ATP World Tour Finals -

Djokovic beats Murray in London thriller

Novak Djokovic battled to a 4-6 6-3 7-5 win over Andy Murray in yet another epic tussle that cemented the Serb’s world number one spot at the ATP World Tour Finals at the O2 in London.

After Murray took the first set with a collected display, Djokovic fought back to parity and took what initially seemed to be a deciding break in the third set as Murray started to flag.

But the world number three broke back late on to set up a grandstand finish, which saw Djokovic break once more before saving a break-back point at 6-5, holding on to claim victory in two hours and 34 minutes, taking his record against Murray to 10-7.

The Serb's place in the semi-finals is still not certain after Jo-Wilfried Tsonga fell to defeat to Tomas Berdych in the evening match in Group A, and all four players, even winless Tsonga, could still qualify.

Djokovic, who has two wins from two matches, faces Berdych on Friday when victory would guarantee top spot in the group. Murray, who like Berdych has one win, plays Tsonga knowing a straight-sets victory would clinch a semi-final spot.

"Another great match. Another great performance from both of us," Djokovic said afterwards. "I didn't expect anything less, other than a tough match that went down the wire and was decided in the last point.

"We have a great rivalry that hopefully will develop even more in the future."

"The last two minutes of the match were about what decided it," Murray admitted. "He broke at 15-40 and then I had 15-40 in the next game and didn't break."

Murray was clinical and classy in the opening set, breaking at the first time of asking as his aggressive, attacking rushes were backed up with some crisp passes.

He tossed in some aces too as Djokovic failed to muster a break point, while Murray almost broke him for a second time at 5-3, following that with a love hold to close out the set.

And he almost broke Djokovic early in the second as the world number one got his angles wrong from deep on a couple of occasions – two accurate winners saw to that, however, and the Serb held for 2-1.

You cannot let your guard down with Djokovic, and a sloppy service game from Murray midway through the second set saw the Serb break as a poor volley dropped long, a second error of game that featured more mistakes from the Briton than his entire first set.

Djokovic capably guarded that break to force a decider, which Murray started cleanly enough with an ace to build a hold to love.

It was an even battle, a war of attrition typical to these men as they exchanged baseline bullets and goaded each other to the net to close the points.

But another sloppy service game from Murray handed Djokovic a break at 2-1 as the Scot showed a worrying tendency to bunch his errors into consecutive points, repeatedly striking long as he lost his range from the baseline.

Djokovic defended his break with some fine winners off the lines, while Murray continued to make unforced errors although did manage to scramble a hold on his next service game after saving two break points in an epic duel.

He needed to break back though and Djokovic barely gave him a sniff as he served crisply and constructed his points with Murray-like guile. Meanwhile, his opponent was finding the net under no pressure as he scrapped to another testing hold off break point.

But, with Djokovic serving to take a 5-3 lead, Murray seemed to flick a switch in concentration, matching the Serb’s deliveries with his speed-killing returns, and correctly challenging on two occasions, the second yielding a vital break as Djokovic had gone wide.

From that position of authority Djokovic was suddenly serving to stay in the match, which he did under some pressure as Murray sensed victory.

Despite the apparent swing in momentum, Murray was ultimately the architect of his own downfall as he allowed a rogue shout from the crowd to distract him while serving at 5-5, netting his subsequent follow-up and broken after sending a drive long from deep.

It was not close to being over though as, with Djokovic serving for the match, Murray earning two break-back points as he hustled the Serb from the baseline.

But Djokovic found another gear, some fine serving setting up match point, which was taken somewhat inauspiciously as Murray send an errant drive long.

   The Guardian, Wednesday 7 November 2012

The next great rivalry is up and stumbling. In their seventh contest of the year, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic hit more highs and lows than a doo-wop band, and it was no less entertaining for that.

This post Federer-Nadal shootout has the key ingredient of any genuine sporting head-to-head: uncertainty. There was plenty of it in Wednesday's match, which Djokovic won at the death, and there is no shortage of it every time they step on to a court.

Pressed to back judgment with money, the prevailing sentiment might be with Murray on his favourite surface, indoors on a hard court – yet he lost to him the only other time they had met in such conditions, in Madrid five years ago – and anybody's guess on clay or grass.

Under the lovely riverside tent in Greenwich, Djokovic won 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in just over two-and-a-half hours to take a 2-0 winning log into the third and final match of the Group A round robin of the World Tour Finals against Tomas Berdych on Friday. He leads Murray 10-7 overall, 4-3 for 2012.

Murray, who beat Berdych comfortably enough in the first round, must defeat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Djokovic's first-round victim, in his final match, but there remains the wickedly slim possibility that the maths could yet exclude him from the semi-finals.

So, they left the O2 Arena in contrasting spirits, the winning Serb exalting in the continued flowering of their personal duel at the summit of the game, the losing Scot struggling to come to terms with 44 unforced errors and a return to the growl-and-despair mien that blighted his development en route to that unforgettable win over Djokovic in the final of the US Open.

Berdych beat Tsonga 7-5, 3-6, 6-1 in the night match – and that put a scintilla of pressure back on Djokovic, who would have favoured a Tsonga win. Either way, as Djokovic and Murray reiterated yesterday, it is best to make the progress safe by winning every match.

If that match was the needle-point on which this relationship now spins, serious jousting either side of it makes them about even for the year, with Murray moving out of Djokovic's shadow to prevail at the Olympics before his long-time friend hit back by saving five match points to win in Shanghai.

As Djokovic charitably observed: "He could have easily been sitting here as a winner of today's match." But he was not, although Murray contested the view that poor decision-making cost him the match.

Asked if he regretted going for and bungling a high-risk serve-and-volley on break point at 3-2 in the second set, he said: "He serve and volleyed on the break point in the game before and hit the back end of the line. I volleyed in the next game and missed the volley by a couple of centimetres."

The unspoken suspicion was that he was thus indulging in what-you-can-do-I-can-do machismo, although he did not see it that way.

"When someone's blocking returns and chipping returns, normally you can get in close to net and make it hard. He chipped the return, so I got the return that I wanted. I would have liked it maybe a little bit higher, but there are decisions you make in matches. If they come off, you get told you're a genius. If you miss them, then you're an idiot. That was just one of those ones that didn't work today."

Murray is no idiot. On Wednesday he might have wished for a few more moments of genius to go with those passages when his focus seemed to desert him, especially in the second set when Djokovic was roused from his first-set slumber.

In the opening exchanges, Murray looked irresistible, moving with ridiculous ease into nearly every shot; thereafter, uncertainty invaded his ground strokes, his normally exquisite lob converted from killing winner to liability.

The third set was tight, as both players acknowledged, but the ending was a frustrating mess for Murray. "The last two minutes probably decided it," he admitted. "He broke from 15-40, and then I had 15-40 next game and didn't break. So that was the moment that decided the match."

Probably he is right. But that anxious passage did not exist in isolation. It was the culmination of a fight, many rounds of which were within Murray's grasp, three of which were snatched away from him at crucial moments. Still, there is the comforting near certainty that they will continue to test each other at the highest level in the biggest tournaments for several years to come, two prodigies, only a week apart in age, who have risen through the ranks together and, at 25, are operating near the peak of their powers.

"Of course it's special," Djokovic said. "We know each other so well. The friendship goes back a long time, since we were 11 years old and more or less we developed into professional tennis players at the same time. Hopefully this rivalry will evolve and we can have many more great matches on the Tour."

As close as it was, this match was not among their greatest contests. Given the extraordinary levels they reached in the semi-final at Melbourne this year, then in the final in New York, that is hardly surprising. If they touch those heights again, we will all be blessed.

Jonny Marray's fairytale continues, meanwhile. The British Wimbledon champion and his Danish partner, Frederik Neilsen, secured a semi-final place by beating the title-holders Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor 7-6 (3), 4-6, 12-10 in and hour and 41 minutes.

"We were aware of the fact we were underdogs," Nielsen said, "the lowest-ranked team, a special exemption due to a loophole. At the same time we're comfortable being here. We weren't here just to make up the numbers."
