You could argue this back and forth.
Djokovic avoided a tough match in the sun when Troicki retired after one set.
Take it that doesn't count in your winning by default logic?
Your hatred of Murray is really clouding your view.
I see you're from little England.

While I'm a little disappointed with the outcome, I pray to god this new improved Djokovic is a permanent one. I don't mind rooting for him if he plays like that all the time.

It's extra quiet around here, because *******s AND *******s have been forced to eat humble pie. The classy Federer and Nadal fans don't need to constantly be saying how their player is God. These guys play on a very elite level, and on any given day, anyone can lose. Kudos to Federer and Nadal that they have managed to do what they have done, despite the strains of being expected to perform day in and day out.

Djokovic's form is really impressive and looks to be tough to beat. But beating Federer is one thing and beating Murray is a whole different story.

I would wait before I start my celebration, if I were you.

Don't get your hopes too high yourself either. If Murray plays the way he played vs Dolgolonopov and Ferrer plays the way he played vs Nadal, Murray is in trouble.

I have to say, you're on the money with this one.

That said 2. Novak is playing great, from both wings, with determination. As it stands, he thoroughly deserves to win it.
I wanted to reply but the thread was deleted.
Djokovic is unbeatable here since 2008 and with unbeatable I mean only against the players. He's still vulnarable against the heat and some flu's.

I still can't figure out who's failure I enjoy the most. Today I will enjoy Federer's and compare it with Nadal's from yesterday.

Here's an interesting fact -- Murray has beaten Djokovic the last three times they played.

Well I don't know about you but I thought Dolgolonopov gave Murray quite a scare. He already had his first test, he's about to get another one.

Muppet.


He played the world #48 who beat Stepanek, Agassi, and Grosjean on his way to the final.


He also played Roddick who was the 5 seed. Schalken who was the 8 seed. Both who were/are absurdly good players on grass. He also played Mardy Fish and Felciano Lopez, both who are also really good on grass. Just remember, do your homework before trying to compare this slam to Murray's current potential slam, which has been filled with hacks other than Melzer, who flat out didn't even play anywhere close to his potential, and Dolgopolov, who is a rookie, and although potentially dangerous, really shouldn't be a threat to Murray if Murray is as good as you and others say he is.

Notice how in years past that Federer has won Cincinnati despite the fact that historically he has done pretty poorly at that tournament? If you discount his horrible 2008 performance against Karlovic, he has won 3 out of 4, beating very tough opponents on his way to the title. And this is a title that is notorious for top players tanking. Why then does Federer play hard here? Because it is right before the USO, and he wants to tune his game up.



Stark contrast to say IW and Miami, although important tournaments, are not followed up by a slam. Federer historically used to dominate those tournaments, and no longer does.


Djokovic's win is impressive because he straight up man handled a Federer who wasn't playing poorly at all. In fact, Federer was playing as well as he could considering the circumstances.

Actually, you are right. Forgot about that match. Dolgo was all over the place during that match, but Murray played really well too.

An interesting observation and well supported. However, I think we all know the REAL reason for his Cincinatti dominance is that, being an avid reader of the TT forums, once he realized Cincinatti was in the the REAL slam, he decided he would win it every year because 20 > 8

Your absolutely right, Federer is much harder to beat. And Murray still has to beat Ferrer.

I am not even a Federer fan and I will say this is a ******** thread. If Djokovic were "unbeatable" in Australia he would have more than 1 title now. And even if he wins a 2nd this year he still would be far from unbeatable. Unbeatable is someone who wins 5 or 6 titles maybe.

Finally we agree on something.

And finally we can settle your petty shadowing of me on this forum, with a 3 set beat down from Andrew Murray.
