Finally, good for everybody to speed it up a little bit

...and he takes the set. Nole looks better now, the metronomic quality is back in his groundstrokes. Andy making more errors now.

Murray has got some chances and half-chances. He just hasn't been taking them...

Nole breaks again. Four more games and he is there.

GP may have been right. Nole certainly not looking tired now.

Nole has improved his level and found his composure, now playing very well

Nole breaks yet again; two breaks up now with the finish line firmly in sight. Most likely this one is done.

Coming back home from church atm. Go NOLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody of us, Nole fans, surely has a heart on "right" place and reinforced spirit

Nole

Nole looks and stands like a Champion

I glad to hear that Murray takes this bravely. They both are great fighters and deserve I would not mind see them in this order a couple of times at this moment

Godzilla by far better than Morybundus

NOle never let go of his trophy during his speech unlike Murray who gave his plate away before he gave speech.

Beautiful scenes of Nole doing the honourary lap with his glorious trophy

NOLE IS THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Champagne time, cheers to Nole and all Nole's fans around the Universe

Three flutes of champagne later.... here we go again!!!!!!!!!!

So, these both look as contenders for next hc sessions. Their level is by a margin better of others.

Nole won absolutely deservedly. He had already 4 BP in the first set, but lost a bit his focus in TB. Decisive moment was 2nd TB and then that he could step up and improved his FH. Gradually he became more confident and started to reign on the court. When Murray´s first serve dropped and also faded out with his FH he was not able to catch with Nole. Nole took control and dominated in the 4th. Nole looked that he could play other 5 sets. When Nole plays with his confidence it is by a margin higher level of Murray.

Of course he did, just watching 3rd set replay, more guts, more fire, more belief. Murray can only last for 2 sets in his best mode. He's got the fitness but not the stamina.
His legs are too big for his style of play at the moment.

I am so proud of Nle. Need to have stg to eat, this champagne is taking over me
Now where are those peper crackers......

Just in case you all forgot.....
NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

congrats to all Novak Djokovic fans. Murray had some chance but he couldn't take it. Perhaps he started to feel the exhaustion of the semis towards the 3rd and 4th sets. But good performance to beat Fed.

It was one good AO.

The best tennis : It still the 1st set played by Wawrinka in the 4th round by a long distance.

Tennis is in a better place with Nole, as opposed to Murray at the top.
Fortune favours the brave.
Pushin gtennis does not deserve to rule.

NOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Exactly. Murray will be competitive at Wimbledon though. I could see there him and Fed as a replacement that Nole will win FO in the final with Morybundus and Nole´s win in UO.

Rotla, that set was written off by Nole very early due to his shoes, do believe it. But yes this match had many ups and downs and Stan played really well, his the best match ever for sure.

Fed is still best on grass. It should be so. That trophy belongs to a single-backhander .

Glad Nole won his by beating Nadal, though

I thought that I had already written what I can exactly read as yours response SHBH is beauty itself and yesterday I managed one which was practically the same as Fed´s. Only consistency is missing

Lendl looks dead in that last game

Murray and his on-court antics and sufering faces, pricceless and hilarious 2 MPs!

Ivan is not a fool, he just recognized who is the best

He only wishes he took Nole on before Marian

well, Paul, Nole and us are going to have some sweet dreams tonight, poor Andy back to crazy horses

Yeah, yeah, Marian looked a bit slimmer and with a notebook. The pressure is surely on him and besides Ivan does not sleep and Marian does not wear this shirt yet, so ...

Ivan did what he could. You can't ask for more

Ivan got toughened from his house. 6 women, no wonder, he knows what the pain is

He sure does, even I wouldn't swap . Easier to win Wimbledon

I'm not into number-crunching but thought this bit of statistics says everything:

Net points:

Djokovic 35/41
Murray9/15
