Andy got trolled by a feather.
Sounds like Murray needs to get in his corner with a good blister man, either that or he couldn't play through the pain.Well matches between these two are always going to be very tough and close (and usually boring), Murray's blisters in the third set definitely hindered his level of play for the rest of the match and that was enough for Djokovic to blow him out. Before that it was a close match.

Would someone sum up what happened in broad strokes please? Did Novak simply dominate him physically? Was Andy beaten before he took the court?

So the draw and how it played out was again a decisive factor?Djokovic played better and conserved over the whole tournament.
I hope The Bawss has included that in his excuses thread.
I think the match was practically over at that stage, feather or no feather.
I just want to know if Murray brought any fight, that's all.
Was he smug towards Djokovic and how long, or was he rather petulant towards the whole situation? That's all I need to know about Andy's buttons for my purposes.
Murray did not have the energy. Probably due to the difference in their semi final matches.
Feather from the Swiss Golden Eagle
AND
Injury weakening his movements.
Oh man the horror. Adidas will have to change the name of their lightweight shoe or Murray's going to break out in a screaming frenzy whenever they give him a catalogue.
Funny how Murray was tired after his semi with Fed but Lance wasn't the least bit tired after his marathon with Stan in the 4th round. There is definitely something rotten going on in Serbia.
Murray stopping during his service motion to get rid of a feather shows what kind of mentality this guy has. It's not like the whole damn bird fell out of the sky.
Right?
I mean sure Murray had the foot blister issue, but honestly, he looked tired too that match.
how in the world is the guy with the easiest draw and yeah , he went 5 sets with Fed, but I dont think it was a physical match...how in the world is he tired after 2 sets?
Weird.
I wonder if Federer makes you have to sprint and change direction harder within rallies due to all those nasty angles and variety?
Although it wasn't the longest 5 setter, Murray said it felt really tough.
fair enough.
man, djoker really owes an assist to Fed.
Andy lost to a feather dropped from a Swiss Eagle called featherer. Later Federer appeared in Rolex ads to haunt him. :twisted:
Well played. But not sure about that avatar.Well we know why you watched the final then, just like how NSK watched it for the KIA ads featuring Nadal. ;-)

Ddn't see all of the match but from what I could tell the first 2 sets were very tight (well, they both went to tie-breakers so that's a bit obvious). Murray seemed the better player for most of the first 2 sets but his level noticeably started to drop towards the end of the 2nd. In the 2nd set breaker, there was a bizarre incident with a falling feather that I think he let distract him as he was about to serve at 2-2 because he then double-faulted to hand Djokovic the mini-break which he then held onto.
After Djokovic had levelled at 1 set all, Murray took an MTO to get his foot bandaged. It looked very blistered. After that, his movement noticeably slowed and seemed hampered and his groundstrokes declined in quality. His serve held good for the most part but eventually that too cracked and Djokovic got the vital break in the 7th game of the 3rd set. He never looked back after that and upped his level to take the 4th and the match.
In short, Murray had definite chances in the first 2 sets but his movement and level rapidly deteriorated after that. In a reversal of the US Open final, Djokovic definitely outlasted Murray in the fitness stakes. With these 2, it very often becomes a test of stamina in the end. Murray won the last contest, Djokovic won this one. Deservedly so.

He wasn't as petulant as usual, but he certainly wanted to make it clear to everybody in the building that he was suffering, poor thing.
That pretty much sums up the whole match.Andy got trolled by a feather.
