Nadal has a gold medal and one French Open title thanks to that awful smash.

 

[Omzz]

Murray looking a bit better

 

[Jimrpg]

What's wrong with jokers smash?

 

[John Dunbar]

djokovic acts a bit flustered and murray goes on to miss by a mile. classic.

 

[oti]

just why

 

[killer_clank]

dat volley

 

[oti]

YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS SIMON

 

[sam777]

Murray starting to play better now.

 

[Empty]

murray playing with some authority

will still lose this set

 

[squeakywheel]

murray playing with some authority

will still lose this set

Until he dials in that forehand and starts adding some depth to his shots, he ain't winning a set.

 

[Omzz]

murray...

 

[Sax Russel]

Ugh, Murray

 

[sam777]

Comeback is on

 

[perfectchaos007]

Murray fights back

 

[greenleaves]

Wow those backhands were huge!

 

[oti]

Please win the second set Murray.

He should just run around his forehand and hit backhands.

Seles forehand.

 

[squeakywheel]

He should just run around his forehand and hit backhands.

 

[John Dunbar]

murray giving some false hope.

 

[jelly]

Wow, not a great start for Murray. Was he poor or Novak beast mode?

At least he broke back there.

 

[killer_clank]

Please win the second set Murray.

it's the only only slither of hope.

 

[sam777]

Wow, not a great start for Murray. Was he poor or Novak beast mode?

At least he broke back there.

He was terrible.

 

[oti]

Wow, not a great start for Murray. Was he poor or Novak beast mode?

At least he broke back there.

Novak hasn't needed the Avatar state so far.

 

[killer_clank]

Wow, not a great start for Murray. Was he poor or Novak beast mode?

At least he broke back there.

novak wasn't even playing well, murray just literally stopped serving and hit almost every ball out.

 

[jelly]

Oh well, not great and he is already getting flustered with himself.

 

[sam777]

30-0 to BP

 

[killer_clank]

clutch serve

 

[perfectchaos007]

Every service game is a struggle for both guys.

 

[leng jai]

Djokovic is so bot like. Playing the same the entire time while Murray is up and down like a yo-yo.

 

[oti]

This match has no "flow" to it. It's kinda hard to watch really.

 

[John Dunbar]

basically murray has to hit service winners to win points on serve.

 

[jelly]

Murray just doesn't do the tough angles to trouble Novak in rallies.

 

[killer_clank]

he always gets the ace at deuce D:

 

[sam777]

he always gets the ace at deuce D:

Erm. Well timed

 

[oti]

This is exactly why I don't like Murray-Djokovic finals.

 

[sam777]

Get in

 

[killer_clank]

phew

 

[perfectchaos007]

Murray one game away from evening the match

 

[John Dunbar]

come on murray, summon clayray and get the break here.

 

[Faith]

Murray one game away from evening the match

You need a set lead to be even with Djokovic.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Backhand keeping him in this match.

 

[PedroPanache]

He's hanging in there. C'mon, please take this second set and make a contest of it. Win or lose, don't care, as long as we get something approaching a competitive match.

 

[squeakywheel]

I'm surprised Djoker's playing not-to-lose. He should be cranking his first serves with new balls.

 

[sam777]

Murray blitzing these CC backhands.

 

[oti]

I find it always funny when they show "New Balls" on screen. I know it's really important for the players but what am I supposed to do with that piece of information?

 

[Omzz]

That cross court backhand has been really working for murray

 

[squeakywheel]

Ugh so hard to watch with that Murray forehand stinking up the joint.

 

[sam777]

I find it always funny when they show "New Balls" on screen. I know it's really important for the players but what am I supposed to do with that piece of information?

Digest it.

 

[John Dunbar]

not even a break point or deuce, but still feels like murray missed his shot there.

 

[sam777]

not even a break point or deuce, but still feels like murray missed his shot there.

True. At least he is playing better.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Djokovic looks tight
