2015 Rogers Cup F: [1] Novak Djokovic vs. [2] Andy Murray

[GabeT]

If Djokovic loses this, it would be the worst possible start to his USO campaign. Playing all matches at the first Masters tuneup, only to not even win it, giving Murray belief in the process.

This comment is so dumb it makes little children cry

 

[csmoove899]

I believe Murray will be ranked #2 on Monday now.

 

[edberg volleys]

Nole was garbage all day with an injury yet Murray still could have blown the match

hahaahhaha. It was great match.

 

[TommyA8X]

He finally does it.
Congrats to Murray and his fans

No Cincy or USO for Djok.

Why exactly?

Awesome match

 

[Down_the_line]

It's also sort of fitting that, after Karlovic, Djokovic's other 3 losses this year have been to Murray, Federer and Wawrinka, 3 of the top 4 players, at least until Nishikori entered the top 4 this week.

 

[Tiger8]

Great win by Murray, as I said before it was only a matter of time. Great quality match, I'd say Djokovic wasn't at his best but Murray was supreme regardless. Great win for his confidence before the U.S. Open.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

great win. Nobody beats Murray 9 times in a row!

I'm sorry I made you cry.

 

[DjokoFan1987]

Congratulations to Murray for ending his losing streak against Djokovic 6-4 4-6 6-3! (From a Djoko fan, btw) Now things will get interesting come Cincinnati, as we see (obviously) whether Djokovic can finally win Cincinnati and who will be the No. 2 seed come the USO between Murray and Federer. Should be very interesting!

 

[tennis_pro]

Well, this pretty much puts Murray as the no 2 seed for the US Open unless he loses early in Cincinnati (QF or earlier) and Federer wins.

 

[Terenigma]

I still dont think this matchup is boring. I know alot of people joke about it and earlia in the year it was a bit one sided with several matches but when these two are both playing well, the rallies are great. Its fast paced, brutal tennis and i love it. Hopefully this result keeps them seperated for the US Open on either sides of the draw.

 

[NBP]

In 2013, the week Nadal went #2, he won Cincy. In 2014, the week Federer went #2, he won Shanghai, In 2015, the week Murray went #2, he won Montreal. How I remember this I'll never know...

Congrats to Murray, BLNT Djokovic

Finally!!!!!

What a match.. Murray so strong mentally in the third set. Why he didn't play like that in the third and fourth set of the AO 15 final

Anyway, congratulations Andy

 

[Peak Nadal]

Murray to win USO over mentally weak Novak

All in all though what a great match I hardly moved from the TV over those three hours and it's not often you can say that for one of their matches lately.

 

[mike danny]

Murray now is equal to Pete Sampras in masters titles.

 

[GabeT]

I'm sorry I made you cry.

I know, it's sooooo dumb!

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

Being completely neutral, this win is very good for tennis. Who would want to watch a US open with murray and djokovic in final if murray had lost again today?.. it would be nothing but pointless. At least now we have some solid foundation for hope for the match up in future.

 

[The_18th_Slam]

I know, it's sooooo dumb!

Don't cry. It is ok.

 

[jm1980]

Hats off to Murray, who played very well in the third set, specially on the big points.

Well deserved win and about damn time

GOAT Show and GOAT scene

to me the 2nd best scene. When Martin was sick episode was epic. Mamma bisquits and the thermometer taking his temperature.

 

[Deleted member 3771]

Bjorkman the master coach.

 

[DjokoFan1987]

No Cincy or USO for Djok.

Actually, I would argue that this Montreal loss will actually help Djokovic, because every time he's won Montreal, he's either lost early in Cincy or lost badly in the final due to perhaps pressure from winning Canada the week prior. Now Djoko will no longer have that pressure, both from the Masters 1000 standpoint and from the continuous win streak against Murray. Djokovic will have less pressure knowing he won't have had won the previous 5 Masters titles.

 

[TommyA8X]

I believe Murray will be ranked #2 on Monday now.

He will, but If Fed wins Cincy he'll be the 2nd seed for the USO...

 

[Russeljones]

35th career title as well.

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Tennis has been saved for the 4th time this year.

It was also saved on June 3rd. So make it five times.

 

[swordtennis]

It is ok @GabeT. He battled hard and his forehand is looking the best I have seen in a couple years. really cracking it. His game depends on it.

 

[AngieB]

But, #Novak's elbow hurt. Really, really bad. And he smelled pot in the air.

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

Commiserations to Djokovic fans

Good win that for Andy. Commiserations to Nole's fans.

Jesus Christ! Really? There is no need for commiserations. This loss is not that big of a deal for Djokovic, and it shouldn't be for his fans. Plus, he's won Montreal before.

Take the positives from this loss Djokovic fans. That's all you really need to do. **** the commiserations.

 

[MichaelNadal]

If only Lendl would come back.

This is what Federer kept telling himself after failing to beat Nadal at the FO. It was good because it made him win the USO.. The bolded part was too clever for me to draw a parallel with, however.

 

[norbac]

Hope Nole wins Cinci now.

 

[RS92]

This is a sad day for butthurt99

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Fair play to Murray a well deserved victory. Novak still had a great tournament and will bounce back. These two are the big favourites for this years U.S. open

 

[GabeT]

Don't cry. It is ok.

Ok,just stop posting dumb comments and we'll be happy

 

[AngieB]

Maybe Novak should play in Cincy to work-out that elbow problem. It looked like he was really, really hurting. He kept grabbing at it, so I know it hurt him. Really.

 

[Backhanded Compliment]

1. Most impressive about the victory was all those breakpoints he saved in the 3rd showed great mental fortitude

True... that clutch serving and play. Andy needs that to win championship matches. Good job today.

 

[csmoove899]

He will, but If Fed wins Cincy he'll be the 2nd seed for the USO...

Yeah but Fed has to win Cincy to be the 2 seed.

 

[Inanimate_object]

Sweet jesus, that's one suggestive runner-up trophy...

 

[AngieB]

Is there some form of holistic elbow replacement Novak can get before the US Open?

 

[swordtennis]

If anyone can get the trophy cermony please post it. I missed it. Thank you.

 

[HewittAlwaysDisappoints]

Where is Mainad?

While others may hide after a bad loss, he hides after a great win?

 

[marc45]

Eh he cant win everything .. plus murray can never seem to last against novak in a best of 5 match

Most impressive about the victory was all those breakpoints he saved in the 3rd showed great mental fortitude

9/9 break points saved against Novak in the third, bet that's never been done...helps to get a big first serve in

 

[Terenigma]

[zagor]

Yeah, how many did he save in this 3d set? 9,10? Didn't see him be this clutch with his serve for a long time.

 

[ST_spitzertelescope]

I thought canadians spoke english? Apparently french?
