2015 Australian Open Final: Djokovic vs. Murray

[Kieran]

Slightly worried tbh. Murray looks more composed than I have ever seen him, and the losing his head part has helped Novak in the past.

Why has Kim Sears not yet received a ban for rod laver arena btw?

Why would they ban her? She's only being a loyal hen, cl***ing and f***ing as loud as she can. :laydownlaughing

I agree about Andy's composure. There's a certain momentum about him this year. He sorted out the youngsters in impressive style - Grigor and Kyrgios - and responded perfectly to Berdy's opening set win. Murray looks mentally more complete and resolved than I've ever seen him, and his game is less conflicted too. He looks dangerous, but having said that, when Nole doesn't go AWOL - as he often did today - he's better than Murray, simple as that. It's a leap in class for Murray, and when was the last time he beat anyone of Novak's calibre in a big match?

I wouldn't write him off, which is why I think Sunday's final will be a cracker...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Bring it on Kim Spears especially for the final....

Here are some interesting facts:

Djokovic's GS finals record is 7-7 and he is 4-0 here in Australian Open. In 10 of those GS finals, he lost the 1st set (4-6). He is 3-1 when winning the 1st set of a GS final. What's interesting about his GS finals record here is that in three out of four finals he has played here, he has lost the 1st set. Finally, if Djokovic does lose in the final, he will join Lendl and Federer as the only male players in Open Era to lose all four slam finals.

Murray's GS finals record is 2-5 and he is 0-3 here in Australian Open. In Murray's first three GS finals, he has lost the first set. In his last four finals though, he won the first set but he is only 2-2 in those finals including the 2013 Aussie Open. And if Murray lose this Sunday, he will join Bjorn Borg as the only male players in Open Era to lose four finals without winning one.

Sears yelled at Berdych: "f---ing have it you Czech flash f---"

It's disrespectful, racist and offensive. Berdych is also one of the nicest guys on tour.

Anyways, I hope Novak puts Murray and his fiancée where they belong on Sunday: the runner-up position, second place, not quite it.

 

[Front242]

I've missed practically the whole tournament 'cos of the times matches are on but this one is a tough one to call. Can see Murray having much more of a shot at winning this one than previous encounters with Djokovic based on form but I sincerely hope not.

 

[Front242]

If they banned Kim Sears "five minutes before the f**king match" Novak would win easily They probably should too.

 

[DarthFed]

Maybe we will see that babe Kim Sears in tears again after Sunday

 

[Kirijax]

Just saw the video. Very disappointed. Thought Muzzchop had found a good one. Come to find out she is as ugly inside as Muzzchop is on the outside. I wonder what racial slur she has ready for Djokovic in the final. Classless. Nice find Andy!

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I am not voting. But, I would like Andy to win this.

What is up with all the WAGs wagging their tongue? First Mirka, Now Kim. Next, will it be
Jalena once she is ready to come to the matches or will Xisca beat her to that?

I never got into this and first time I am reading what was said. Wow. That is wrong on so many levels. Is this confirmed?

I read her lips. It wasn't "No more taxes", that's for sure...

 

[Seero]

The faux outrage over this is laughable. Quite frankly, so are those implying any kind of racism.

Anyway, on subject - I would like Murray to win but if I was a betting man I'd go with Djokovic in 3 or 4.

Welcome to the forum Seero.

Me , I am not outraged, but I would be if I was her parents

As far as racism, I do not think there is a Czech race, so maybe it is not racist. However, when you bring a person's ethnicity and country into the mix, you are going beyond the individual and insulting a whole group of people. No need for that. Keep it personal. I am sure she would be outraged if someone called Murray "You Scottish F&*%", no?

 

[tented]

I believe that's her nickname for him.

[Correspondent Kiu]

Murray to win in 5 sets, 3 times proves it Murray!!

I think that's the way Li Na did the trick!

 

[Carol]

Does someone know at what time is the match tomorrow (US eastern time) hope it's not going to be at 3am :nono
Muzz has to win this AO, he needs it very badly for strength his confidence and he will in four

I didn't see the Novak-Wawrinka match but I've read from different sources it wasn't a good match, both players didn't play so well but someone had to win, isn't? :huh:
