Murray wins in 4 sets and plays Djokovic in the final.

Hopefully Djokovic hammers him!

Looks like you will get your wish! 5-0 down in 2nd set and a set down!

Muzz stuffed in straight sets in the final, as usual.

First player to get to three Grand Slam finals and not win a set.

Disappointed for Murray but some consolation in Djorkovic winning as he would be a close second to Murray in my favs. Glad to see Nadal and Federer out of the reckoning in this tournament long may it continue.

Djorkovic was in control today, and his defence was unreal from the baseline, looked fav for every point in the long rallies. Murrays first serve was getting in enough. It gave djorkovic the advantage to be more aggressive.

Hard to see murray coming back from this, hasnt even won a set in his 3 finals, and didnt come close today. Only 23 but US open is only realisitic chance this yr as hardcourt is his best surface, too much pressure at wimbledon so its hard to see it happening.

Andy Murray - British to Scottish in three sets

nrico2006 · January 31, 2011, 08:52:12 AM

Murray never got going yesterday, first server was poor and made far too many unforced errors. Djokovic played well, but you just get the feeling that Murray throws the towel in mentally when he isn't on top form. His whole body language and attitude yesterday in the third set was not something you would see from the top players in a similar scenario.

Muzz played rightly today but beaten in straight sets, I honestly dont think he will win a Grand Slam. He is the same age as Nadal and Djokovic is only a year older I think. Great match between him and Federer in the other semi.

Another Fed/Nadal classic in the making down under, 1 set each currently.

Federer must really hate Nadal!

Get ready to avoid the media. British (for the moment) Murray Djokovic 1 set all, Murray has just broken in the third.

Back on serve, for now, dont mind Murray and if he beats Djokovic & Nadal you can't say he didn't earn it.

Don't like Murray at all. All this talk of "The Big Four" nonsense. There is no big four . . . it is a big 3! Murray does not get into that group until he wins one. He is behind the other 3 by a good bit when they are on their game. However if Djokovic and Nadal have bad days he has a slight chance of beating them.

Not entirely true in fairness.
