    It all depends on how they play tomorrow. On current form Djok has to be the favourite, beating Federer so decisively while Andy seemed to struggle to beat Raonic. But at this level it is about very fine margins. Even straight sets defeats are rarely as unequal as the sets/games tally suggests.

    The bookies seem confident.

    Djok 1-5 Murray 4-1 on Bet 365.
    Indeed. As I said the margins are fine, but Djok is No. 1 for a reason.

    Amazing women's final.

    Kerber wins!

    Coming back to win having lost her serve herself when serving for the title.

    Strong mental strength.

    Murray to lose in 4 tomorrow I feel.

    I think you are probably right. I'd like to see him go the 5, as long as he doesn't lose in 3 I won't be too unhappy. If he wins I will be giving it large, as you young people say.

    She was match point down in the first round apparently!

    I'm not really a big viewer of ladies tennis, but that was a pretty good final.

    Kerber/Williams .. given the current panic over fixes .. is this one for the stewards ? ((:>)

    Well done Jamie, a well deserved title!

    So extremely hungover after going up to Rotherham but have managed to rouse myself to watch this. Let's hope Murray has a Makienok performance - come on Andy !!!

    Murray not playing well. Looks exhausted.

    Bloody hell, Murray's won as many games so far as I would !

    He never did get a good second serve and you cant get away with that against the Djoks of this world.

    To be fair there aren't many of those.

    Think Djokovic is going to make short work of this unfortunately.

    Oh dear.

    Turned into a proper match.

    That's that I think - to throw that game away after being 40-0 up is ridiculous

    Really needs to break serve now. No way will he come back from 2 down.

    That's his chance gone.

    The Jimmy White of tennis.

    Five Australian finals five defeats. (Jimmy reached six finals six defeats in the world championships I believe).

    Maybe if he hadn't won two of the other, bigger Grand Slams.

    I don't think in the modern game any of the four slams are bigger than any of the others. Of course we go on about Wimbledon but then we do the same about te FA Cup, The Open and Lords Tests. The Aussie Open is by far and away the players favourite in terms of how they are looked after, 40 years ago hardly any top players competed there.
    I'm sure Novak would give up loads of his Slam titles for one French one.
