Tennis 2016

[RichC]

I think this could be a very quick set now. Needs all the rest he can get to give it a proper go against Djok

[Buzzo]

I'm not buying Raonics injury being all that bad.

[RichC]

If it's a proper groin injury he'd be completely ****ed.

[RichC]

Double break

[Buzzo]

If it's a proper groin injury he'd be completely ****ed.

Exactly. I've done my groin and I could barely stand up.

[RichC]

Same it was bloody agony

What a lob from Murray

[Buzzo]

Murray masterclass now

[RichC]

Surely no way back for Raonic, even fully fit I don't think he'd be able to handle this level of tennis from Murray

[Buzzo]

This is great. A heroic battle, tested to the limit and gets to showboat home for the final set.

[RichC]

Murray's return of serve is ridiculously good.

[RichC]

Clinical from Murray in the end, wins the last set 6-2

Djokovic is going to be a tough ask

[Buzzo]

Great win.

He had to dig very deep there and held his nerve and composure amazingly well.

[Shaggy]

5th Aussie Open final in 7 years.

[captainfog]

Not hit his top level yet. He'll need to in the final that's for sure, Novak is looking unstoppable.

[Buzzo]

I think Murray needs to win the first 2 sets. Even then Djokovic has a chance, but to beat him you need to get a start on him. Murray starts slam finals quite well, but he needs to find a way to hang in if things aren't going his way. Djokovic didn't play well against Simon, so there is a chance.

Is there a tougher challenge in sport?

5 Aus Open final defeats... He's also due a bit of luck!
