For anyone who didn't watch it. Murray blows Australian open final, 1 set all, Murray 2-0 up in the 3rd set wins just 1 more game in the match, losing 6-7 (5-7), 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 0-6. Bottled it i'm afraid.

I'm not so sure he bottled it tbh. I think Djokovic just cranked up the consistency of his play and Murray couldn't live with it. It was unbelievable quality for the first 2 sets though. Something had to give and sadly it was Murray.

I don't think he bottled it. Those first two sets were staggeringly energy sapping. Why would he bottle it when he has already won 2 majors and the Olympics. He was worn down by a better 5 set player. He is still Scotland's top sportsperson by a country mile.

I personally think he blew it. Three forehand returns into the net on his own service game. Shots he makes every single day in training, then he starts arguing with himself. That continued until the end of the match. Mentally fucked.

I'm not saying he didn't blow it but that is different from bottling it. I think his game us back to his vest but following on from his out year he has some way to go before he us neutrally tough again to take on the likes oh jock over 5 sets. Those first two sets lasted 2 and a half hours of really hard hitting.
