H2H is 9-7 in Djokovic's favour. They have split meetings this year (3-3). Djokovic leads 3-2 on hard courts however, most of which were rather tight affairs. Djokovic also won their only indoor match to-date, in Madrid 2006 in 3 sets.

Murray in 2 sets. Luckobitch's performance against Clwonga was horrendous. He will pay the ultimate price against the scott.

Hopefully Djoker can send Eel back to his coral reef. Nole will cruise in straights.

If it was just about the tennis would pick Murray, but Djokovic is so mentally tough.

Murray should have won the last match, but Djokovic handled the match points
(all 5) so much better. Feeling too close to call.

From his first performance, one has to surmise Mr. Djokovic's mind/body is not really in this tournament. Almost any other player in this tournament than mentally fried Mr. Tsonga would have likely bageled or breadsticked Nole in the first set. He hasn't been this bad since Mr. Federer iced him in Cincinnati. It's obvious that he would rather be back home tending his father. Haters that don't understand that don't understand the Serbian culture.

Even with all this against him, Nole managed to lift his level just enough to get past Jo in the first set and cruise through the second.

If he plays anywhere near this level against Mr. Murray, Novak will be well beaten by Andy, and for that matter, Mr. Berdych later.
If he somehow manages to put everything to one side, then it should be a good match.

I'm having a difficult time trying to get the HTH stats on indoor matches between these two, but from memory I believe they have very few or none. It really doesn't matter. It will come down to whose head is into this match and tournament more.

Respectfully,
masterclass

They played one indoor match in Madrid, 2006. Nole won in 3 sets. :)

I hope Nole, but with these two you never know. It depends on their form on the day. They're very equal gamewise, though Nole is slightly better in every regard.

Really.

Few would contest that Murray has a better first serve, volley and approach shots and possibly even a better overhead.

Most of the times I find these 2 painful to watch when they play each other but the Shanghai final was great. Hope we get a match with the same quality.

I think Murray will win in 3 or 2. He looks in better form atm.
