2015 Masters Series 1000 Miami Final: Djokovic v. Murray

[herios]

Well done Nole then...

Safe to say I'm slightly more annoyed about Dolgopolov's capitulation now than I was at the time!

OK, let's straighten something out. Dolgopolov is no serious threat to defeat Nole, he is talented enough to steal a set but not more than that.

Novak will surpass Rafa in the Masters Series race. Rafa no longer has the clay courts sewn up

Congrats to Novak :clap
And to Muzz? sorry but a hug boooooooo for to make a very poor perfomance in the third set, incredible but true

I meant a HUGE booooo nad not a hug :nono

 

[Federberg]

This has got to be a hugely debilitating match for Murray. Were there any positives. He used his Ultra Boy Agressive Power today and ran out of gas. Good strategy there Mauresmo. I'd like to know what exactly she has brought to Murray's game. His progression from back surgery could have been done without her. He needs someone to help him beat The Gargantuan Three. Mauresmo ain't getting it done.

Incredibly unfair in my view

I could use a hugaboo now and then.

 

[Federberg]

Overall this match was a lot of sloppiness interspersed with some great points. Really the best matches to watch among the top tier (for me) are when Fed and Novak play.

I agree. Here's how I rank the match ups in terms of entertainment value...

1, Novak/Roger
2, Roger/Murray
3, Novak/Rafa
4, Rafa/Murray
5, Novak/Murray
6, Roger/Rafa

Lamest trophy ever?

Maybe it's better than the medieval pleasure device from Madrid.

I'd forgotten that this is the 2nd time in a row that Novak has bagged him...

I am all for Andy keeping her!! :clap :clap

haha I'm sure you are.

Totally agree with TF7 about her moving Andy in the right direction.

Novak has a bad day at the office and Murray still can't beat him.

Playing mediocre tennis at best and bagels him.

Before the match, Andy was going on and on about how well he knew the court, the slope, where to slice the ball to. uzzled

1, Rafa/Novak

Let's straighten something else out, Dolgopolov was up a set and 4-1 and he lost from that position. How you can shrug that off as a 'nah, he was never a threat' situation is absolutely baffling.

Really disappointed. Murray needs to make a coaching staff change today. Get rid of Mauresmo and his training staff. This is his home court and he should have been ready. No excuse for a bagel.

But he has a wedding, he wasnt in focus in 3rd...

Okay, let's straighten something else out here. How can you say Andy is moving in the right direction when he gets bageled on his home court?

We've had several discussions about this over the years. Miami definitely is not the worst. I think it's a tie between Tiriac's golden toilet brush and Cinci's Resale Store Vase. :cover

That Miami trophy looks like they picked it up at the $2 store.

To be fair, he is losing in the finals of big tournaments this year. He couldn't even get to the finals of a masters or slam last year. It is the right direction, just slower than desirable to most of his fans, I am sure.

Andy was coming back from surgery last year, so the lack of results might reflect that. He got creamed in the semis of IW and made the final of Oz and Miami without facing either Fed or Nadal. So (to me), that really isn't improvement.

We are seeing this differently, obviously. Dolgo has a history of inconsistency from one match to another as well as within one match, because of his high risk style, with low margin for error.
I was not afraid for Nole, even when the Dog was up a break in the second, because it was Dolgo on the other side of the net.
And if you are annoyed with him, because he did not do the dirty work, why are you not upset with your boy who is even worse, deflating like a cheap tent at the end of his matches.
