Programme just starting on BBC1. Most pundits are going for Novak, the odd one for Andy.
Make no mistake, the physicallity of this match will be brutal, maybe the tennis equivalent of the Rumble In The Jungle.
Both are on brilliant form, Novak despatching most of his opponents with a minumum of fuss, Andy almost as much, bar the 5 setter against Federer.
I actually believe that 5th set was beneficial to Murray because of the way he played in it, majestic and ruthless in equal measure and hopefully it will spur him on, combined with the renewed belief given him as a result of working with Lendl and his successes since.
My head says Djokovic, my heart Murray and with a bit of Brit grit he may overcome one of his best friends, I certainly hope he does.
C'mon Andy, you can do this!

Deuce! C'mon!
I was going to get out of bed and watch it ........but maybe I will stay here for the running commentary . Get me really into this Chill and describe the atmosphere for me
Question Author
OK Micke, here goes....
Both look to be on their game, maybe Novak looking a little less unfazed than Andy, who has that perpetual worried look, but he does that regardless of the match situation.
Bit of a battle at the mo on Murray's serve, back to deuce after 4 break points, could be psychologically big if Andy holds.
Question Author
Micke? Mick even.
Murray holds, game on!
3-3.
Question Author
A lot of mid/long stroke rallies, but we expected nothing less from these two on this surface.
Brilliant, Chill...........any chance of coffee and a toasted teacake with lashings of butter?
Question Author
What a rally! Novak off his feet, recovers, Murray with an easy put-away, wastes it, Novak takes the point. Best rally so far.
Question Author
Got no teacakes in Mick. Bring your own and I'll toast 'em for ya!
Yawn - who is winning?
Question Author
Still with serve, Murray with new balls(oo er!) at 3-4.
Question Author
Novak stops in mid rally for a ball called in. He challenges, is correct and takes point. Murray recovers to deuce but is not taking the chances when presented them by Novak.
Early days yet, I think (and hope) it goes to 5 sets.

If Murray wins, he'll be the first player to have won 2 gland slams on the trot, If Djokovic wins, he'll be the first player to have won the Oz tourney 3 times, so either is a win win for the game. (according to the guy on the radio earlier)
Question Author
Brilliant serve and kills the return. 4-4.
Question Author
As I said, not taking his chances. A net-cord sits the ball up, Murray with an easy cross court puts it into the net.
Gotta take these if he wants to win the Slam.
Question Author
Continues to go with serve, 5-4 Novak.
I am hyperventilating watching this...but have completed YOU crossie at same time.....
Question Author
A couple of out of character unforced errors from Novak sees Murray take it to 5-5 with little fuss.
Question Author
Novak continues to work Murray around the court, which may prove telling if it goes to 5 sets.
5-6 Murray at the game break.
Question Author
Murray at 15-30 and berating himself. Novak looks buoyed.
But....he nets one.
30-30.
