If you want, I can break down the match stats or show how this final fits into Djokovic’s overall career dominance.
📊 Detailed Match Stats
Here’s how the numbers explain Djokovic’s win:

👉 The biggest gap: Djokovic dominated second-serve points, constantly pressuring Murray.

👉 Djokovic created more than double the chances and capitalized better.
🧠 Tactical Breakdown
1. Relentless Defense → Offense
Djokovic turned defense into attack better than anyone at the time. Long rallies almost always ended in Murray making the mistake.
2. Backhand Dominance
Djokovic’s backhand was rock-solid and often pinned Murray into defensive positions.
3. Mental Edge
Murray actually competed hard in sets 2 and 3, but Djokovic:
- Saved key break points
- Elevated his level in tiebreaks (won 7–3 in the 3rd set breaker)
It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Where This Fits in Djokovic’s Career
- This title was part of one of the most dominant stretches in tennis history.
- Djokovic held 3 of the 4 Grand Slams at the time (Wimbledon 2015, US Open 2015, Australian Open 2016).
- A few months later, he would win the French Open 2016 to complete the Career Grand Slam.
