    Murray 1-0 Djokovic*

    What a way to start the final - a double fault. 0-15.

    The second point is a long rally which ends with Djoko returning that tad bit too long from the back.

    Murray then smacks an ace down the T, but it's challenged - the replay confirms it's an ace.

    30-15 - wait - make that 30-30 after Murray double faults again.

    The Scot holds. Djoko then points at a member of the crowd who is unaware that his flash is on his phone. Schoolboy. I think he was.

    I have to be honest and I think there is a slight advantage to Djokovic in this final. But it would be nice for Murray to win as he has not won it before.

    This is the last match of the season. Murray is tired but he is strong enough. It is more of a mental game now. But it is going to be tough.

    These guys go back a long time. They know each others games and match up and have similar type of games. The way Murray has come through the rankings, he has served his time and is now number one. he is going to lay it all on the line.

    Djokovic came through his game in an hour. Murray has spent seven hours on the court in his last two games. Murray needs to go out and put on one epic performance. But if anyone can do that it is him.

    BBC Radio 5 live's tennis correspondent Russell Fuller says that Murray has spent nearly three-and-a-half hours more on court than Djokovic this week, which somewhat alludes to how the Serb has performed.

    He suffered a blip in the first set against Austrian Dominic Thiem before coming through in three, and then just about got the better of the Raonic serve in the next Ivan Lendl Group game, coming out on top in two tie-breaks.

    He despatched David Goffin in 69 minutes, with the Belgian coming in for the injured Gael Monfils.

    Djokovic's semi-final was even shorter as he dismantled Kei Nishikori's weak challenge in only 66 minutes.

    This is the last time we will hear the Friday night dance anthems as the players walk out on to the blue court.

    Djoko first.

    Muzza second.

    Will that be tonight's outcome?

    It's worth adding to the stat from Murray's former coach: The Scot has played 82 (EIGHTY TWO) singles matches this season.

    Over the second half of the year Murray has been so impressive. We have all been keeping our fingers crossed and hoping this was the final match-up.
