Come on Murray. Keep it up!

Fed seems to have kicked on a bit in the fourth :(

Not exactly surprising.


Can see Djokovic beating Murray fairly easily, Murray needs to up his game a lot. His serve won't be half as effective against Djokovic as it was against Federer.

It was a perfect 'warm up game' for Murray or Fed to be honest before the final. Especially for Murray who has pretty much walked into the semi's with little trouble.

Federer really is half the player he was a few years ago, expected Murray to beat him easier tbh. Djokovic has been outstanding recently and would expect him to win, but can see Murray pulling this off.

He still reads the game better than most players and that gives him a decent advantage. He's not the player he used to be but he's still one of the best there is.

Fed, Nadal, Djokovic and now Murray are the elite by some margin but I expect Del Potro to make that group soon enough.

This. And the scary thing is he is still number 2 in the world. He still took Murray to 5 sets. He can still beat anyone on his day.

This, plus all the papers are saying how Murray destroyed Federer and this could end his career. <doh> From what I saw yesterday Federer was timing the ball poorly, that is not something that particularly diminishes with age. Even so he still took Murray to five sets. How you can Federer was 'destroyed' in a five set match is beyond me <disgrace>

Got my alarm set for tomorrow morning. Haven't really been keeping up with the Australian Open because of work, although I caught the final set of the Murray v Federer match.

To be only seen the final set of the Djokovic v Wawinkra match and in the womens a little bit of one of Sharapova's matches.

I love how the BBC imply that if Murray was losing that they'd switch over to 'The Big Questions'.

Murray is such an annoying little tart, with his moaning.

Djokovic needs to cut out the unforced errors despite winning that 3rd set.
