Mark Connolly Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Great hold. They should really get the ATP doctors working on the cure for cancer, given how many times they bring Novak back from serious injury within 3 mins. This break is only helping one of these guys too, and it isn't Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well that's that until tomorrow then. Will work out in Novaks favour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Interesting to note Novak`s low conversion rate on break points today. If that was Andy he`d be getting slated on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Djokovic was desperate to get off the court there. If this weather doesn't come in the next ten minutes Murray will rightly be raging, that last shot Novak played was a tired one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I don't see how that's overly bad for Murray. If he comes out and blows the second set tomorrow he only has himself to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the correct decision. It'll be an interesting one tomorrow that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Haha presumably they're showing it on ITV2-we've just got back to live shots on Eurosport and we can see the rain. Fair enough. Murray has to take the advantage here and come out all guns blazing when they get back on the court. Get back to 2-2 having had a rest and you never know!

Diamonds are Forever Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If you'd offered Murray a one and a half set shoot-out to decide who goes through I'm sure he would have taken that before the match. Djokovic will be annoyed that this match isn't over. On another point, I've often wondered why they don't start matches earlier on days like this. We've had 7 and a half sets of tennis today and at most we'll get 8 played due to the light. Surely if you're planning the event you allow for two full 5 set matches to be played? What is the problem with just starting an hour or two earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 He comes out tomorrow in his favoured position, having to receive the first game in the match. Murray sitting at 64% first serves, and still needs to improve as Djokovic's returning is superb. Djokovic was looking a bit perplexed, and an incredible hold from Murray just before the break. Without the rain Murray may well have taken that set. The match wouldn't have been able to finish anyway, as it was overcast and on a clear night we get play till about 9.30pm (local time). Both players would have straight setted either of the other players in the other semi final. The level of play in this semi final made the other one look almost amateur.

Diamonds are Forever Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hope not but think that's his chance gone I don't see that at all. In his last 3 service games Murray was down 0-40, broken to 15, then down 15-40. To be in at 3-3 is very fortunate. I still think Djokovic will win, but I couldn't see Murray winning that 4th set tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kincardine Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hope not but think that's his chance gone Not sure. I was sure he was out of it at 2 sets down. Now? This comment seems most apt: If you'd offered Murray a one and a half set shoot-out to decide who goes through I'm sure he would have taken that before the match. Djokovic will be annoyed that this match isn't over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChoppeReid Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Should be an interesting game tomorrow. My bet is that Djokovic will probably take the match pretty quickly. But if Murray can win the 4th set the pressure on Djokovic is going to be intense and anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Murray turned absolutely awesome in the 3rd set - from being on the verge of a break point down that would have almost sealed his fate to rallying back to take the set was absolutely breathtaking. Don't think he did a lot wrong in the first set then the second set got away from him and you thought he had no chance but now its all to play for. I think the delay in play will favour Novak although others have said it was good for Murray. When Murray turns it on Djoko looks rattled but yet pulls the most outrageous shots out of the hat, they are a pair of titans of the sport just now and its so fantastic to watch.
