And Kerber breaks Serena yet again to win the 3rd set 6-4. Unforced errors in the 3rd set 17-3 again, very tight and sloppy play against the tough defense of Kerber.

Murray got a bad start to the final, but now it´s totally open. Long rallies seem to go to Murray in the 2nd set, but it seems he doesn´t get the easy points like service winners as often as Djokovic.
6-1, 3-3 so far.

Wow...5-5, 40-0 Murray and Djokovic with 5 consecutive points for the break, including a 36hit-rallye for deuce.
Murray with his typical self-talking and laughing in disbelief, Djokovic stonefaced.

It was never 'totally open', Murray fought hard in the second set after getting steamrolled in the first, but was overmatched in the end.

One crazy stat was that Novak won the last nine games in last year's final against Murray, then five in a row to start this one, so 14 straight against the #2 player in the world, pure dominance.
