Murray vs Djokovic
If Murray is ever to win this this should be his year. The stars are aligned for him in terms of momentum. Djokovic had a tough 5 setter against Del Potro and this should be a help for Murray.

10:06 Djokovic serving make weak angled volley that was telegraphed to Murray who runs it down and angles it past him. Novak double faults to love 30 and Murray loses a chance to be up 40 in the game. A bad net shot gives Novak the edge but a slip on the court coming up to the net to volley brings it back to deuce. Novak holds. Murray up and serving 5 to 4 first set.
10:15 Murray wins final serve game of the first set at love. If Djokovic stays at this level and Murray does as well it may be a win for Murray. Djokovic has to raise his level.
