This man bageled two of the top 10 to win the Aussie open lol. Goat candidate for sure. Could be another tennis god/religious experience type situation
 
Congratulations are in order to Djokovic' fans. He is the more complete player on this court and just has an insane defense on it.

I felt Murray could have done more. Was disappointing to see his FH implode like that in the 4th.

5th AO title. Well done.

Thank you!
 
Eurosport commentator said something like "Murray is systematically going through his raquets and smashing them, as Djokovic receives applause".

Anyone got pics?

2 things concern me about Murray:

I get the feeling there is a very thin line between him being brilliant and falling apart completely

Well, at least I got one thing right...

Seriously though, that was spectacular, even by his standards. What on earth happened? Can't even blame a random feather...

Wouldn't mind seeing Djokovic win the French now, just to see someone have the chance at the Grand Slam.

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

I really believe so. Murray was able to keep up his intensity of movement and lateral recovery for about 2.5 hours but he couldn't sustain it. It became clear half way through set 3 that even when Murray was hitting more accurate shots he was having to work too hard to recover to neutral enough positions while Djokovic was in the groove effortlessly reaching almost every ball. Interestingly, Djokovic's movement in set 1 was questionable but by set 2 onwards it was outstanding and he can sustain it for 4/5/6 hours.

Murray can only equal Djokovic in terms of not giving up ground on the baseline for about 3 hours.

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!

Agree.
Oh.My.God Novak. What a way to win the final!! Another bagel! Unreal.
Novak has never looked more unbeatable at AO.
Congrats. 5th title. He truly deserves that record. Wow.
 
Well done Nole! Match reminded me of the US open match last year, 2 tiebreaks either way and then Novak ran away with it.

Thought Murray would win but seems the gap has really opened up between them now.

Find it a bit ironic all the talk of Djokovic acting tired and Murray being annoyed - hasn't Murray done this all his career and didn't he just tweet a week ago about being annoyed at being doubted? Pot, kettle black?

You need to bow down to this TT oracle.

I called it out before the match,

I predicted Fog winning the AO which makes me Ellison.

Good analysis. Rubber band man wins

I can taste the disappointment from Andrew Castle :lol:

All right he's not the most complete player ever, but let's be honest - Djokovic is The Omnipotence of the tour.

Still, I agree it's better to take the huge devastating forehands and more imbalanced games of Nadal or Federer over Djokovic.

Djokovic might be able to challenge this notion though over the next few years.

Djoker is a more fluid mover...it also helps that he isn't lugging around tree trunk legs corner to corner like murray.
 
finally djokovic is the GOAT of his own slam. Yessssss. Im so happy at this moment. 8 grand slam titles is a great achievement. Roland garros here we come!!
 
What a horrible end to a decent match. The first set was terrific. Murray
just gave up after the 3rd set. Pathetic attitude from him. He is still a loser mentally without Lendl. I overestimated his hunger.

Djokovic is lucky he even got a handshake after all the theatrics.

He's the complete opposite of Federer on court-so I don't get how a Federer fan is so passionate about Djokovic!

Yes, Novak is very solid. Very reliable strokes - if not overwhelming. We both agree about the Nadal/Federer games being superior when on due to the GOAT forehands.

We'll see what happens, I think Novak will get 2 slams and end the year #1.
 
Also, for the first time I will officially rate Djokovic above Agassi. 8 slams, every other metric Djokovic has achieved > Everything Agassi has achieved.
