I think it was a gamble. If he pulled it off, we would have been saying how brave of him, he didn't so looks like a brainfart.

What a match! We've seen some incredible athletes at these Olympics, but those two going toe-to-toe was special.
It was their first meeting on grass, but Murray looked the better player throughout. After their Australian Open semi earlier this year, it looks like it could be a nice little rivalry over the next few years.

ahhhhh... Well Murray played more agressive, and Djokovic didn't have the bottle serving to stay in the match. Didn't last time he lost in the olympics either. Murray was solid on break points and Djokovic nervy.
Hope Del Potro gets the bronze, Djokovic has one already and Del Potro put up a much better match than Djokovic

Ma solidno je servirao na turniru sve do danas kada mu je bilo najpotrebnije, jebiga. Mora da radi na servisu kolko god moze da bi imao sto duzu karijeru.

Can you or someone tell me how they decide who gets a bronze? I'm pretty confused about it.
Also, isn't murray guaranteed a silver since he's in the final?

Joker's forehand on grass is crap compared to the Sampras forehand.

He played really well, mate. Really clutch and he saved alot of break points in the second set. In the penultimate game he somehow managed to make a half volley winner from the baselines, whilst on his knees
He was aggressive throughout, you'd of been proud.
Both hit with solid stroke but Murray imposed more, and didn't falter

Don't know how else to put it Batz, he went toe to toe with Novak from the baseline, served better, returned better, volleyed better and was more clutch on big points.
On this kind of surface, an inform Murray is probably the worst possible opponent for Novak.

semi losers play for bronze, semi winners play for Gold and silver.

Can today's Djokovic still beat Federer at two match points down 5-3 in the fifth set, or even Tsonga after being four match points down?
The pressure got to him at the end. His service game has been stellar for the entire set (did he even go to deuce once?), only to go out like that. Been awhile since he's been to the final.
(I know my location says I am in London, but I'm not British and am here to study.)

Ne nista to nevalja, ako je servis toplo pa hladno.. Pogledaj bilo koji njegov ceo mec iz 2008, tako se servira, konstantno i sa brzim izbacajem, a ne ovo ganjanje s loptom.
Makar je zapamtio kako da baca loptu u vazduh za razliku od Ane..

Does Federer anyway guarantees the no 1 ranking for at least one more week no matter what happens in the final ?

Djokovic isn't good on surfaces that have the ball staying low. His forehand does better on higher balls. Murray can wail at the low balls, but Djokovic can't wail - only angle.

I agree that Andy can bother Nole at times. Sounds like he played well today and maybe Nole not 100 per cent. If he can beat Rog on sunday it could be massive for him.

Nice olympic spirit at the end with an embrace at the net. Great win for Murray and good sportsmanship from Djokovic.
Yes, at worst he'd be 75 points ahead of Djokovic after Toronto.

I like Murray on grass. He was mighty impressive today. I won't be surprised with a rather convincing win against Federer in the final.
Djokovic obviously didn't care, otherwise he'd have won easily.
Every single facet of the game, Djokovic does quite a lot better than Murray, except the forehand, which is 1000x better.
Oh, and, if this match went 5, Murray would have eaten triple bagels.
But, still I hate Djokovic as well, so, whatever.

Yeah plus the fact that Nadal *should* have had the opportunity to win three gold mdeals on three surfaces but didn't, therefore Nadal is GOAT.
And that he would have had a great chance to extend his h2h lead over Federer including a win in 3 out of 4 slams as well as an Olympic win, as well as a chance to go 3-0 over Murray in important grass tournaments, as well as a chance to showcase his GOAT water-bottle label alignment techniques in front of an international and pan-sports audience.

Da, servis mu je bio sjajan (i prvi i drugi) u 2008-oj, totalni horor 2009-te i 2010-te a sad (i u 2011-oj) je negde izmedju.
Da sam na njegovom mestu ja bih batalio sve ostalo i samo radio na unapredjenju servisa, kad krene da gubi brzinu trebace mu i te kako servis kao oruzje.

Sure, Murray is overall a tough match-up for Novak but significantly more so when they play on fast(ish) surface with a low bounce, in those conditions I give Novak more of a chance against anyone else at the moment than against an inform Murray.
Oh definitely.
Fed was in a tough place mentally in 2008 but winning the doubles gold in Olympics gave him the momentum which he rode on to win USO after it.
Novak went on a tear after winning 2010 DC, he said it was the biggest win of his career and gave him confidence.
Who's to say that the same can't happen to Murray if he manages to win the Gold in the final, it's certainly a possibility.
