Australian Open 2013

[Shanks]

It seems like he found that missing piece to take him from almost there to there.

He even gets through the rounds with ease.

Hope he wins this one, but I really want him to win Wimbledon too - that would be unreal.

Well done Andy, now go beat Novak again..

Murray is on a roll

 

[kr1978]

He is a changed man that's for sure- has an extra level to his game and the way he reacted to losing the 4th set was brilliant to see- it fired him up rather than knocking his game. Hope this is the 2nd of many opens

Agree - would love to see that. He definately can do it now too - as you say, he's found that winning mentality. It's brilliant to see.

Women's final has been pretty good so far. Glad Li Na appears to have bounced back after the injury and I'd love to see her win the Aussie in her second final, but I think Vika will take it.

She's turned her ankle again.

 

[hughy]

Smacked her head on the floor as she went over as well. How unlucky can she get?

Come on Andy

 

[tototoner]

this is going to be a classic the way its started, brutal rallies already

it will go 5 sets - the winner ???? no idea

 

[hughy]

Djokovic in 4. You heard it here first.


And that's coming from one of Murray's biggest fans. I just think the longer this match goes on, the more Murray will fade.

1st set Murray

7-2 in the tie break

 

[hughy]

Good lad. I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong...

 

[gregga]

How important could those three missed break points be?

Irvine Welsh ‏@WelshIrvine
The tartan spunktank payload, destined for the Serb's face, has mysteriously backed up and caused instant blindness in Murray.

Now would be the perfect time for the first break of the match. Djokovic had all the break points in the first set, couldn't convert, and lost the set on a tie-break. Murray had the 3 break-points early in this set, couldn't convert, and it's looking more and more like a tie-break. If Murray breaks here, He'll be looking very healthy.

 

[hughy]

Oooft. This tie-break is gonna be tennnssseee!

 

[tototoner]

and some people still think the women should get the same prize money as the men

no chance
