澳網決賽穆雷輸得沒面子 小德奪冠不忘感謝祖國

MELBOURNE - Third seed Novak Djokovic beat Andy Murray 6-4 6-2 6-3 to win his second Australian Open on Sunday, prolonging Britain's 75-year wait for a male grand slam singles champion.

Eye-balling Murray with intent across the net, Serbia's Davis Cup hero completely dominated the Scot who has now lost all three of his grand slam finals without winning a set.

Djokovic, who lifted his only previous major title in Melbourne three years ago, got off to a scorching start in energy-sapping heat supposed to favour fifth seed Murray.

Relentless pressure forced a forehand error from Murray, giving Djokovic the first set against last year's Australian Open runner-up who played with a tired, hang-dog look throughout a surprisingly one-sided match.

Murray, rattled by noise and berating himself angrily, began to unravel in the second set, screaming at his own coaching team to "be quiet".

A fired-up Djokovic took a strangehold on the final by ripping another big forehand down the line, a dejected Murray slumping in his chair muttering to himself in despair.

Djokovic went for the jugular, breaking for 3-1 in the third set with a breath-taking backhand down the line, the Serbian pumping his fists and roaring with delight.

Murrayimmediately broke back but Djokovic, ice in his veins, blasted a forehand cross court to go 5-3 up and finished the job with another forehand the Scot could only dump into the net after two hours 39 minutes.

Djokovic celebrated by throwing his racket, shirt and shoes into the crowd as a packed Rod Laver Arena went wild.

Murraywas bidding to become Britain's first male grand slam winner since Fred Perry in 1936.

He lost the 2008 US Open final and last year's Melbourne final in straight sets, both times to Roger Federer.

墨爾本公園拒絕新的王者。昨晚的澳網男單決賽，德約科維奇3比0橫掃穆雷摘得第二個大滿貫。穆雷則三進大滿貫決賽卻未能拿下一盤，英國人75年的大滿貫夢仍在繼續。

在兩人此前的7次交手中，小德4勝3負稍占上風。從比賽首盤走勢看，這將是一場勢均力敵的拉鋸戰，僅僅是穆雷的首個發球局就用了15分鐘。均勢一直到第10局才被打破，在一個超過38個回合的多拍拉鋸戰中，穆雷以一個失誤結束，士氣由此大受影響。小德趁機破發，6比4先下一盤。

首盤意外失利讓穆雷大受影響，第2盤中前半段幾無鬥志，比分很快就被拉開到了0比5。此後儘管拿下兩局，但已於事無補，穆雷僅在第2盤就送出13個非受迫性失誤。第3盤中，穆雷狀態有所回升，但其防守至上的打法抵抗不住小德的一次次進攻，最終3比6完敗。

“我嘗試去追趕比分，並且相信自己能夠逆轉。但諾瓦克（小德）的防守太出色了，我很難找到得分點。”穆雷不認爲自己少休息了一天影響了比賽，他說腎上腺素會幫你，“我在第3盤完成兩次破發，可還是3比6輸了，我努力了。”

這是小德職業生涯第二個大滿貫冠軍，2008年他曾在澳網決賽中戰勝特松加。贏球后的小德感謝了一堆人，包括教練、父親、兄弟、女朋友，還有給予過他傾力支持和鼓勵的塞爾維亞人民。
