Quality was a lot worse than expected. If Novak plays like this in the finals, Murray will punish him. Stan had his chances in the fifth, with multiple game points and break points, but wasn't able to convert any.

Novak won with a 1:2 winner:UE ratio.

I'm hearing that Stan drops to No. 8, but the live tennis rankings says he drops to No. 9
EDIT: It's 9. never mind.

Djokovic will win the AO, so we will get:
Horrific match.
Murray with an evil laugh

Man, I swear the Big Four will probably still be the top four come 2020 at this rate. I mean, every now and then one of them drops out of the top four briefly, but they've pretty much had it on a lock-down since like 2008.
Wow, I didn't even realize that Djokovic, Federer, Nadal and Murray are back in the top 4 spots xD
What is it with the other tennis players being unable to compete. Seriously.
Tennis is dying, the younger generation is a joke

The top four are also just incredibly good. I mean, in another era Murray would probably have been permanent number one and won a good six or seven slam titles, and yet he struggles to go above number four. There's not really much anyone can do about that. It isn't like it's specifically a younger generation problem; Tsonga, Berdych, Ferrer, Soderling and Ancic never really had much luck and they are/were all really good and complete players.

Murray vs Novak is the worst maitch up in the history of tennis. Ugh
Better than the women's finals
John Dunbar
correct about everything
disgusting result, but couldn't have really asked more from stan after last year. just hopefully murray gets it done, though you just know that the first big point that doesn't go his way will make him crumble. feather: the sequel.

Murray-Djokovic have had some great matches - the AO 2012 semi-final was absolutely terrific, one of the best matches I've seen from either of them and indeed one of the best matches of the last decade full-stop. The trouble is when they're not feeling confident and both lapse into defensive play at the same time.

You have to start the conversation of Djokovic being the greatest of all time....
Couldnt watch the match, but yay Djoker! Get that title!
Now let me start getting drunk for Maria's final. ;-;

What's the TV schedule for the men's and women's Australian Open final? On the east coast in the United States? I can't find it ANYWHERE. I really want to see Serena/Sharapova
I think it's 3:30 AM EST tonight and tomorrow night
Yeah the official site says 3.30 for the women's but doesn't list the mens but it's probably the same
Yep,just checked with Tennis Livescore and it's Saturday(women) and Sunday(men) at 3:30 A.M. EST...oh well.

Reminds me of the Andy Roddick Pong commercial that I was a part of. The ball boy kneeling at the net post is me
(sorry for the horribly pixilated picture, best I could find)

Serena vs Maria..
For as much hype as these matches get, it hasn't been a rivalry since 2005.
It's like a Virtua Tennis mini game lol.

Thats some incredible dexterity. My favorite new age "tweener" was from Harrison at the AO a few years ago.
He hit it with lefty spin by contorting his wrist in the opposite direction.

Murphy's playing with a zest that i've never seen before, very impressed by his previous 2 matches. Confident, determined and relaxed, a deadly combination. He's still the underdog i think but i just hope this will be an amazing match.
Novak: Well I'll be damned.
