Murray got totally Serbed
Đoković has his second fluke GS win. I still hate him and proud of it.™
....in terms of the time wasted.Yes,indeed
Djokvic-Nadal final at the FO.
Can I get a witness?
That was a really poor showing from Murray.
Did he even WANT it ??
Djoker to overtake Freddy for #2 soon.
I can see that as well... a replay of their 2009 Madrid SF
Djokovic's movement is unbelievable. His serve and forehand were beautiful today, hope we see a Djoker Nadal french open final.
Murray is the Natalie Tauziat of mens tennis. His talent level is about on par with hers and when Murray plays Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic he looks like Tauziat playing Graf or Seles. The only difference is she made only 1 fluke slam final and he somehow made 3 to embarass himself each time.
Interesting comparison! Still, I do think Murray will eventually win IF he adds other weapons to his game ASAP.
Agreed; he's really turned into a very intelligent player pushing his physical gifts to the limit, as seen in the semis and the final. He deserved and truly earned the title. Now, as much as I would want to see Ndal repeat at the USO in the fall, I would love to see Djokovic cut and blast through the field to take that title.
I said it before the final: Djokovic in 3.
Murray had a cakewalk draw with an imploding Dolgopolov and a limited Ferrer, and he still dropped sets in those matches.
When I watched the Dolgo match, I couldn't believe Murray made it so difficult for himself. Now Dolgo is a great player, but that match was horrible for him. I was amazed that he even got a set off Murray with such a terrible performance and the way he was piling up UEs (+70). It was the match too much for him after a dream run and yet Murray couldn't even straightset him.
Same applies for Ferrer, an incredibly brave player, but limited in his potential. Again Murray dropped a set and needed two tiebreaks (which are obviously not Ferrer's speciality) to finish off the job.
Watching Djoko on the other side of the draw playing very well, it was kind of logical that the final would turn out this way.
Congrats to the Serb for an excellent performance in the final! I think he had some pressure and couldn't even find his best game as a consequence of that, but he played in a very intelligent way. If he gets to more finals, we might really see him open up, now the pressure of winning multiple GS has fallen off his shoulders.
Hmm, seems it was good that I didn't wake up early for this match. Did Murray shed tears again at the end?
2009 Monte Carlo or 2009 Rome would be better. Nadal and Djokovic were ruined for months after their 2009 Madrid match.
Hamburg 2008 was their best clay match. Nadal and Djokovic have had great matches on all surfaces like Queens and The Olympics.
He doesn't possess that burning fire of desire for a major
He's only got another 4-5 good years to win a HC slam... that's another 8-10 total max tries for him. He'd better figure out why he's playing tennis, quickly.
That's my prediction as well... Look for Djokovic at #2 by the 2011 WTF. IMO, if Fed fails to make the SF at Wimby this year his chance at Olympic gold in 2012 on grass is pretty much dead as well.
Yes, 2008 Hamburg as well. Nadal and Djokovic is a very underrated rivalry because Nadal and Federer is so huge.

And a double handed forehand.Murray needs to use a bigger head racket...
I haven't seen that one, but I remember their semi final in Madrid in 2009 and almost chewing my fingers off with the tension. I really hope Djokovic can make some deep runs on clay this year, their matches are pretty exciting.
Haha the journos were teasing him about Ana after the semis.Is it safe to say that Novak can have any women in Serbia right now ?
For it to really count, he has to beat Nole in 3 sets. For Nole is the reeeal GOAT.Not to diminish Nole's achievement, but if Murray somehow manages to win wimbledon I'd say that <<<<<<<< 2 Australian Opens.
TT user Djoker joins Satch in the post-voters club.
Wow, you really are serious about this
Haha the journos were teasing him about Ana after the semis.
Q. I know for sure that Ana Ivanovic has a crush on Roger.
Nole: Really? Was she sitting in my box?
Tennis has not supplied enough entertainment this AO edition, so I have to get my kicks from trolling. Sad, isn't it?
Their 2008 Hamburg match was a semi final. Nadal had won Monte Carlo and Barcelona that year, but had lost to Ferrero in Rome. Djokovic, having won the Australian Open and Indian Wells that year, had also won Rome after Nadal's early exit and Federer's surprising loss to Stepanek in the quarter finals. If Djokovic had beaten Nadal in their 2008 Hamburg match, he would have gone above Nadal in the world rankings to number 2. Nadal won an epic match 7-5, 2-6, 6-2 and went on to win Hamburg, the French Open, Queen's Club, Wimbledon, Toronto and the Olympics to go above Federer and become world number 1.
What an amazing display by Djokovic. He totally blew Murray off the court. His serve has improved so much from last year and he is back to his best. I have long said that Djokovic is the best hard court player behind Federer and as usual the Natards didn't agree. Now Djoker has as many slams on hard as Nadal and he will spank Nadal on hardcourt in the coming years. I am glad the the ownership of Hardcourts has been tranferred from Fed to Djoker. There is no more deserving candidate in terms of talent.
I thought I would feel sorry for Murray but I didn't. He totally deserved that thrashing he got. Until he learns to grow some brains and not be so damn passive, he won't win a slam. I guess he will have to learn the hard way.
I hope Fed and Djoker can dominate 2011, two of the more agressive players with attacking games. Nadal is a bore outside of clay for me and Murray is a bore almost anywhere. I hope Djoker will stay focused and provide great entertainment when Fed retires.
Congrats to all Djoker fans and those who called him "One slam wonder" can eat some humble pie.
