Murray wasn't that ''tired'' but was quite clearly being outmanoeuvred regardless of shot quality by half way through the third even in like-for-like exchanges. It's hard not to see it. His movement style is harder to maintain at 100% efficiency throughout a match.
Murray's forehand is too flat and it lacks enough margin of error to be consistently dangerous or reliable. It's not exactly super easy for him to just decide to impart more spin on the ball either. he does not have explosive stroke mechanics relatively to the likes of several other top players.
Murray's game is more suited to Wimbledon and the US Open. He was unlikely to win the battle of consistency and physicality against Djokovic at the AO due to the length of time Djokovic can maintain near maximal efficiency.
Murray also lacks the physicality to ever win the French Open and his shots are fodder. He has to play so outside of himself to be competitive against the best clay court players and it becomes infeasible over 5 sets.
