Ofcourse he's got a chance.Does Murray have a chance today? He spent most of yesterday clutching his hamstring whereas Djokovic had a nice rest.
I thought it was pretty poor, for the most part. Djokovic was at 50% and Murray was just keeping it in court as he knew he just had to stick with him.Was looking a decent encounter, shame about the injury, think it's more overuse than anything sinister.
Yep it was quite an average match but to be honest the entire tournament has been amazingly mediocre imo. Nadal, Fed and even Djokovic looked very ordinary for most parts.I thought it was pretty poor, for the most part.

Calm down......it was only a joke Nadal's pussyYeah Andy win another Shanghai Open because that's all you can really win
He'll win this and then maybe the end of year London Masters and then the Brits will go Murray crazy before he disappoints them with another 4 set loss to a Top player at the Aussie Open
So Andy needs the title at the Aussie Open42 matches or so.

After four consecutive years of rain-postponed men's finals, the US Open is looking into changing its schedule as soon as next year and could become the first Grand Slam tennis tournament to switch permanently to a Monday finish.
Actually Djoko was the man in form post Wimbledon last year. He was brilliant on the American Hard Courts and in the US Open and even after that in the Davis Cup. I remember backing him for the Australian Open after the USO Final last year but didn't really expect him to have such a good year.It's a positive, you can't take that away. Before Djoko went on his incredible run he was being somewhat written off but i think Novak has inspired Murray. I probably recycle this every year but i truely believe he'll win one next year.
I think Murray must win a Slam next year or he won't. Roger and Nadal are a bit past their bests and Djokovic probably will not be able to repeat this year. Murray will perhaps be able to sneak one in there as by 2013 there will be some new young players ready to break through like Tomic, Raonic, Dmitriov etc. and Murry will be a couple of years older.Actually Djoko was the man in form post Wimbledon last year.

These 3 titles will do Murray a world of good in terms of confidence but the real confidence boost will be beating Nadal/Djoko/Federer in a Slam match that really matters. I've always believed that he'll win a Slam and I'm sure he will in the next year or two but he needs to get a big win in a Slam rather than these small tournaments where no one really cares much anymore.
Nole's shoulder again. I think he just didn't want to resign so he stayed on for the third set although it already was a formality at that point in the match.Nishikori (yes really) just beat Djokovic in Basel....6-0 in the third set!!!
From what I read in our media his shoulder problems are quite worrying. I think it's the third match now he lost this year because of it.Djokovic was 2-3 points from the match in the 2nd set and I just switched back to the United game. I was shocked when I saw that he'd lost.
