Ok - I've thought about it. And I'm going to have to say:
Djokovic in 3: 7-5, 3-6, 6-2

Djokovic in 3.
Man are people still trying to push the whole boring pong thing when it comes to this match up? You do realise that tennis has been two guys just trying to beat each other from the baseline and playing more or less the same way for years now? Murray and Djokovic have solid defensive skills so normally it just goes on for a little longer.

Not sure ill even watch this match just to be polite since I support Andy. Instead of watching a quite boring match I rather play myself here outside in the sun. I don't think andy is focused enough to win it. Game wise he can win, but mentality not there i would think.
Lets hope for some obnoxious attitude from these two gentlemen to spice up the match a bit.

Do we need a thread for this? The only person that could have stopped Djokovic was compromised by yesterday's schedule.
As soon as Murray falls behind tomorrow, all his physical woes will be on display.
You won't see any similarity with the player who just beat Goffin, Gasquet and Ferrer.
All the bravado that has been on display this week, will simply evaporate. Poof!

Djokovic in 3. It won't be easy. Murray will give great challenge with fair chance to win.

Amazed you both think Nole takes 3. The Stan warmup has Nole in top form now. Murray has been good this week, but he'll have to play his best match to have a chance at this.

I'm accounting for a slow start and slight 2nd set dip by Djokovic - similar to Miami final

That doesn't mean this matchup is more interesting than watching the paint dry.
you're right, same people were waiting for rafa in the finals and they're still waiting, lol.Obligatory Murrovic borefest gif:

(j/k, no sane person in their right mind can enjoy this match)
too bad rafa will be so bored to death on his flight to london rather than actually playing in the final. but like gary said, he threw the match!!!

Isn't that the truth? It is such a shame that if Federer can't stop Djokovic, nobody can. They all just fold against him. Getting bageled in deciding set.

This will be great just to see if Murray has enough game to make a move next year. A good Murray Nole match is epic. Murray mailing it in/feeling sorry for himself; that's boring.
Nole versus Berdy yesterday. That was like watching paint dry.

That's special isn't it? What do you expect from Stan though? He isn't a Nadal type player when it comes to fighting spirit. You have to hand it to Djokovic though, no matter what happens, he keeps on keeping on and knows his consistency will win the day 9 times out of 10.
been lurkin for a while ****s boring lol
Yeah, I feel you. Thank God, just a couple of weeks left. Can't wait to put this season behind.

What were the circumstances when Murray upset Djokovic at Canada earlier in the year? How did that happen? I didn't get a chance to see any of the tournament back then.

Nothing much - Novak played ok through the tournament and had to save match points against Gulbis in the QF. Murray didn't drop a set on the way to the final

I just hope this match is more competitive than their last match.

One doesn't beat Djokovik. Nole, every so often, allows someone to win as a sign that he can be a magnanimous overlord.
Murray won the first, lost the second, and wobbled through the third. I think Djokovic had a couple of close matches prior to the final. Actually, Gulbis had match point in his first or second match.

Whoever wins one thing is certain. The crybabies that hate their duels will not like any outcome.

Where's the guy who thinks Murrovic is Simon-Monfils on steroids?

Here I am. I said it.
This time, I doubt we'll see a Murrovic classic - the difference in their current levels is way too big. 6-2, 6-3 Djokovic, or something along those lines.
I start to think that it will be advantageous to be seeded in the same group with Djokovic at the WTF. Everyone else is beatable, and you are guaranteed not to face Djokovic in the semis.

Going with Djokovic in 2 easy sets. But like others, I won't be watching this. I'll only watch the highlights.
It's much more efficient timewise to see 5 minutes of repetitive long rallies and then be shown the final score -- than to watch two hours of rallies that look like a repeating GIF -- to see the same final score.

Djokovic is looking good. Losing a set against Stanimal woke him up and helped him to switch gears. Of course Murray can beat him, but Andy has to play aggressive and needs a good 1st serve percentage.
I think Nole wins in 3. 6-4 3-6 6-2.

If Murray unleashes the BH DTL then he has a chance. Probably he'll do endless CC drills though, and rant all day to his box.

Djokoray has been the story of this year on hard court. Paris is the 8th tier 1 played on the surface and Djoko/Murray have duked it out 6 times out of the 8 (AO, IW, Miami, Canada, Shanghai and now Paris. The only 2 missing are Cincy and USO). It's been THE primary hard court rivalry this season (followed by Djokerer: 4 encounters: Dubai, IW, Cincy and USO).
Can Murray snatch another 1000 victory against the master (rivalry has been pretty one-sided so far)?
Pro: Djoko's got to be a tad tired after his extraordinary season (and he looks it).
Con: Djoko is a better indoor player than Murray
Note that Fed and Murray are the only 2 players who've been able to beat Djoko in tier 1 on hard this season, so a Murrovic or Fedovic final is the best we could hope for in terms of competitiveness.
Regardless of final outcome, Djoko hasn't ceased to amaze. 14th consecutive final is just mindboggling. He's trying for some heavyweight record breaking with this final too: most master titles won in a season (6) and most tier 1 events won in a season (9). One got to be impressed that he is even in a position to do so.
Will he crack under the pressure? Answer tomorrow.

Not quite true, is it? Murray stopped him in Montreal, so its not beyond the bounds of possibility for him to do it again so long as he plays his best game!
