Milos needs to practice slams more. That was weak.

Milos has only had 3 break chances in his last 7 sets. It's a mighty steep hill to climb now, you just hope he goes down fighting here and avoids a 6-1 closer.

Tough to watch... Looks like young milos with all the net hitting. Crowd is even more irritating.. Not that i blame them but espcially the wimbledon set - watching a bunch of xenophobic brexit cons cheer ever time a canadian hits the net against a scot is grating.

I'll admit I haven't watched Murray that much in 2016. Nothing about him really 'wow-ed' me in the past, but wow has his complete game ever rounded into form.

Just no nerves at all either.. All the right emotion. Looks like somebody who has been here before with his mental game in control.

In many other years Andy would be on a calendar slam himself. Novak just happens to always be there. Andy is playing like this because as soon as Novak was out his window was opened. Credit to him for taking it.

That bad call killed some momentum, could have been up 30-0 with a chance for an early break and then he lost some focus.

Unlike Friday, not cashing the chances in. Needed to break there.

Murray winning significantly more points on his first serve than Milos is the difference in the match. He got even less traction against Andy's serve than Federer's and couldn't keep his serve level close to the level he needed.

No shame losing to a guy playing the best tennis of his career. Milos didn't play his best tennis today but still managed to keep every set close and it's one of those things he will learn from in his first grand slam final. It looked to me like the pressure finally caught up to him as he wasn't enjoying the moment. Murray has been there before and handled the big points better.

65% of first serves won shows how good Murray was returning.

Murray, as grumpy as he is on court, is one of the best interviews in sports.

Very disappointed, but Murray had all the answers today. Well deserved win. I hope Milos comes back strong.
