I think he does it to get his percentages up, but considering how slow his second serve is as well he's not doing himself any favours.

Quality has dropped off in this last game. How on Earth did Djokovic not take advantage of that second serve? It was 125kph.


Well it's pretty stupid. He is broken again.
Nole seems to be struggling with an injury
Djokovic is struggling physically it looks.

Spinning it is fine but he is just rolling his first serve in Novak's hitting zone and he ain't level with Nole on serve. Novak has a better serve imo.


Nah, Murrays 1st is way stronger.
I hope Novak's injury isn't too serious

Stronger doesn't mean better. Murray can serve bigger than Federer but no one would say that his first serve is better than Federer's.
Murray's first serve is more powerful and he has a nasty slice serve. In terms of pure consistency however, Djokovic generally has a higher first serve percentage and a very accurate delivery, more so than Murray. On balance that's why I'd give the edge to Djokovic's first serve.

Murray is statistically far better on 1st's than Novak.
Novak is statistically far better on the 2nd. (his 2nd is so strong that becker has been trying to make his first more aggressive)

Murrays problem is his 2nd serve is total *******s. Wouldn't say he's the better returner either really, they are both great.
Djokovic needs to refocus...
Both players seem to be very irritable
These rallies are getting a bit languid. A lot of it is right down the centre play.
This set is more crucial for Muzza you feel, would be great if he could nick this considering he was 4-1 & 5-3 down when Nole was serving for the set.
Jesus no one wanted to win that set! This has 5 sets written all over it
Djokovic wasn't close to his best at the end of the set and in the TB, but still managed to win it.
How did Murray miss that volley at 5-5 in the tie-breaker :erm:
Djokovic struggling physically.
Another strange match to follow the last SF...
Djokovic is fine, it's the Murray tactic of exaggerating injuries when you lose a point. Djok loves the drama of being 'out on his feet' and coming back to play incredible tennis.
