How is Milos so bad in tiebreaks?

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
6-4, 7-6, 7-6 makes it look a hell of a lot closer than it was. Raonic gave as good as he got but has just been outclassed today.

Hes the best player bar Isner in the tour at tie breaks and until today Murray had only beaten him once in the last 7 I think?

Djokovich lucky he went out when he did because Murray would have torn him to pieces on this form.

Yeah that about sums it up.

A good result that will cheer me up for at least a day. :) Hopefully a Querrey can knock out Novak in the next few majors as well so Andy can gather up more wins.

I don't think Murray could have played at this high a level against Djokovic. Too many mental demons.

Djokovic has won their last 5 meetings in slams. That's a Nadal/Federer type situation.

I not saying Murray would have lost, but it wouldn't have been a demolition.

Congrats Murray, Raonic did okay but Murray was insane today. Reminded me of the 2013 final when he completely dominated Djokovic.

Murray in a Wimbledon final is a deadly combination of wanting it more PLUS crowd factor. He's virtually unstoppable.

It's okay Federer will keep playing until he's 50 because he makes like $150 million a year in endorsements without even winning anything.
