What odds would you have got on both to lose serve in the first two games? It's been quite some start, one game away from the first set for Murray now.

Djokovic was 2/1 to break, Murray was 7/2, so about 12/1.

Set Murray, 6-3

Great set for Murray. Didn't play his best tennis but didn't need to while Djokovic was struggling with the pace of the ball. Been a far more even game since 4-1 and Djokovic is right back in it now.

What a point :eek:

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jun 2016 at 15:06

What... a... point! :cool:

Superb to be a set up, it's still a long way to go though. Djokovic has been a bit off so far but that's partly due to the pressure that Murray has put him under. I was a bit surprised in the last game of the first set when the umpire didn't give it as a replay due to the late call - however from the replays it looked like the call was just after Djokovic had started his swing.

That point was unbelievable to bring up break point.

That's why you need to take every glimmer of an opportunity against Djokovic. Didn't convert the break then gets broken next game.

1 set all.

Edit: Crowd are really helping Djokovic at the moment, Murray doesn't have much support at all.

This is going to be quite a slog.

el_dazza · 5 Jun 2016 at 15:51

Only looking like one winner from here.

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jun 2016 at 15:54

Atrocious from Murray. This is becoming a very easy win for Djokovic.

It looks that way now.

Murray doesn't need a coach, he needs a psychiatrist. I've never seen such a mentally weak player ranked so high.

I have a feeling Murray's going to win in 4 sets

Better make that 5.

Looks like he now might need six.

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Jun 2016 at 16:29

Switching off. The fact he's now found an issue with the overhead camera tells me his head's completely gone and this'll be a 6-0 set.

Murray has always been a mental midget, so nothing new here. Standard melt down.

His mental game doesn't mirror his physical ability.

Murray lost. Congrats Djok.

Cosimo · 5 Jun 2016 at 16:42

Murray going to need lot more than that.

Cosimo · 5 Jun 2016 at 16:45

Djokovic sails on majestically.
