Djokovic to serve - 4-4

15-0 - Murray puts a bh long
15-15 - huge bh from Murray forces the error after defending well with the bh slic
15-30 - fh goes long in the rally - another needless UE from Djoko who's gone off the boil
30-30 - great serve and fh sets up the point and a fh kill at the net
40-30 - good hitting from Djoko and Murray's fh is just long
Game Djokovic - unreturnable serve

Djokovic leads 5-4

Murray is looking more solid from the baseline at the moment, but Djokovic really playing the big points well

It would be typical if Murray threw in a sloppy game now and Djokovic turned on the style now. I hope that's not the case. Andy wins the first service point 15-0

15-15 - good deep return, but a huge bh dtl winner from Djoko
15-30 - a bit passive from Murray, but Djoko nets a fh dtl
30-30 - too passive and did nothing to win the point, and eventually nets a bh slice
40-30 - Djoko makes Murray run side-to-side and although Murray gets back in the point, he nets a fh

Murray to serve - 5-6

15-0 - great bh pass from Djoko but Murray hits a stunning bh volley that Djoko can't get to properly
30-0 - 2nd serve return is long

Game Murray - unreturnable serve

6-6

That last serve from Andy was a 135 mph ACE.

Another couple of forehand errors from Djokovic and Murray has the comfort of a double minbreak. *5-1
