Djoko looks unplayable now. Anyone would look tired.

What a beautifully angled shot near the net for 4-1 in the 3rd - if you are going to dominate the men's game and make it a borefest play the game like this.

Novak holds all four slams - even if he doesn't beat the all-time slam record of Federer's (and given the state of the tour its looking shaky) this is a unique, perhaps once in a lifetime achievement.

Four in a row on three different surfaces is the greatest ATP achievement of the open era imo

Match was pretty dull aside from a fire start by Murray and the dramatic wobble at the end which obviously didn't matter. I don't think Djokovic was unplayable by any means - occasionally excellent but Murray was barely competitive for most of the last hour.

Roll of honour -

Men's singles: Novak Djokovic
Women's singles: Garbiñe Muguruza
Men's doubles: Feliciano López & Marc López
Women's doubles: Caroline Garcia & Kristina Mladenovic
Mixed doubles: Martina Hingis & Leander Paes
Boys' singles: Geoffrey Blancaneaux
Girls' singles: Rebeka Masarova
Boys' doubles: Yshai Oliel & Patrik Rikl
Girls' doubles: Paula Arias Manjón & Olga Danilovic

ESP with the women's singles, men's doubles and girls' doubles; FRA with the women's doubles and boys' singles; SRB with the men's singles and girls' doubles; SUI with the mixed doubles and girls' singles. Danilovic is the first 2001-born Slam champion, her dad is a famous basketball player I think. I saw her at Les Petits As last year and she was impressive even then.
