Potential for an all-time classic match here. After staying up til 1am to watch the 49ers-Packers last night, I’m gonna be fairly knackered tomorrow. At times like these, I wish I was briantinnion.[/quote]
I still fancy Muz in 3. The disappointing thing here is that I don’t think Djokovic raised his game that much to get back into it.
He’d basically been beating himself up until that point, and he’s stopped doing that. Lovely lob there, and that was a good game from him in general. Think Murray will do well to hold serve here.
Djokoovic took Murray to school in the last 20 minutes and was aiming some precision bullets at the Dublane man. But that last game showed his vulnerability to the wind. Could be another shootout in this set.
My word. This is now Murray’s moment. Played an excellent game there. I’ve a feeling it still won’t be straightforward for him.

I only half agree. He was half beating himself but Murray was the much better player IMO.
Score?
7-6 7-5 to Murray. Djokovic has break point in the first game of the third, which has been saved.
Excellent serving by Murray to get him out of trouble in the first game there.
Djokovic has come out very strongly at the start of the third and makes the breakthrough. Murray handed him a double fault at 15-30 but great game from Djokovic otherwise.
Djokovic all over Murray’s serve now. He’s stepped it up since the start of the third, playing the best tennis either man has played tonight at the moment.
Djokovic given a time violation warning, which (if I heard correctly) Peter Fleming rightly condemns as a “shitty call”. Not the usual vocabulary for Sky commentators.
I’m sorry guys, sometimes I let my emotions get the better of me, I’m a very passionate person.
I have to say it was one of the best games of tennis I’d seen. Some of the rallys were sublime and both players ability to scramble and force one more shot was stunning, particularly as they were clearly running on vapour in the later sets.
It wasn’t of the quality of either of the Federer-Nadal Wimbledon finals, or their Aussie Open final. Fed-Delpo US Open final was better too. The Nadal-Djokovic finals in Flushing Meadows and Melbourne were better too. Not really the fault of the players yesterday, the conditions just didn’t allow it.
Djokovic-Federer in the World Tour Final on Sky Sports at the moment. It’s back on serve in the first set after Roger jumped out to a 3-0 lead early on. Novak serving at 3-4 but crucially with the new balls. Great atmosphere in London.
Djokovic broke Federer to go 5-4 up and he was 30-0 up serving for the set before Fed broke back after a few deuces.
5-5. 
6-6. Tiebreak.
UN-BE-FUCKING-LIEVABLE.
6-6 in the tiebreak.
One of the greatest points in my 31 years won by Federer to prolong the set.
Yowza.
Tea Bandage?
Djokovic takes the tiebreak 8-6. What sport.
