Australian Open 2015 Final: Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murray

[The_Order]

Novak 5 titles at AO, unbelievable in this era!

He's had to do it the hard way beating the likes of Federer, Nadal, Murray and on fire Wawrinka.

No one defends like him on a slow hard court, nobody!

 

[sbengte]

my god. novak is a mental giant.

was absolutely convinced novak would lose up until the end of the 3rd set.

It seems like Novak's only problem in a GS final now is Nadal. He can handle everyone else.

 

[Sysyphus]

125downthemiddle - SURELY this answers your question on who is the better athlete at least for tennis. It's pretty clear (as in it's not that close really).

Is he really being defeated on athletic ability though? I don't see that.

 

[llodra_fan]

Murray is a bigger version of Hewitt

Nope ! Hewitt never gave up a single match in his prime, always fought to the end. He actually had lesser weapon than Murray and the opponent had to be on top form to beat him.

 

[Legend of Borg]

the drama

the action

the bagel

 

[NatF]

He's got the complete package.

Who will halt The Omnipotence??

Even his impotence is a weapon to lower the intensity of his opponents.

Truly the most complete player of all time.

 

[RF20Lennon]

Murray will never beat Djokovic till he stops lobbing.

 

[racquetreligion]

LOVELY!

 

[abmk]

Djokovic has demonstrated such a vast array of skills in this match notwithstanding his acting skills.

Let's face it, the dude is an awesome playa.

LOL

10 chars ...

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Novak plays like his 2011 incarnation when he's not under pressure...no fear. :shock:

I prefer his 2015 incarnation.

I feel this will be justified by the end of the year.

 

[speedysteve]

Disgusting sportsmanship from the Serb. I'm out. Tennis died today.

I'm not sure why? The thumb, the ankle or what?
You have to play the ball... Murray failed to do that.
Djok will win.

 

[marc45]

worst lobbing match ever from Murray...all we hear is how hard he works, needs to play smarter, not harder

 

[Raul_SJ]

Disgusting sportsmanship from the Serb. I'm out. Tennis died today.

I missed the match... What did he do?

 

[SpinToWin]

How many unforced errors has Murray hit in this set? 20?

 

[RF-18]

Who was tougher for Djokovic, Waw or Murray? But don't just base it on the sets.

 

[Mustard]

2 CPs Djokovic.

 

[Algo]

I got 4 sets right at least :lol:

 

[La Grande]

Championship point

Watch the fakeness in the speech

 

[racquetreligion]

More

for Muzza

 

[KingKyrgios]

Fully deserved win for Novak ,congrats i suspect a 2011 type of year for him.

 

[JohnnyMac Fan!]

Should the tour be worried now? Who's going to stop Djokovic?

He seem the least susceptible to early round upsets and upsets by lower ranked player.

Scary to say the least!

Still too early in the season to tell how long Djoker will keep this form.

 

[stringertom]

Tap-out challenge by Murray. Djok to win 12 of the last 13 games for this historic 5th AO title.

 

[SpinToWin]

I missed the match... What did he do?

Pretend to be injured?

 

[HewittAlwaysDisappoints]

Game, set and match Djokovic!

Great from Djokovic, atrocious meltdown from Murray

 

[Deleted member 77403]

Djokovic wins!!!!!!!!!

8 slams!!!!!!

 

[Cosmic_Colin]

When Murray went 2-0 up at the beginning of the 3rd, who could have known he'd only win 1 more game all match.

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

What's unbelievable is Fred Willard said 15 minutes ago that Murray needs to pull it together as he's CLEARLY a better athlete and physical specimen with superior "physicality"...it really seems that the crowd, commentators etc. hate on Novak a lot which makes me root for him even more.

Novak is much more fluid in the rallies, yes...just a better mover...Murray's movement is harsher and doesn't flow with his strokes as much.

Exactly.

It's just easier and more sustainable for Djokovic. He's just better suited.

He's a near perfect athletic archetype for tennis. Murray isn't.

6 -

bagel set

 

[SLD76]

more dinner plates for the English Queen, well done Muzza!!!!

Tax Vampire Elizabeth: a cuppa tea with that young Scot??
Muzza: I am a Britt your highness
Tax Vampire Elizabeth: Oh we know but only when you win young man!

Poast of the day

 

[RF-18]

Congratulation Novak Djokovic!

 

[speedysteve]

Well done Djok. I enjoyed the match.

 

[La Grande]

Quick handshake haha

 

[FudgeMyn]

jesus murray why do all this yelling if your just gonna lay down like that.
now he made kim look like a fool

 

[Rozroz]

this was a big let down. poor Muzza.

 

[Sentinel]

King of Australia !!!!!

 

[Deleted member 716271]

Djoko enthralled...the King of AO


Murray systematically smashing racquets

 

[FreeBird]

No love for FreeBird.

Unbelievable.

I repeat it again:

You need to bow down to this TT oracle.

I called it out before the match,

There will be a bagel in today's final.

I charge $1000 for revealing the winning lottery ticket numbers btw. 8)

 

[abmk]

Congrats to Djokovic. Some pretty good play and mental strength ...

pathetic from murray in the 2nd half of the match after some good stuff in the first half ....

 

[RF-18]

Murray with a cold handshake.

 

[jackknifeslice]

Shoulda ripped it off

 

[SLD76]

When Murray went 2-0 up at the beginning of the 3rd, who could have known he'd only win 1 more game all match.

Reminds me of the sharapova Azarenka final. Maria didn't win another game after she won her third gsme.in the first set.

 

[sbengte]

The last two sets were a disappointment. Said it before, Nadal in the final would have made it a lot more exciting.

 

[penguin]

terrible crowd screaming in last point- not that murray was gonna win but still.

 

[Strange Bird]

That handshake LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[powerangle]

he did it! #5 baby!!

 

[Rafaisdabest]

Murray had his chances in that 3rd set got himself to blame

 

[speedysteve]

Will the shorts come off too?

 

[Kirijax]

Woo Hoo!!! How's that coaching change working out for you Murray? LOL

 

[oztennisfan]

come back ivan.......

 

[Nathaniel_Near]

Look I've crapped on Djokovic time and time again on this forum saying this saying that...

Djokovic is a special player.

He's special.
