Australian Open 2015 - Men's final

[Sozabarus]

Djokovic may be legitimately injured or unwell but he does tend to do this sometimes when he's under pressure to try and lure his opponent in to a false sense of security. I want Murray to win but I have no issue with it if that's what Novak is doing - I'm all for gamesmanship in sport.

Go have a look at twitter and see some of the comments professional tennis players and commentators are making about the quality of this tennis match.

They are all saying how brilliant it is.

They're hardly going to say it's a bad game. Bruuuuth wouldn't read their tweets if that was the case.

I don't know why Channel 7 show tweets. Why do they think people care about what Sally Fitzgibbons has to say about the game?

What Novak is doing is so weird. IMO he just isn't as fit as Murray and just needed a break from pushing himself to the limit. Novak's tank sessions have not only allowed him to recover some energy but thrown Murray off mentally as well it seems. Could be wrong, there might be something actually wrong with Novak but it's so weird to see something like this without being suspicious...

Better last 2 Games horrific start

Dat moment when you run out of booze so have to substitute with coffee to get a buzz

What a joke Serena gets the same amount of money as the winner of this.

Same money for less work.

In any job if you can't perform as well as a colleague, be it male or female you wont get paid as much as them.

It's a disgrace women aren't playing best of 5 sets

 

[RobbyRoy]

Serious question, what do you find interesting about him?

I don't know, I've just always enjoyed his sense of humour and his high emotion levels. Interesting isn't really the word, but I certainly have never found him to be boring or detestable, as so many in this thread seem to feel.

This set is going a tad faster. My sleep thanks the players.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

How about we administer the rules as they are?

Have the balls to call them.

 

[Halorad]

Andy Murray is the quintessential angry scot.

Whilst his tennis is great,I find the fact that he loses his nut every 5 minutes to be even more entertaining

Both have pushed a lot in this match and that's the reason it's been going on for far too long. This set has been heaps better than the previous ones.

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Bruce providing us with another insightful update from Jelena Djokovic's twitter!

Enough of this s**t! Just focus on the match and not what Jelena is doing or not doing!

 

[Latour]

Murray just looks like a tool

 

[94_Eagles]

Murray just looks like a tool

Manresmo looks like she has a tool

 

[BEEG]

Murray always whinging
Novak always playing injured or crook

Both guns though

 

[NSWCROW]

CYBORG !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mingo]

Surprised at the people ruling Djokovic out when he started the whole injury thing. He's done it many times and more often than not finds the way to win. Whether he's just a resilient champion or a sook I don't know.

 

[Lyttelton Ranger]

What. A. Point

 

[bkozican]

C'mon Novak

 

[vonn]

This game is epic.

 

[94_Eagles]

Lol there's 3 people in Novak's box literally

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Dat volley down great point!

Like said above probably does it hoping that the opponent will believe it and think they should now win since he's not 100%. Lose a bit of focus and affects their gameplay. End result they lose.

Well his wife is pregnant so she is hardly going to be there lol
