    You played great but have a bit more reaction than that.
    Yeah wtf??? Is he in shock maybe? I was crying over his Wimbledon speech but this was kind of just blah. Maybe he's just trying to keep it classy.

    Screw keeping it classy, when you win a slam, you deserve to lay out an Azarenka-ish screech. All of the top three did, every single one of them.

    Remember Fed and Nadal's final point on their first slam? I was waiting for Murray to pull one of those......buzzkill.

    I think he was stunned by the entire course of events. I'm sure his confidence was shaken going into the 5th and all sorts of thoughts crept into his head. Also think from an emotion standpoint that nothing will match him winning Wimbledon whether it was going to be his first or last Slam won ... that is still the biggest Slam for him from a coverage and pressure standpoint.

    One of my major local books are refunding all h2h bets on Djokovic because he lost in 5. Wow, trying to get a figure.

    They commonly have these promos but rarely does it backfire likle this,

    Ivan Lendl needs to get a lot of credit here

    Murray's career turned around when Lendl came aboard

    Both these guys were exhausted after the game, Murray was cramping during the presentation too tired to celebrate and in shock i think.

    Djokovic out-aced Murray 7-5, got more breaks (10-9), and hit more winners (40-31). He also was a lot better in net approaches.

    All in all it was pretty even.
