Come on Andy!

Was Djokovic that excited to be in a final?

Murray needs Lendl back as his coach. He can push Murray to get that extra 5% which is the difference at that level. Djokovic was smart to recruit Boris Becker as his coach. Murray is at least getting near his best again.

Murray was beaten today, not because of a lack of ability but because he didn't have the mental strength needed for the occasion. Djokovic's levels dropped and instead of capitalising, Murray dropped his levels and once Djokovic stepped it up again, Murray couldn't respond.

Think talk of Murray being back to his best may be premature. He got thrashed by an 18 year old today.

Enough about his private life, how's he doing in the tennis?

Isner is the most boring tennis player ever, he can't play at all, just has a huge serve as he's 9 foot tall.

You're right it was quite amusing at the toss to see the difference in height. Ward acquitting himself so far 4-4 in the first set

What a fantastic match Jamie Ward putting together here, if you're not watching (BBC2 Red Button) you're missing a classic. He was 2 sets down but now 12-12 in the final set.
Not saying which way it will go as i havent a clue!!!

Every year I keep waiting for a really savvy coach to come along who has the ideal training approach (and match strategy) to counter the game's hit-it-as-hard-as-you-can-all-the-time trend.

I reckon that the single-handed backhand is going to disappear before I do - so sad that tennis has lost its grace and style. (Tradition-loving cricket fans will hopefully be on my side).

Didn't see the match, but, well done Jamie. Isner's another of the dreadfully dull baseline hugging big goofy automatons.....

Murray is still not right. At his best he can compete with Djokovic. I think his coaching set up is wrong. He has the game, but his mentality just isn't there.

Murray has just destroyed Rafa on his "home" in Madrid

Beating him 6 - 3 6 - 2
