Have not seen Djokovic play this tourney, as he always seemed to get the night draws and was at work.

Is he looking like the dominant Djokovic or does Murray have a realistic shot? I believe Djokovic is 4-0 in finals and 5-0 in semis?

This Aussie Open has been one of the worst I've seen from a pure Tennis perspective - nothing would surprise me in the Final - an egg can easily be laid.

Joker will be a prohibitive favor tho.

Against Murray?

They're 2-2 in major finals. Djokovic has won both meetings in Melbourne. Djokovic has never lost a final in the Aussie Open, if that's what you're saying.

Murray has looked better the last few rounds, and has came through a much tougher draw to get here. People will suck off Djokovic, no doubt, and he will be a decent favorite in this match (probably -250), but this match is pretty close to 50/50, IMO.

Haven't really seen much of Nole, but it seems like Murray has better form right now. I feel like Nole does everything a little bit better than Murray and has more power, but Murray has a weird knack for lulling him to sleep. The US Open 2012 match was an outlier, though, it was a hurricane.

Djokovic should have lost the first two sets last night, on a night when Stan honestly was playing very poorly. SW made unforced error after unforced error and served like dogshit.

Djokovic had beaten pretty much no one to get to that point, unless you count Mr. Raonic, who pretty much loses to elite players like it's his job.

He really hasn't impressed me all too much this tournament. Murray has looked better. However, I'm not trying to act like Djokovic shouldn't be the favorite. But if Novak doesn't improve his game from the semi, he won't beat Murray.

Bump for the women's final.

It's amazing just how much Serena has dominated Maria.

15-0 since 2004.

30-3 in sets.

10 of those sets were 6-0 or 6-1.

Maria is playing very well. Serena is playing just alright for Serena. If there was ever a time for Maria to take a set (leave alone winning), it would be now.

Not getting my hopes up, though.

In and going for Serena.

She keeps this first set close, I think she has a great chance.
