Probably 2013. And even then he could fight only for 2 sets in the final. Such a joke.

yeah ... poor andy
why novak djokovic is so good at AO ?

 

[roysid]

It's a close call between 2012, 13 and 15.

In all 3 matches, he had chance to beat Djokovic but couldn't sustain his level over the match

 

[Deleted member 771911]

I heard 2010 was his best form.

2015 isn't even close to 2012 and 2013. I'd put it behind 2010 as well. (the 1/4 final against Nadal was clearly better than any of his 2015 matches)

he actally beat federer and take first set agianst djokovic

but final ? no ..

 

[Druss]

IMO 2012 was his best level at the AO.

 

[MeatTornado]

2012 was his best level.

But 2013 was the year he should have won the title.

 

[skypadq]

i get that , but i don 't think he beat rafa in final

 

[steenkash]

Honestly thought 2010 Andy would have done it, but at this time he wasn't used to closing out grand slam finals, I really wish he won that one.

 

[skypadq]

2012 was his best level.

But 2013 was the year he should have won the title.

intersting ... why do you think he should have won the title ?

 

[Deleted member 771911]

but final ? no ..

Ok. True. 2013 then.

 

[Druss]

i get that , but i don 't think he beat rafa in final

No final, but he pushed Novak to 5 and did not drop a set all the way to that SF.

 

[Third Serve]

2012

 

[Red Rick]

2012/2013 IMO.

 

[MeatTornado]

intersting ... why do you think he should have won the title ?

Everything was aligned for him.
-Unlike 2012 he wouldn't have to go through Rafa afterwards even if he had beaten Djoker.
-He should have had more confidence then ever, it was the first time he entered a slam as a the reigning major champion (with that title coming over Novak, no less).
-Wawrinka had "made God bleed" in a sense, which should've been an added boost
-His level to start the match was probably higher than any of his other finals, he just couldn't sustain it.

uhmm ... great reply for sure
why do you think andy murray couldn 't maintain his level ?

 

[Mainad]

The 2012 semi-final against Djokovic was undoubtedly his best level.

He could and probably should have won the 2013 final given his edge in the 1st 2 sets until he got distracted by that stupid floating feather incident where he completely lost focus.

2015 doesn't belong there, IMO. Bagel in the 4th takes the shine off it.

All I can assume is that he was deflated after playing so well in the 2nd set and losing it.

He didn't even open it, let alone close it.

 

[mike danny]

2012 was his best, followed by 2013.

I just mentioned it. After he won the 1st set tie-break and was poised to win the 2nd he got distracted by a feather floating down in front of him. Everybody laughed but he totally lost focus and allowed things to slip away. Andy can sometimes get distracted and lose focus at crucial moments in matches. It's been an unfortunate weakness of his.

wow ... that sucks

 

[Deleted member 780630]

2012 of course, the only year he had some teeth in the match he lost. All other deep runs he either played like crap (2010, 2011, 2016) or flopped after two sets (2013, 2015).

 

[Mainad]

Disagree. After he exchanged tie-breaks with Djokovic he went up a break in the 3rd and was poised to take it. Then Djokovic started limping around the court and took an MTO and that completely threw Murray off his game. As I said in my previous post he has had an unfortunate tendency to get distracted and lose focus especially when playing Djokovic.

It looked for a little while he was in the driver's seat, kinda went back and forth, but actually they were neck and neck overall, and there were no breaks od serve at all in the first 2 sets. Murray saved 5 bps in the 1st, and Djokovic 3 in the 2nd.

After he lost the 2nd the intensity dropped a bit. If he couldn't sustain it for more than 2 sets, how is it that he should've won?

Feather was classic Murray, no comment needed there. Also, unnecessary 5th set in the SF maybe took away something form him. He was in command in the 4th and he let it slip away somehow.

 

[Deleted member 779124]

2012-2013.

 

[Deleted member 779124]

2010 and 2015 were strong well. The Nadal match might be the best match Murray played at AO.

 

[mike danny]

2010 and 2015 were excellent as well.

In 2010 hs played a poor tactical match and in 2015 he pretty much went away midway through the 3rd.

really ? , even rafa had injury ?

Not great in the AO 2010 final but still solid. AO 2015 final was good for like 2.5 sets - 2.75 sets until Murray faded/got tired away but both were excellent in the lead up to the final.

 

[NatF]

2013 imo. Think 2010 was really good but his final match was significantly worse than 2012/2013/2015.

2015 final he was much closer to winning than the scoreline suggests.
He was overpowering Djokovic and then classically got distracted by djokers mind games who acted out but wasn't out.

One Murray got distracted he was just out of the match

 

[RS]

Not a single great AO final from Murray Djokovic fans

His truly great match was the SF in 2012.

He never really came close in any of his finals.

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

2010

 

[RS]

The 2012 semi-final against Djokovic was undoubtedly his best level.

He could and probably should have won the 2013 final given his edge in the 1st 2 sets until he got distracted by that stupid floating feather incident where he completely lost focus.

Not so sure Murray came that close. Djokovic should won set 1 and Murray set 2 so 1-1 in the first 2 sets was fair.

2013.
My countryman should've absolutely won the title that year.
But his own lack of clutch in tiebreakers against roger cost him extra 1:30-2 hours of grindfest for a match he should have probably won in straight or 4 sets at max. That toll ultimately proved to be crucial in final against nole; especially after losing 2nd set TB.

 

[Milanez82]

2017 was a real missed chance
If you can't do it as a world no1 then coming in hot..

 

[Nadal_Django]

2010 and it's not even close. Since then he has been in a steady decline at the Australian Open tournament.

Don't think it was his best chance. He would have had to go through Federer, Wawrinka and Nadal. Brutal draw.
