his movement definitely slowed down by the start of the 3rd set...
Murray was gubbed by the start of the second set tie break which he practically threw away like the feather.
Murray lost the final before the final when Federer took him to two unnecessary extra tie break sets.
I thought at the time, and I also think Murray thought from his comments I'll try to recover for the final, that was the end of the road for him.
Murray will never get fitter and stronger than he is now so I think he needs an even or more favourable draw than his main rivals to beat them but I think that might be the case for his rivals. That's how close they are.
Apart from the odd occasion, Murray has always had less days rest. When he gets the favoured scheduling, guess what? Murray wins. We will see in time if the correlation is true because Murray has hardly ever had the extra days rest apart from USO and surprise surprise look what happened there.
At USO Murray had the extra rest - Murray won.
At AO Djokovic had the extra rest - Djokovic won.
That's all it seems to takes to swing the balance between these two.
All this sh*te about wind is just that - sh*te.
Murray took Djokovic to a close 5 sets at last year's AO, straight setted him at the Olympics, beat him at USO and had 4 match points to finish him off in the Shanghai final.
Nuff said.
