€3 on Djokovic to win the third set at 8/11. Boy am I sweating on this service game.

Finally some really good tennis in this set. Some fantastic shots by both of them, especially Murray at 30-30.

Djoko to serve for it. I think Murray could break back again.

Why do we always hear these "slow court" reasons given for defeats? Even when Nadal wins hard court slams you hear various people saying he did it because of the slower surface. And now the same with Djoko?

Well outplayed Murray but he has to be philosophical about it. He's not far off winning a Major but he has to sort his mental demons out.

Fratton Park, play up Pompey!
Of course it has, but on the occasion Murray pulled out a decent shot it was a ******** for him.. Anyway you can't not praise Novak in this match. Great play.
Can you blame them? They just want their countryman to do well, something i'm sure you can relate to.

I wonder how it would be like on Serbian commentary. I'm sure far far far worse.

It's over, Murry hits it into the net and Murray still hasn't won a set in a Grand Slam final.

He's surely going to win one at some point, but then again i said that about Colin Montgomery.

Djokovic is a rather smug looking fellow isn't he?

Completely deserved and dominant, Murray needs to get his head together if he's going to be able to win a big one.

Murray was right then. It was brutal

Well done Djokovic. Wins it without dropping a set all tournament. Deserved winner!

I honestly dont think he will ever. He needs a better, imposing, more penetrative serve, a better game plan and more than any of that a mental strength to impose himself in big matches - which you cant buy and he does'nt have

Unless he gets that he'll never move up the extra notch
