ATP WORLD CHAMPION - ANDY MURRAY!!!!!!!!!! Beats Nole 6'3, 6'4 to be World #1

[Sallydaisy]

C'mon Andy!!!!!!!

:boogie:

[pabbers]

Is it 3.30pm? Mr P says the Beeb says 6pm. So is 3.30 the doubles?

[Sallydaisy]

Is it 3.30pm? Mr P says the Beeb says 6pm. So is 3.30 the doubles?
I'm probly wrong, saw a time somewhere. Fe2l free to change it.

[LC the fan]

Announced as 6pm. 3 precious extra hours for Andy to recover.
Hope he sleeps better than I have done, just couldn't sleep after watching that epic against Milos

[RosieBear]

So much on the line tonight, and it's Andy with most to prove. It doesn't really matter that Andy wasn't expecting to get the ranking until next year, or that he will probably get it back again - the fact is Andy got the ranking and the last thing he wants is for that to look like a blip, and for Novak to restore the 'normal order'.
It's going to hurt for sure, but grit your teeth Andy for one last push - he's going to have to dig as deep physically and mentally as he ever has, but nobody ever said being world number 1 was going to be easy, to be the best you've got to beat the best - but you CAN do it Andy!! 1 last epic fight to achieve a career-long ambition. GO Andy!! #alwaysbelieve :superman:

[goldfish]

If Novak wins today, Andy knowing that he has an Olympic medal and got to the semis of the DC will only add to the pain. So fingers crossed he can pull an extra something out of the bag. We all know that he will perform to the absolute best of his abilities, physical and mental, today and whatever happens, in our eyes he will be the top player who has given everything he has this year. Thank you Andy for a fabulous ride in 2016.

[Stell]

Whoever wins the first set tends to win the match. I'm hoping it'll be Andy and Novak doesn't do what he did in 2013, the last time they played there at the World Tour Finals, and come back from a set down to win.

[dewster99]

If Andy wins tonight I'd consider as one of his greatest tournament victories. Up there with the slams, DC and olympics. The adversity he's overcome and the sheer physicality of his matches at the end of a long year and busy period striving for world no1 is mind blowing. Couple that with the disgusting procession through to the final from Nole, a victory here would be so sweet

[themass15]

Doubles 3.30 p.m. Singles Final 6 p.m. I will be there Block 106 2nd row. Come on Andy!!!!!!!

[mickeypops]

I so want Andy to win this! Ending the year at number 1 will be an amazing feat. It comes down to two questions I think. `1. How far along his "rehab" from whatever demons have been haunting him is Novak? and 2. How knackered is Andy from his extraordinary efforts this week?

We will find out this evening!

[lovetennis]

On the train now, making my way to see Andy. It's going to be tough but we have to believe he can do it. One last big push for the year. My seat isn't great, front row of the upper tier but I'll still be flag waving and screaming my head off for Andy :GBflag:

I'm "well jell" as they say!

[Rosalind]

I'm so nervous. Not sure much the tournament win in itself but the no 1 position. The crowd will be loud for him - even the fickle 02 crowd. It went up a notch in noise yesterday to a real roar at times. Novak will have to contend with that. But I am fearful....

:grouphug:

[rimarli]

Where have the wrist,elbow etc injuries go? They have miraculously disappeared. Let's hope that the stands are not full of swarthy Serbs as was were the stands at RG.

[Helen40]

I'm really rooting for Andy. If he can play an aggressive A game, he's got a good shot. He's not been on that game consistently all week though, so I'm nervous. Also Nole has had a MUCH easier group and matches. (Can't believe how badly Kei played compared to the way he played when he was playing Andy). I really hope the crowd will get behind him and lift him.I'm nervous but hopeful.

[Jane]

All the very very best of luck to Andy :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

[JerryD]

I was so sure that we would be here today that the only t-shirt I have left is the GB vs Serbia Davis cup one. I knew I would need it. Would have looked at bit daft if it would have been other players in the final. It's easy to worry with how hard fought murry's battle with milos was and how easy djoko's win seemed. I do think that tiredness aside it is good to come through a test like that, it builds confidence and makes it easier mentally to fight back from behind next time. You are prepared for what comes next. Djoko's match didn't give him any day tactics st that. He said kei wasn't himself, same as Goffin, he wouldnt have survived a real test. It was odd as when he was well ahead in a he first set, he seemed to get distracted. Then annoyed, for no reason. Then dropped serve. He won't get away with that in this match. I'll be there shouting all the way through again, but I'm sure Murray will win it :)

[patlowe]

Whoever wins the first set tends to win the match. I'm hoping it'll be Andy and Novak doesn't do what he did in 2013, the last time they played there at the World Tour Finals, and come back from a set down to win.
Errr...Andy v Milos yesterday????

[HoopGirl]

Whoop whoop!
Here we go - another first for Andy!
His team will remind him what he needs to beat Novak and then repair and replenish him so he can turn up and play his best.
The crowd will have an important role here in infusing Andy with energy. He needs to tap into his deep energy levels - reminding them he can reacquaint with them again in his rest period!
Most of all he needs to be aggressive, focused and ruthless and play Novak at the mind games he so likes to play!
He deserves to be number 1! Let's go Andy - we all believe!

[lynne]

The Very, Very, Very Best of Luck Andy!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[patlowe]

I've been trying to gather my thoughts. I have many conflicting ones at the moment. We have our 'dream final'. We all hoped for that and I had no doubt in my mind that as Nole is there for the taking, Andy would do precisely that. But,(sorry! there is a but...) that was until Andy had his marathon with Milos yesterday. It's so unfortunate it has worked out like this. I have every faith in Andy who will do his very best tonight...and if he comes through I will be beyond ecstatic for him and us. But it is such a lot to expect from him...even his endurance has to stop somewhere? I also said earlier that I will not be too upset if it doesn't happen tonight, nor will I be...disappointed and regretful yes, but devastated, no. Anna, I do agree with most of your earlier post and I get where you are coming from, but I don't think it will look like a blip in the least if Andy loses tonight.(Especially under the present circumstances). All we have to do is remind ourselves of how outstanding he has been to get to precisely this point. I mean, it's simply beyond words. And it's comforting to hold onto the fact that he will regain #1 next year if indeed he ever loses it! Sorry, these are just my jumbled, conflicting thoughts! Anyway, enough talk about if he loses...time for the positives! We are going into this with the view Andy is going to perform one more miracle...just one more match Andy! Let's go!! I know those of you at the o2 will cheer him home too!

[tennis890]

Woke up feeling nervous, today. First thing on my mind was the match! Will be watching at home with my brother, cannot wait.

Very jealous of the people that have tickets. If we lived closer to London I would have deffo come! Cheer loud you lucky people :cheer::cheer::cheer:

The very best of lucky Andy, know you can do it :trophy::GBflag:

[LC the fan]

GO ANDY
Remember who you are and what you've achieved this year
Remember the 2012 US Open final - how you pulled it out of the bag then
Remember the last points of the 2013 Wimbledon final
Remember that Novak has still not proved that he is fully back - he hasn't been challenged
Three Sets of tennis then a nice long rest with the family
Every strain, every sinew You know you can do it

We're all with you...all the way :trophy: YOU CAN DO THIS

[Josephine]

Need all the optimists on here to do their thing and encourage us all. (Sadly I'm not in that category - by nature, not choice!)

I watched recording of the Djoko / Kei match on Fast Forward - but personally I thought Djoko was playing clinically and looked very confident. I don't think Kei could have done much whatever. Djoko looked very good and has had a stroll through his easier draw and schedule.

Raonic played much better than Kei did, but Andy really didn't play well for a set and a half yesterday (loads of errors and lack of energy) and then stepped it up and somehow fought through. In his own words he is physically and mentally very tired and saying he will give his all. But he knows he will not have a whole lot in reserve.

So rational thought must make Djoko firm favourite. I think it is a shame that they did not meet while Andy was playing really well in the middle of his streak and so could have beaten him then. If Djoko takes back No 1 today, then can be seen as a blip that Andy had it (not by anyone on here). I know he can get it back next year but year end No 1 has extra significance.

So I do have doubts about this match but am hoping beyond hope Andy can do it and will be supporting him like mad.

GO ANDY!! DO YOUR BEST!

[JAMES4578]

I certainly always try and be positive but realistically I think it will be tough for Andy today, that's not to say he can't win but it's a question of whether Murray has enough in reserve to produce a high level performance which shall likely be required to see off Djokovic. Nole has certainly had the easier route and whilst not always decisive Andy has played a lot of tennis the past few months. Sure he knows what he has to do but he still has to execute. Nonetheless whilst Nole has shown better form still some vulnerability I think and just got to hope Andy can take his chances. It is the last match of the season and hopefully determination and the adrenaline will be enough to ensure he maintains the top ranking,if Andy gives it his best shot will certainly have no complaints. However think more imperative this time that he has a good start to put the pressure on Djokovic,will be difficult trying to come from behind.

[patlowe]

A different match up today. Every match produces different challenges...look how he dealt with Stan's challenge! Andy will wear his 'there is no way I'm going to lose this match' suit today! I believe.

[patlowe]

....... If Djoko takes back No 1 today, then can be seen as a blip that Andy had it (not by anyone on here)......
That is the crux I suppose. I certainly wouldn't see it a blip. Crucial we ignore the press etc in the (unlikely I hope) event of that happening.

[RosieBear]

Just spent a fortune on viagogo so I'm off to the final - just had to be there for him. Andy is going to need the crowd so much, and I'm going to whip up an absolute frenzy!!!!! C'mon Andy!!! :GBflag::GBflag::GBflag::tennis::superman::cheer:: yahoo:

[patlowe]

BRILLIANT ANNA!! Good for you!! Go for it girl!! :GBflag::yahoo::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Alis]

I wonder what odds I could get on Djoko calling a MTO at a crucial moment in the match?

[rouges]

Good Luck Andy :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup :Just do what you did in Olympics and the DC Finals. Think only 3 sets and not 5.
Go Anna, you go girl now I know the support is going to be massive.:bravo::thanks::lol::clap::highfive:

[Teresa]

I wonder what odds I could get on Djoko calling a MTO at a crucial moment in the match?

About the same odds I would give you on my little dog leaving a biscuit alone, if I left the room.....!!!

So hope he pulls it off, but not expecting it to be honest. I think he is going to be too knackered.

[jackie55]

Whatever happens today, Andy will always be my No.1:thumbup:

Errr...Andy v Milos yesterday????
That stat is between Andy and Nole. Whichever of them, in the past, has won the first set, has gone on to win the match.

YAYYYY!!!!!

[Jan]

Andy has to bring his first serve with him today.
I will truly be amazed if he has enough left (but I would love to be amazed!).
Cheering from the sofa!
Good luck Andy!
:GBflag::superman:

[Malaiseous]

I've got a great feeling.

I know he's tired and that the head to head is heavily in favour of Djok but I just think that Andy comes into the match buoyed by more confidence and determination than he has ever felt at any other point of his career. If anything, being tired may help him shorten points and play aggressively against Djok. The way he should always play Djok.

[patlowe]

Whatever happens today, Andy will always be my No.1:thumbup:
Everyone's #1! (on here anyway!) Mats Wilander would agree with you too...." It's his moment. To me Murray remains #1 whatever happens".... And that's the bottom line. And that's the way it stays for me.

[tennis890]

Ready on the sofa with my union jack flag lol C'mon Andy you can do this :GBflag:

[Mandiemoo]

Not really got any words, just please let there be justice in the O2 tonight. Our number one never changes.

C'mon Muzz, 1 more time!

[supergran]

Nervous and worried but know he'll give his all. Hope the crowd lift him but not sure they will. Still we all support and love him and are willing him over the finishing line. COME ON ANDY....LET'S GO!

[Teresa]

Watching the intros. I give it about 3 minutes before I am hiding.

[lynne]

There is only One Person Deserves to win this Title.....and we all know who that is!!!!!....Give it your best shot Andy!!:thumbup:

The crowd seem to have been behind him this week, which makes a change for the O2, I personally havent heard it as loud as it was when I was there on Monday for his opening match.:cheer:

Novak walks out.

Followed by Andy.

Well done Rosie :) if I'd known BB might have been with you! We were pricing tickets late last night but he didn't have anyone to go with him!! I couldn't come on here as I hadn't yet watched the match in detail! Loved it! Is there anyone who battles better than Andy? What a guy! I am completely behind him winning tonight, if ever his mind needs to kick in as well as his body, then it's tonight!

Unfortunately I have to go out at 6:35 and will hide from the score....... so

Go Forumers :GBflag:

Go Andy :boogie:

[Teresa]

Djokovic starting with his mind games already, taking the No 1's chair.

[Bardot]

Andy wins the toss and elects to serve.

[Stell]

Andy wins the coin toss and elects to serve first.

[HoopGirl]

Novak really needs to be put into his place- big time!

[supergran]

Rosie Bear. Well done and keep up the support.

[Mandiemoo]

Enjoying Stefan Edberg comments. Tim supportive as per usual.

Cmon Muzz!

[Bardot]

Coach of the year should know. :thumbup:

Magnus Norman ‏@normansweden
@svenja_mastro No problem fitness wise i think

[JennieF]

I'm nervous, excited, hoping and praying, full of admiration, and no matter what the outcome is, Andy has done himself, his team, his family, GB and us, his loving fans, proud - so proud.

[pabbers]

Ironically Milos was responsible for Andy's sudden rise to #1 let's hope he's not also responsible for his fall.
Gooooooo Andeeeeeeee!!!!

[Stell]

Edberg hopes Andy will win it.

[mickeypops]

And we're off!!

[Stell]

Starts with a double fault.

[jagmad]

Andy wins the toss and elects to serve.

Sure you didn't mean Andy doesn't give a T... where Novak sits

[Mandiemoo]

Lendl. That face. Impressive in its rigidness.

Cmon Muzz!

[mickeypops]

Some tired looking serving... gulp....

[Stell]

1 - 0.

[Bardot]

A hold with 2DFs, good stuff. 1-0

[mickeypops]

Phew, manages to hold despite 2 DFs...

[Stell]

1 - 1.

[mickeypops]

Good serving fromDjoko, 1-1.

[JAMES4578]

Wasn't most convincing service game but still good hold, come on! Easy game for Djokovic though

[Mandiemoo]

Kim. Gorgeous hair. Sparkly top. Looks nervous.

Cmon Muzz!

[Bardot]

Tarry so and so. 40-30

[Stell]

2 - 1.

[Bardot]

Good hold. 2-1

[mickeypops]

Nice hold despite the net cord! 2-1.

[JAMES4578]

Andy more solid there and good point for 2-1 after Djokovic rather jammy with that net cord-keep going!

[david1610]

Phew! The key for me is going to see how Andy reacts to the first adversity in the match.
C'mon Andy!

[Stell]

Castle playing spot the celebrity.

[Stell]

2 - 2.

[Bardot]

2 love holds for Djokovic. 2-2

[david1610]

Castle playing spot the celebrity.
It's Castle's (undeserved IMHO) sense of self-entitlement that I hate most to be honest.
C'mon Andy!

[Mandiemoo]

Wish we were all there, should have shipped us & the Stirling barmy army in. That place needs a good old Andy chant going!

Cmon Muzz!

[david1610]

2 love holds for Djokovic. 2-2
Not worried about that. Andy holding through serving well is the critical factor at the start IMHO

[Stell]

3 - 2.

[Bardot]

Good serve. 3-2

[Mandiemoo]

Ooh, a little fire up jig thing there!

Cmon Muzz!

[mickeypops]

Another good hold, looking confident now. 3-2.

[roytennisfan]

3-2 good job Djok is missing second serves, hope he keeps doing it

[JAMES4578]

Fab serve from Andy after unfortunate miss,Djokovic stronger on serve thus far though. Tbh avoiding Castle by sticking with Sky Sports :)

[david1610]

All the energy on holding, try (though he won't!) not to run down impossible balls, stay focused and just go for it e.g. at 5-4 when Nole serves or during TB. Unless Nole gives some presents!
He has to be mature enough to curb his natural tendencies and manage his limited energy during the match. C'mon Andy!

[Stell]

Break point for Andy.

[Alis]

Bp folks!

[JennieF]

[Stell]

Saved by Novak.

[Bardot]

Bernardes will never intervene. :grrr:

[Mandiemoo]

Argh!! It was out!

Cmon Muzz!

[Bardot]

Djokovic saves 2BPs & holds. 3-3

[Stell]

3 - 3.

[Alis]

Okay, no joy that time - safe hold then try again.

[roytennisfan]

3-3 Andy must focus to hold now

[Mandiemoo]

Steady the ship now with a good hold.

Cmon Muzz!

[JAMES4578]

Not to be but Andy created chances, got to keep positive and Djokovic did show vulnerabilities!

[david1610]

Forget. Focus on your serving.
C'mon Andy!

[JennieF]

Great serve!

[JennieF]

And another! 40-0

[Stell]

4 - 3.

[Bardot]

Great pass. 4-3

[Alis]

Good hold.

[JennieF]

Woo! Great pass!

[roytennisfan]

Really solid hold with old balls 4-3

[supergran]

Come on Andy. Have taken to quoting Shakespeare on Twitter and only had one glass. It's the passion. COME ON ANDY!!

[JAMES4578]

Certainly good service hold for 4-3 and great pass to clinch it!

[JennieF]

I've had two!

[Mandiemoo]

Lip read Andy looking at camera, said 'Not my bag'

Cmon Muzz!

[david1610]

Change what I said about waiting until 5-4. Silly me. 4-3 break hold will do. C'mon Andy!

[JennieF]

Cmon Andy....get to the net before D does!

I will sit in the corner and blub like a little child.
And I don't care who knows.

Then I'll get rat faced.
LOL

[Bardot]

Great serving. 2-0

[Mandiemoo]

Right, someone pinch me.

Cmon Muzz!

I might just join you!

[mickeypops]

Yes, 2-0. I'm enjoying this!

[Sallydaisy]

2-0 in the 2nd set after Andy holds his serve.
:shades:

[-J-]

Solid hold, now some insurance would be nice
Cmon

[jagmad]

The GB crowed have turned up.
Top notch Muzah has turned up.
With his serve included.
And the Joker looks befuddled.

[Mandiemoo]

Must caution against getting carried away. There's a steely core inside Djokovic. Andy cannot take his foot off the gas at all.

Cmon Muzz!

[Stell]

2 - 1.

Got Andy on the TV and Strictly on the laptop.

[Bardot]

Big serving from Djokovic. 2-1

[-J-]

Sok just hold now
Cmon

[mickeypops]

Djoko holds, still looking a little ragged. 2-1.

[Alis]

No dice in that service game - just safe hold, Andy, and try again. My nerves could do with an insurance break!

[jagmad]

I might just join you!

OK ur on.

:wino::shelebrate:

[Bardot]

All the freeloaders...:rolleyes:

[Sallydaisy]

[greatunclebulgaria]

Just put the champagne in freezer :cauldron::cauldron::cauldron: blame me if it all goes wrong

[Alis]

Rats!

[Mandiemoo]

All the freeloaders...:rolleyes:

Should get John Bercow down in the front seats. A proper passionate Murray fan.

Cmon Muzz!

[Alis]

Just put the champagne in freezer :cauldron::cauldron::cauldron: blame me if it all goes wrong

I most definitely will!!!!!

[Bardot]

:big grin: 40-15

[jagmad]

Ooooooo that's gotta hurt straight in the net

[Stell]

Straight into the net by Novak.

[Bardot]

Ace! 3-1

[Stell]

You fantastic beauty!!

[Alis]

Yay!!!! Just three more games, Andy, any three will do.

[roytennisfan]

Wow ....some miss 3-1

[-J-]

Good lad now look for these opportunities
Cmon

[mickeypops]

Bouncy is really annoying me.....

[-J-]

Little glimmer
Cmon

[Mandiemoo]

Commies talking Djokovic down. Makes me nervous & Jinxy. If they put it over into BBC 1, I'll have to go behind the sofa.

Cmon Muzz!

[david1610]

OMG! All presents gratefully received!
3-1
Love the fact that Andy serves first now after the changeover. he can give it all to hold and if necessary tank Nole's service game.
Though a double break would be great!
David.

[Bardot]

What a pass!!! 0-40

[jagmad]

O m g.....

[-J-]

Cmon

Cmon

[tennis890]

I'm lost for words....this is amazing

[Stell]

A Murray domination happening.

[Alis]

[JennieF]

I'm floating.....
