    I think the Murray/Fed match the other day shows a little of that. Federer just faded in the 5th set. It was actually the first time in his career that he's had to play 2 5 set matches back to back. Which is an amazing stat when you think about how long he's been playing and most Slam's he's playing the full 2 weeks.

    IQUOTE]

    Yes, and Andy had very little play time. Fed still hung with him. Throw in a 5 setter for Andy on the match before Federer and maybe Murray wouldn't be as energetic.

    It's all part of his "keep saying murray will win, which makes him lose" scheme.

    More like predict the worst and can't be disappointed. Well known tool of the pessimist :) Hating players is for the young. I haven't had the energy since back in the day when I always wanted Lendl to lose.

    2-1 and a break up, Djokovic has a glimmer of hope ...

    Can't believe ES are banging on about Andy's sore foot and his blisters. Did they not see Li Na twist her ankle twice and knock her self out yesterday? If he's hampered by blisters he's a wimp.

    This match is over as a contest. Murray gone into his shell since second set tie break, djokovic has stepped it up...

    I hope that's sarcasm....

    Even Murray would laugh at the comparison. :p

    All about Murray's serve. 63 of 75 on his 1st serve, but is only 45% on 2nd serve. Djokovic is punishing him every time he doesn't make his 1st serve.

    Can Murray find a way back??? Near impossible at this point :(

    Would like it to go to a 5th set.

    Djokovic really showed there was a level he could go to that Murray couldn't reach. Looks like that feather was the turning point of the match...
