Toronto Masters 2008 QF: Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic
Permalink  

Andy has yet to beat NoDjo (head-to-head 0-4), three defeats on hard, one on clay, the latter the most recent (Monte-Carlo this year).  He may take it to three sets, for once, but I can't see that record changing to 1-4 here, to be honest, unless he does something really extraordinary tomorrow! hmm

Well he has tried to lull Novak ito a false sense of security by apparently playing crap today, but still winning.

I do actually anticipate a much better performance tomorrow, but still take Djokovic to win in three.

Unless there's a drastic change in the level of play from both men this week, Murray will get absolutely thrashed out on court.

And considering Murray's record against Djokovic, I have no confidence in anything other than a straight sets win for Djokovic, probably 6-3, 6-2, or something similar.

Murray to serve - *0-0

15-0 - Djoko bh goes long
15-15 - Djoko hits huge fh winner after dominating the point
30-15 - huge shank on a fh from Djokovic
40-15 - D fh into the net
40-30 - D fh return winner, clocked at 131 kph
Deuce - D dominates the point with huge groundstrokes and a fh winner when he approached the net
Adv Djoko - long rally, ends with Murray dragging a bh wide as he tried to up the pace
Deuce - even bigger shank from Djoko's fh ends up almost in the crowd... if only he plays like that all match
Adv Murray - lovely bh volley winner after he attacks the net with a bh
Game Murray - big serve, and bh winner

Murray leads 1-0

Not great, as Djokovic looks dangerous, but he held, and avoids the bagel!

Murray's in Davydenko's Quarter, and in Federer's half... with Gasquet in the R16... Querrey or PHM in round 2

Some fun draws as well, with Gasquet/Llodra in round 1 again, while the Kiefer/Blake semi in Toronto is a round 1 match here (with Blake in round 2)

Murray to serve - 3-1

15-0 - unreturnable serve down the middle
30-0 - massive bh dtl is almost a clean winner after a long drawn out rally
40-0 - Djoko nets fh after a short angled shot from Murray
Game Murray - Djoko nets a bh return

He's isn't doing anything special, but Djokovic is making tons of errors, just like Wawrinka did in the last round - much better from him today though

Murray to serve - 5-3

0-15 - long rally, ends with Murray going long with a routine backhand
15-15 - long rally, ad Djoko drags a fh wide for no real reason
30-15 - Djoko fh return into the net as he tries to hit it too hard
40-15 - stunning defensive from Murray with a low sliced forehand, and Djoko can only net as he attacks it
Game and Set Murray - Djoko bh return goes long

Murray leads 6-3

Good set from Murray... dreadful set from Djokovic.... Murray didn't really do a lot other than keep the ball in play, while Djokovic hit errors - he's 15 so far to just 6 from Murray, while Murray has hit 7 winners (don't remember that many though)
