As for Djoko/Murray, I mentioned at the start of the tournament that that was a 50-50 match and it was. It's not that Djoko was playing particularly poorly (even though both he and Murray were playing badly), but that it's an awkward matchup. Murray has defeated Djoko plenty of times on hard courts. His return is just as good, BH just as good, first serve is bigger although he didn't display it, volleys better, and his defense is just as good. If Murray comes to play, that matchup is always going to be awkward and tight.
至於Djoko/Murray這場，錦標開始時我提過這場比賽五五波，看來也是。不是說Djoko打得不好（雖說他跟Murray都沒打得很好），但這對戰很奇怪。Murray在硬地上打敗過Djoko很多次，他接發球很好，反拍也很好，雖然不太穩定但他的一發也很快，截擊不錯，防守更是絕佳。如果是Murray來打，比賽一定都是會比較接近。
On another note, the tour might want to take a look at the ugly nature of the Djoko/Murray match to see the future of the tour. Neither player could hit through the other on this court and because of the other's defense. There was no where to go. Every player is going to play like this in the future to maximize their chances because this style of play with today's courts yields results and reduces the variance in results, i.e., no ups and downs really, make the other player win with his offense and if his offense isn't good enough, then you win.
另一方面，官方可能要看看這場比賽的特性來想未來巡迴賽的樣貌會怎樣。因為對方優異的防守，沒有一個人能打出致勝球，這是沒辦法的辦法。每個球員未來都得這樣打來增加自己贏球的機會，因為這種打法最適合現今的場地特性，也減低了輸球的變因，也不會有什麼起伏。反正就是讓另一個球員用攻擊贏球，如果他攻擊不太好，那你就贏了。
