Murray V Djokovic: Australian Open Final

[ChillDoubt]

Programme just starting on BBC1. Most pundits are going for Novak, the odd one for Andy.
Make no mistake, the physicallity of this match will be brutal, maybe the tennis equivalent of the Rumble In The Jungle.
Both are on brilliant form, Novak despatching most of his opponents with a minumum of fuss, Andy almost as much, bar the 5 setter against Federer.
I actually believe that 5th set was beneficial to Murray because of the way he played in it, majestic and ruthless in equal measure and hopefully it will spur him on, combined with the renewed belief given him as a result of working with Lendl and his successes since.
My head says Djokovic, my heart Murray and with a bit of Brit grit he may overcome one of his best friends, I certainly hope he does.
C'mon Andy, you can do this!

Oh well.nuff said!

[ChillDoubt]

0-30 for Novak. Too little, too late form Murray? He couldn't could he?

[ChillDoubt]

No, he couldn't.
The heavy-set warbler takes centre stage as Novak marches to 5-1.

[ChillDoubt]

Murray delays the inevitable for a minute or two as he holds.

You can get back in your box now Chill

[ChillDoubt]

Despite a mini wobble there it's game, set and Championship to Djokovic.
Valiant effort by Murray.
