasgow kiss as well

    I see Maria as hired JIMMY CONNORS - so that should be fun ( Jimmy is no choir boy ) so maybe he'll get Maria trash talkin She-rena the next time they meet ?

    Djokovic did pick it up in the later sets, but for some reason I don't think he was on his proper form throughout. Still, Murray played really well, grats to him.
