Andy Murray slugging it out with Djokovic, currently 1 set all. Sometimes watching Murray I can't understand why he's had any success at all with such poor shot building. If he stopped making things so easy for his opponents by slapping the ball straight down the middle of the court he'd beat the big names a lot more.
Not looking good now. 2-1 down and a double break. Sad
Murray let's his emotions get the better of him again.

He really needs to do his talking via his racket.
They'll talk about this being an epic clash but in truth Djokovic hasn't had to do anything but be consistent in getting the ball over the net. Well, that and his usual 'I'm cripplingly injured!' gamesmanship when Murray was on top. But Murray has been the architect of his own undoing, failing to get the basics right and bringing a decidedly one dimensional tactical approach to the match. The same reasons he almost always loses these matches basically. Inspired tennis to get to the final and then abandons all that in favour of hitting the ball as hard as he can and hoping for the best.
