correct about everything
djokovic is just clowning a bit because he knows murray will get distracted again.

Just saw the score, I'm missing out on a high level final aren't I
It started okay. Second set was dreadful. I mean, they obviously both have incredible defense, but Novak won't be aggressive, ever, and when Murray is aggressive he nets it 50% of the time.
Second set Murray 11 winners, 12 UEs; Djokovic 9 winners, 15 UEs.

Pretty safe to say Murray will fuck this up in the end, but it would be nice if he doesn't fall apart.

They can't hit an overhead between them. Let it bounce, for fuck's sake.

I don't think it is exhaustion. This is a three-setter. He's just giving up.
This should already have been 6-0 but Novak is terrible at BP conversion.

He's clearly not even bothering any more. Four second serves in a row, three UEs in a row.

someone in the crowd just said "Andy try to look like you're giving a fuck" in a rather strong Scottish accent.

If nobody steps up, Djokovic is going to be the greatest of all time.

He'll still have to win a French Open to be in consideration. I guess he doesn't necessarily have to beat Nadal at the French, because Federer never did.

He's not eclipsing 17, but I think he has a fair shot at longest time as number 1. I mean, I can't see anyone replacing him in the next 3 years.

I stepped away for the final set, but checking the score now: lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Haha, nice !
Novak will turn 28 next month, he won't be able to have the physical edge he has on the others for that long, especially with all the young talents who will mature during the next three years. If he wants the record he will have to find other ways to win.
I'd also argue that in the case he wins the French in the next two years, which is a possibility considering Nadal is declining, he'll have to deal with a motivation problem : when you've won everything, it's harder to be at your best every week.
Neither of them really need them to win, usually. It's sad but it's true.

Hyeon Chung needs to beat Mischa Zvrev tomorrow to qualify for Houston. Too bad for Nishioka....

Yeah, but which young talent is going to be ready in the next 3 years? Raonic, Nishikori and Dimitrov aren't young talent; they're in their prime. Nishikori might snatch some time at no.1, but I doubt it. Kyrgios and Coric might just about be ready before 3 years is up, but it'd be a stretch.
