Murray V Djokovic: Australian Open Final

[ChillDoubt]

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!

What's a tie break?

[ChillDoubt]

When a set gets to 6-6 Zacs, they have one in order to settle the set. Void if it goes to 5 though, gotta be 2 games clear to win the final set.

[ChillDoubt]

Novak holds a steady service game, 4-4.

[Zacs-Master]

What's a service game?

[ChillDoubt]

What Murray just held, Zacs!

5-4, Novak serving to stay in the set, game break.

Zac.... dont . be obtuse now...good boy...

[Zacs-Master]

So he's holding a tennis bat and a service game?

[ChillDoubt]

Both.

[Zacs-Master]

Sheesh, no wonder he's in the final.

[ChillDoubt]

Novak holds, 5-5, keep it going Andy.

Murray holds for a 6-5 lead as Novak nets an easy return, pressure builds!

[Zacs-Master]

No worries. I've noticed that there seems to be a new bit of programming which prevents 2 posts on the same subject appearing in latest posts at the same time, so I'm not really but the acknowledgement is appreciated. anybody won any of those set things yet?

[ChillDoubt]

Not far off, you'll be the first to know when they do!

[lady-janine]

c'mon andy, c'mon. we're going for you over here.

[humbersloop]

If it goes to five sets, at this rate minty'll have to do a novena!

[ChillDoubt]

Novak double faults to 30-30 with a dreadful 2nd, Andy can smell blood!

[ChillDoubt]

But like a true champion he holds and we're into our second tie break of the match.
