Didn't see the match, but an excellent win. Good to see Andy in another Masters final so soon after the last one. London buses anyone ?

 I would have said 2 years is quite a long wait for a player of Andy's calibre Bob

OK.  Scrap that. So focused on watching Kyle, I forgot that last weeks loss to Nole was a semi and not a final.

Final on Sunday :

(3) Andy Murray WR 4 vs (1) Novak Djokovic WR 1

H2H 8-17, 5-5 in finals (all Slams or Masters), 1-1 in Miami Masters finals.

Novak has won their last 6 meetings since Andy won Wimbledon 2013, the last being 6-2 6-3 in Indian Wells SF two weeks ago.

 Doesn't make good reading, but I'm going to discount the AO as I think that 

Andy was the better player and Djoker only won cos he played dirty. Hopefully Andy won't fall for that again. I'm not optimistic, but I think Andy can win if he plays his best.

I think Helen might have been saying that tongue in cheek - " Djoker only won cos he played dirty."

I felt Djoker was the favourite throughout the AO final - even when he was doing his rope-a-dope.

I think there is quite a big gap between them but windy conditions (or grass) closes the gap to some extent.

I hope "home" advantage will help Andy - shame there's only a light breeze forecast.

Looking at the stats on the semi - it's a good job Andy's 1st serve % was high - since he won only 35% on 2nd serve!

That's a blemish on what looks to have been a very pleasing win

 

 

Andy and that other fella due at 6 pm BST ( 1 pm local )

15-0

30-0

40-0

3-3

 

0-15

0-30

0-40

4-3 Murray

It's definitely helping andy that he has played more daytime matches than Novak who has played mostly evening matches
