Very happy for Djokovic. Once he started playing at an amazing level after the second set he outplayed Murray. His serving has improved considerably since the USO final and was very good today. At the age of 25 he is probably the greatest tennis player ever at the Australian Open. Before Roland Garros in May there are points for him to collect that should cement his World Number 1 position for a long time.
Good tournament for Murray beating Federer for the first time in a Slam but IMO when Novak is playing at such a high level then he it's too difficult to beat. Murray did well to make Nole play below-par for the first two sets, but even in this period I think he only made three break points on Djokovic's serve (all in one game). Novak did not lose his serve in around four hours of tennis against somebody who is regarded as the second best returner on tour.
Truly impressive performance from Djokovic, especially considering how he was close to going two sets down. |
