I'd be interested to see what Murray's game plan will be cos he'll need a good one, Praying wouldn't go a miss, or pretending there's no ball mark on the line at every opportunity, coming closer to the net and whacking the ball square between the eyes, false ball t0sses to bypass time violations and maybe long toilet breaks leaving him to burn in the 34°c sun, when his best is marginally better than your best and there's a French Open final at stake, it's the best tactics to deploy imo because other than that he hasn't got a chance, you only live once.

what effect will 35C temps have?

By:
First real test for the Joker, who has yet to lose a set - that'll change today...
|

thunderstorms & heavy rain forecast for this afternoon & could possibly go on til evening. Good chance it won't finish today. Slight chance it may not even start?
|
|
By:
It will start as they're not prolonged and will be interspersed, a wawa and Novak win today.
|

By:
it'll be a start if murray ignores djokovic when he feigns injury,he falls for it every time.
|
|
By:
Joker hasn't had to feign injury for a long time now. Unlike big mamma who does it almost every slam.
|
|
By:
we'll see if he goes a set down,he knows it always affects murray

Mugray better in faking injuries than Djoker

I don't know about faking injuries, I rekon it is plausible that during the course of two weeks' tennis players pick up niggles and hurt during matches.
Wrt the match, murray is the only guy with a slight chance of beating Djokovic. It is crucial for murray that he takes all the sets he dominates. When they met at the Aussie he should have been 2-0 up and wasn't and that hurt him too badly. I think muzza represents great value and is likely to take on of the first two sets and present an opportunity for a profitable trade, if trading is your game. |

Why is it a player's business if they're opponent is faking an injury?

Remember one of Melbourne finals when Murray was about to serve, and then a butterfly came down, and that totally destroyed Murray's focus and he lost that game...and the entire match because of that! Someone kills all butterflies.

To add: It is A Murray's invention that Djoko faked an injury in last AO final. Why a superior player neeed to fake anything to beat a player he owns!

Murray is Djoker's Whippin' Boy.

That was a bizarre excuse from Murray re Joker.

who will the weather conditions favour?

|
By:
Can't really see the weather being an advantage to either.

Joker in 3 for me whatever the weather.

Djokovic traditionally struggles in the heat and humidity and has played his best slam matches at night when it's cooler, but v Nishi SF US open 14 he looked cooked and pulled out of the Aussie 09 match v Roddick half way through with heat illness.

the market has never cottoned on to it either. makes her very profitable for us shrewdies  |

why run 10m behind the baseline?

toying with him

By:
serious amount of effort just to win a point here
|
|
By:
Djokavic has done it again, looks cooked asks for the trainer & it's murray who gets distracted.
hardly won a point since. you would think he would have learnt by now |

By:
Murray needs to mind his business and play the ball.

By:
piece of piss for Novak, wawa will give him a game.
|
|
By:
not watched all this but seen Murray has missed 3 open goal smashes in crucial points

specsavers needing a visit, with the wides and nets he is hitting

thought this was over ; switched back on and Murray serving for 3rd set

1.01 backers a bit concerned at least

By:
wtf sort of length of break is this???
is djoker have a wee nap? |
|
By:
Not exactly uncommon for Novak to pull out underhand tricks from his bag like this. But it's just delaying the inevitable, there is no chance Murray will win. Break has reduced the momentum flow.
|
|
By:
it's a shame in a way he's allowed to do that. momentum is such a huge part of the game that to be allowed to control it like that is a little unfair and not great for the spectacle either

it's fekkin well worked tho
