Australian Open
19 January - 1 February 2015
Djokovic N.(Srb) (1) 3 7-6 (7-5) / 6-3 / 6-0
Murray A. (Gbr) (6) 1 6-7 (4-7)
Today we had the last act from Australian Open Men' Singles Finals in Melbourne which brough us face to face Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murray.
We had two thrilling first sets both ending up in tiebreak, one for each side. Djokovic suffered a small hand injury in first set after a fall but despite that he won 7-5 in tiebreak.
As we all expected, Andy started the 2nd act way better and, after a very entertaining set with many turn overs from each side, he finished winning it by 7-4 in tiebreak.
First two sets were very balanced and it was really hard to predict who the winner will be. In the third one Murray had a good start again but Nole started to feel better the game and made a splendid match until the end. He took the lead 2-1 at sets with a recorfortant 6-3 win and he finished with an awesome champion attitude by winning the last set by an incredible 6-0.
It was a nice final to watch with an expected result, still the final result could have been different if Murray would have put in valor the chances he had to break out.

As a personal thought, I've expected at first to see Murray determined and win at least one set, which happen, and at second to have Nole an easy battle within last sets, expecting a win with -1.5 sets handicap, which also happen.
It was a good match to watch, especially first two sets were incredible, and hope to see more such matches for whole year.
Congrats to Djokovic who was crowned champion for the 5th time at Australian Open, a pretty big achievement, keep it that way!
