We all know how this story ends.

 

[The Green Mile]

The final is set! Some people love this match up, while others despise it.
Murray and Djokovic will battle for the 31st time in their Careers.
Novak leads the H2H 21-9, and 4-0 in AO matches. 3 of those in Finals.
Novak gunning for his 11th Major and 6th AO, while Andy tries to win his 3rd Major.

May the best man win!...

* Schedule not out yet, but I'm assuming it will be 7:30 pm Sunday, local time. Will change if wrong.

[HewittAlwaysDisappoints]

God damn you are fast

 

[The Green Mile]

And all of a sudden there are 5 threads, lol. We really should nominate people for important matches. Or just volunteer first.

 

[Anti-Fedal]

Thread title should be renamed Pong ND vs Pong AM.

Pong ND in straights is my pick.

 

[RF-18]

It's their 31th meeting ever with Djokovic leading the h2h 21-9. They've met three times before in the final in Melbourne with Djokovic prevailing in all three, this will be their fourth meeting.
Who wins?

 

[gn]

Novak in 4 hours

 

[Apun94]

This is not even close. Nole in 3, max in 4

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Should be great match! Murray won't be easy but djoko the heavy weight champion in 4 sets

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Lots of threads so fast lol

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Four threads lol . I choose this one.

 

[RS92]

Why the poll? lol

Djokovic in straight sets

 

[Crionics]

****** yawn ******

I will be cleaning my flat on Sunday morning I guess...

Djokovic in 3 or 4. Duh!

 

[The Green Mile]

As usual, Novak in 4.

 

[ShahofTennis]

Nole vs Andy again... how gauche. Andy in 5.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Mumm-Ra for the surprise win is my bet. In 5 painful sets.

 

[Deleted member 716271]

As usual, Novak in 4.

I concur. Andy to weep after the match.

 

[Noleberic123]

Djokovic in 3 or 4

 

[gn]

I am gonna do whatever I can to avoid watching this match.

 

[Boom-Boom]

Mumm-Ra for the surprise win is my bet. In 5 painful sets.

Same - the Muzziah in 5

 

[Adv. Edberg]

Will be a snooze fest. Djoko will win of course.

 

[Sysyphus]

The Muzziah in 5

 

[Terenigma]

Murray in straight sets. 7-6 7-5 6-3

Djokovic to turn up like he did against Simon but he play against the papa version and Murray flies home an australian open champion to put his new born baby in the cup and hold it aloft in triumph!

...but seriously, Murray needs to be in GOD mode to stand a chance. Novak in 3-4

 

[Deleted member 77403]

OK, whats happens if Kim goes into labour before the match?

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

These two play the most boring tennis when they face each other. Anyway, Novak in 4. Murray will probably try and bring that aggression and end up donating unforced errors to Djokovic, who'll happily take them.

 

[RF-18]

Seems like you were first.

Hope Mods delete the other threads, we cannot have 5 different match threads on the same match. Someone should report to them.

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Djoko in 4 tough sets! 6th AO title and 11th major incoming

 

[Levi_Ackerman]

Murray in straight sets. 7-6 7-5 6-3

Djokovic to turn up like he did against Simon but he play against the papa version and Murray flies home an australian open champion to put his new born baby in the cup and hold it aloft in triumph!

Or...he could turn up like he did against Roger in the SF...or....like he did against Rafa in Doha earlier this year...or... like he did against Murray in Shanghai last year.

 

[Deleted member 716271]

People who think Murrray is gonna win....lol

 

[joekapa]

Who knows. Maybe Murray can pull a "Buster Douglas".

It's just a TW thing, lol...

The pusher has nothing on serbian shotmaker.

I'm sorry Andy, but Novak has one of the best offensive games of all time. Of ALL TIME.

Which is our official thread?

 

[jaggy]

Once more I will set the alarm for 3am Sunday to watch Andy Murray in an Aus final, once more my Sunday will be a mess due to this. Once more I will regret it probably. Ah well.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Murray's fitness looks exceptional right now. What of his tennis? It looks pretty good, and so does Djokovic's.

I'm tempted to say that Murray will expose Djokovic's unwillingness this event to stick with it in long rallies (at this event), but will wait a while.

 

[Flint]

The dream final

 

[Chicharito]

Lol

Andy will have no legs for this. Absolute cakewalk for Murray and then an injured opponent in semis.

Djokovic's easiest opponent of the 19 he has played in Slam finals.


But who knows what will happen, hope Andy makes a match of this.

 

[RS92]

Djokovic in straight sets, hope I'm a 100 % wrong, but I don't see another result than Djokovic winning once again vs Murray in the AO Final

The final is set! Some people love this match up, while others despise it.
Murray and Djokovic will battle for the 31st time in their Careers.
Novak leads the H2H 21-9, and 4-0 in AO matches. 3 of those in Finals.
Novak gunning for his 11th Major and 6th AO, while Andy tries to win his 3rd Major.

May the best man win!...

Had the thread ready when Murray was 4-0 but it was going to be too soon. But I knew it that a second after the MP there were going to be like 5 threads already lol. Hope you can give Murray some luck

 

[Tennis_Hands]

Once more I will set the alarm for 3am Sunday to watch Andy Murray in an Aus final, once more my Sunday will be a mess due to this. Once more I will regret it probably. Ah well.

Take heart from the fact that he is giving himself another chance.

I wouldn't write him off.

He has a good chance.

Maybe the mods can merge them all into one. As long as the thread title is properly formatted I'm fine.
