    Just on Novak

    I've come to the conclusion he is just trolling with all the 'i've got no energy and can't breathe properly' routine he pulls. Think about it, he is fine the whole way through the tournament until he gets to the finals. He usually wins after losing the set where he basically concedes, you can turn it around mentally but if you're physically shot it isn't possible to start playing on your normal level.

    He said it's his allergies appearing and then disappearing throughout the games. I don't see why he would try and look weak in front of his opponent on purpose.

    To lure them into a false sense of security perhaps?

    tbh, if he said the pill he was taking a senzu bean you would believe him anyway.

    Dagger believing in flying pigs isn't out of the question if it comes from Novak's mouth.

    Why would he struggle on purpose for that long and lose 2 sets in the process just to troll his opponent?

    Because the fact he lost 2 sets had nothing to do with his 'injury'?

    Q. How well were you aware of his physical presence, especially in the fifth set? He was breathing heavy.

    ANDY MURRAY: He's done it many times before. He runs very well even when he's breathing heavy. That's something we spoke about before the match.

    Even if he looks tired or he's breathing heavy, you just kind of got to put your foot down on the accelerator and not wait for him to miss because he's hitting the ball so cleanly, as well.

    If he is tired, which both of us will have been tired at different points during that match, you know, he's hitting the ball so cleanly, he's going for shots and making them, shortening the points.

    I was ready for that. He was similar in the last match. But he moved fine.
    Well Murray knew about it anyway so there goes that theory.

    Murray played very well then no doubt about it. I just brought that up because it was in the 2nd and the beginning of the third when Novak looked like he was struggling the most and those were the sets Andy won. I don't think Novak was trying to troll Murray, he was genuinely out of breath.

    How is the theory gone, murray pretty much reinforced it with "He's done it many times before." If andy thought it was some kind of condition he would say so.

    Take your wenger blind fold off.

    His breathing problems are well known. Andy probably wouldn't know the exact problem.

    Nah murray was just "lucky with net cords" and a "pushing the ball back".

    How can you honestly be so naive to think novak has magical illness where he looks completely gone (i'm talking on retiring from the match type of fatigue) and then recovers to an even more impressive physical level to the one he started out with? If it was any other player you would question it but because it's novak you can't be objective.
