Absolutely sensational run.

Murray's just far too prone to chucking in a bad game and against Novak it so often costs him. Rarely see Djokovic throw in games like Murray did in this set to get broken.

I fear that may have been the chance.

You need to get the fan/heatsink cleared of dust/hairs, take it apart (difficult) or blast it through with an air can (pc shop may do this for you)
You're actually recommended to do this every 3-6 months.

Problem is they design them now so you do need to take it apart to get to the fan. You have to be careful with the air can too - very easy to blow the ball bearings out and make it worse.

But yes, in reference to the original comment this is most likely the issue and it's easily remedied by the above solution. Just need a screwdriver and some air can spray, which can be bought for a few quid on Amazon.

It's funny being on the other end of the stick. Makes you realise how much of a mountain it is to climb back from a set and a break down against these two. When Andy is a set and a break up in a match and gets broken serving for the match, I usually contemplate the worst. But he usually always just breaks straight back or seals it on a tie-break. Djokovic is probably the one player who is capable of coming back from this situation against Andy, actually.

I think Djokovic will still win this but it's great to see Andy fighting back from the brink and getting under his skin. Will be in Djokovic's head if they meet in Melbourne, for sure.

Really the big points have been the difference today. They've had a similar amount of break chances but Djokovic has come out on top in every game.

a complete and utter gift from murray for the third time today. nothing has changed. murray is absolutely the valid number one. but he's not the best player in the world.
Well, not today anyway.

Well that was a disappointing series of errors from 40-15.
24  General Community / Andy Talk / Re: Doha Final: Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic on: January 07, 2017, 03:58 pm
You get the sense that Djokovic really wants this (needs it, even). Murray took his number one ranking and then beat him in the WTF final, and has been taking all the plaudits in the tennis (and sporting) world. Djokovic will be desperate to show who the best player really is by beating Murray here and in Australia, and get back to the top of the rankings.

Murray can't get near him on serve at the minute.

That was sensational defence and drop shot.

Thoroughly deserved, although surprised they gave it to him whilst he's still playing.

I'm still going to call him Andy and/or Murray if that's ok.

BBC don't seem to be aware it's an exho; reporting about a shock defeat for Murray in his opening tournament of the season.

Not a video but a lovely 30-minute radio piece by the BBC on Murray's rise from ambitious 12 year old to world number one.

^ Don't think anyone would disagree how big those two things were, in close proximity to each other, but neither can be claimed to have been 'overlooked' in anyway.
Yes, I said that.

The last game of the 2013 Wimbledon final will live with me forever. Nothing will ever match that.
