I'm glad I'm not watching the match, checking the scoreboard every so often is embarrassing enough. Think I'll go in the garden it's stopped raining here. Perhaps that's what's needed in MC? 1-all second set.

Poor performance from Murray and he only got 4 games because Djokovic level dropped an awful lot in the 2nd set and Murray did improve a little bit. Still got a long way to go on the clay really and that showed the difference between someone like him and Djokovic who knows how to play on the stuff
