6 Times Novak Djokovic Came Back from the DEAD! (& won the title)
Come back and win the point.
The most deftest of drop shots.
Phenomenal tennis from both until the final shot.
Particularly Murray when you consider all that he's had to put up with on the last couple of points.
Here's Murray. Championship punt.
Nicely done.
Brilliant. What a shot.
It's a sensible serve.
Right into the body there.
Brilliant.
Fantastic effort by Novak Djokovic.
Coming back from the brink of defeat.
He's done it. Victory for Djokovic.
Finish him off.
And now three points to do so.
Well, he went for that second serve as well, didn't he? 199.
Monfils.
Six points.
Wow, that was brave, wasn't it?
Going down the line with that forehand when the angle and the space was equal.
And that's what happens as a result.
What a shame from Monfils' point of view, but Djokovic now...
Look at that view he's giving the crowd.
Yeah, it's a match.
Djokovic does it in the end.
His unbeaten run continues this year.
But for Monfils, your heart goes out to him.
The effort he made, the match he played for two sets.
But ultimately Djokovic again gets the better of him.
A warm embrace played in a great spirit and great entertainment for this capacity crowd.
And now the emotion.
And in Dubai.
His fifth title in this prestigious event.
Mistakes in one.
Mistakes from the match-goals.
And he's moving forward again.
And again.
15-40, two match-goals.
He's ready.
Well, congratulations.
Djokovic played a good one.
A combat one.
Containing one.
And most importantly, a three-set match.
How will his condition be in the semi-final with Andres Sipi?
Game over.
Set and tournament victory.
Novak Djokovic.
One hour and 16 minutes.
6-4 and 6-0.
No.
Two.
Is that a beaten man?
Beaten.
Truly amazing.
Beaten himself.
Another match-point.
Let's go for that one-two.
Think he's hungry for it now?
Like seven games to six.
He betcha.
Five match-points saved.
Well, Fernando Gadasco is going to be a tough man to console this evening in Doha.
And I suspect it will be tough to get the smile off
Novak Djokovic's face
at dinner tonight
because he has pulled out
the most incredible win
on center court
to make it through
to the Doha final for a second year in a row.
Djokovic retains
the Qatar-ExxonMobil open cycle.
One of the best matches
we have ever seen
here in Doha.
In the 25 years
we've been coming here
Murray's winning run
is over.
The world number two
gets the better
of the world number one.
It was a duel in the desert
and it was Djokovic
who came out on top.
Two hours and 54 minutes.
The Serb wins.
It's a sensational backhand.
Once again Korda
outrallies Djokovic
as it is.
Championship point
for the world number 33.
Oh what an overhead.
All of Serbia
held their breath.
But Djokovic rocks solid
when it mattered most.
The ball just keeps coming back.
It's incredible stuff really.
The lob.
I mean that must have nearly touched
the top up top.
And it's landed
solidly in
but still too deep
to make it easy.
He saved a championship point
in the second set.
This time it's Djokovic's turn
to have a championship point.
Djokovic reigns in Australia
once again.
A win of mental fortitude
for the world number five.
He was pushed to the limit
by Seb Korda
who had a championship point
in the second set.
But it will be
a 92nd
ATP Tour title
for the great champion.
Holds his nerve.
And now just a point away
to completely lose his balance
there Djokovic.
Saved in style.
Rock solid from Djokovic.
Djokovic levels the match.
I don't know how he's done it
but he's done it.
4-2 down
and running on fumes.
What a warrior
this guy is.
He's the champion
in Cincinnati
once more.
A 39th
Masters title.
Surely
one of the most remarkable
of those finals.
That is a match
we will remember
for a very long time.
Seals it
on his fifth
championship point
after three hours
and 49 minutes
on court.
Remember
he was a set
and 4-2 down
running on fumes.
He saved a match point
along the way.
Somehow
he's found a way.
