Crickey.

My internets went all silly so I had the added stress of that...

Just seen that get again on match point. I thought Raonic had saved it TBH. That was so tight.

There can't be many matches where all the sets go to tie-breaks.

Half the time Murray seems to think he's playing Hamlet instead of tennis.

Don't mention the Scottish player!!!

Is Nishikori even a tennis player? Seems to be bounced out of this match double quick.

That's his first hold after nearly an hour.

And his last. Hoped he'd put up more resistance. Andy will have a tough time tomorrow.

This one didn't either.

No, I know, I was confused.

I hope Andy has enough left in the tank to put up a fight.

I did not expect Djokovic to be so poor tbh.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #336 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:11:17 pm »

Andy needs to get this wrapped up in 2 sets; I think he might be too tired for 3.

simonp · « **Reply #337 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:32:20 pm »

Djokovic seems to have gone away.

TigaSefi · « **Reply #338 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:36:44 pm »

Uh-oh

simonp · « **Reply #339 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:39:48 pm »

Jinxed it.

TigaSefi · « **Reply #340 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:43:12 pm »

He loses his serve then this set is gone.

TigaSefi · « **Reply #341 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:46:15 pm »

Get in!!

rafletcher · « **Reply #342 on:** 20 November, 2016, 07:59:55 pm »

He did

TigaSefi · « **Reply #343 on:** 20 November, 2016, 08:03:03 pm »

Muzza!!!

simonp · « **Reply #344 on:** 20 November, 2016, 08:06:16 pm »

Incredible. Thought Djokovic was back to his best this week. Still lacking confidence and Murray isn't.

Eccentrica Gallumbits · « **Reply #345 on:** 20 November, 2016, 08:09:49 pm »

Pure dead brilliant.

Djokovic wanted to play Murray around the court and tire him out. Murray wanted to return the ball and make Djokovic make mistakes. I have to say, halfway through the first set Djokovic had the match sorted.

Murray is one tough cookie and deserves the No 1 year end position.

Brexit, Trump and now Murray vs. Djokovic
