One crucial moment came at 2-2 in the second-set tie-breaker, when Murray stopped in the middle of a second serve to catch a white feather as it floated to the ground - and then double-faulted, giving Djokovic an opening that he gratefully accepted.I thought it was a good idea to move [the feather], Murray said Maybe it wasnt because I obviously double-faulted.

We tend to run each other around and play cat and mouse game, and its tiring. Its exhausting to play him.2015, Montreal Masters, final, Murray won 6-4 4-6 6-3 Murray snapped an eight-match losing streak against Djokovic at the Montreal Masters Finally, an eight-match losing streak that dated back to Murrays 2013 Wimbledon victory was snapped.Murray converted his fifth attempt at match point to end a two-year drought against Djokovic just hours after his coach Amelie Mauresmo gave birth.The Scot dominated the match from the baseline to claim an 11th Masters title. A look back to the 2015 Montreal final between Djokovic and Murray 2016, Australian Open, final, Djokovic won 6-1 7-5 7-6 (7-3) Murray looks on in dejection after another defeat Down Under Murray racked up five losing finals at the same Slam - an Open Era record - and appeared like a man with his mind elsewhere with fatherhood imminent.The match itself did not live up to the occasion and Djokovic made it look all too easy on his favourite surface, equalling Roy Emersons record of six Australian titles.Murray said courtside: I feel like Ive been here before. Congratulations Novak, six Australian Opens, an incredible feat, and incredible consistency the last year. Djokovic lifted the trophy for a record-equalling sixth time at Melbourne Park Murray won only five points in the first 20 minutes in a slow-burning contest in which the Scot racked up a number of unforced errors.Djokovic, 171-1 in his career when two sets up, made it 172 despite Murray taking the third to a tie-break.2016, Rome Masters, final, Murray won 6-3 6-3 Highlights from the Rome Masters final, as Murray faced Djokovic in a repeat of the Madrid Open final a week earlier Murray, who split from his coach, Amelie Mauresmo, sent out a warning ahead of the French Open by snapping Djokovics 17-match winning streak against Top 10 opponents.In a repeat of the Madrid Open final, which Djokovic won, Murray became the first British man to win at the Foro Italico since Patrick Hughes in 1931 and celebrated his 29th birthday in fine style, despite the Serb being fatigued following an epic semi-final against Kei Nishikori.The key for Murray was winning 82 per cent of points on first serve, as Djokovic lost for just the fifth time in nine months while the win was only Murrays 10th in 33 matches against the Serb. Murray defeated Djokovic in emphatic style to claim his first ATP Rome 1000 Masters title 2016, French Open, final, Djokovic won 3-6 6-1 6-2 6-4 French Open woe for Murray in Paris Murray suffered his eighth major final defeat as Djokovic finally took the Roland Garros title and with it his place in the highest pantheon of tennis greats.The top-ranked Serb became the first man since Rod Laver in 1969 to hold all four trophies at the same time after a convincing victory in his fourth Paris final, despite dropping the opening set.It was an all-too familiar feeling for Murray as high hopes gave way to helplessness in the face of Djokovics brilliance, with five of his final defeats coming against the man he first faced as an 11-year-old.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Brad Kaaya tries not to think about the last two games against Florida State.Tries to no avail, that is.The Miami quarterback still has all the plays that got away from the Hurricanes in those matchups etched in his mind, ones that ultimately meant that his team couldnt close the deal after holding fourth-quarter leads against their archrival.The next chance for No. 10 Miami (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) to end whats now a six-game losing streak in the series is Saturday night, when No. 23 Florida State (3-2, 0-2) visits.Not being able to finish games, Kaaya said in a quiet moment after practice Tuesday. It has been a killer for us.Finish has been a buzzword all season around the Hurricanes, and it was again Tuesday. Practice on another hot and sundrenched South Florida morning was winding down, sweat-drenched players were getting tired and it was showing in the effort they were giving toward the end of the workout. And someone wasnt happy.That someone wasnt a coach. It was Kaaya.He got on the group a little bit a couple times, just about their focus and execution, Miami coach Mark Richt said. It was hot, it was late in the practice ... and he let them know a couple of times.Thats not even close to the first time Kaaya has spoken up.If he thinks a team meal at a hotel before a game is a little too loud, he lets teammates know and they respond immediately. The Hurricanes rotate captains for each game, but whether hes out at midfield for the coin toss or not -- and Kaaya is one of the four Miami players picked for this game -- hes the undisputed leader of the locker room.They can see that even up in Tallahassee.Hes a lot calmer and more poised, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said. You can see the maturity as he keeps going. Hes just growing as a player, a very good player.Two years ago at home, Miami led 16-0 in the first half and 26-20 in the fourth quarter before falling 30-26 to eventual national champion Florida State -- the final margin in that game being the number off points the Hurricanes squandered with a short missed field goal and a blocked extra point.ddddddddddddLast year in Tallahassee, Miami was down 17-3 early and seemed on the cusp of getting blown out before rallying to take a 24-23 lead in the fourth. But that lead didnt hold up either.In both games, Dalvin Cook -- a Miami native -- ran for the go-ahead touchdown for Florida State.Its Miami week. It dont get no bigger than this, Cook said. This is one of the games you came to Florida State (for), to play in this rivalry. Were going to take full advantage of it. when you step in that stadium, man, its something you cant even explain. Its different.That it is, and this time, Kaaya is hoping for a different ending.He can reel off the plays that got away with ease -- including four passes in big moments that were batted away, three at the line of scrimmage -- though he wishes he could forget them all.They all could have been game-changing plays, Kaaya said.His third taste of this series awaits, and the stakes are high as always in this rivalry.The Hurricanes have a chance to remain unbeaten in the ACC, end that long drought against the Seminoles, probably push their rival out of the AP Top 25 and hand Florida State its first consecutive losses since 2011.Theres going to be a lot of excitement and a lot of fans there, Miami running back Mark Walton said. Dont make this game bigger than its supposed to be. Its going to be a big game, but dont make it a huge stage for us. Were going to try and go out there and be focused.In other words, theyre going to try to do exactly what their quarterback is telling them.It just resonates with me and a lot of people who were here those last two years, Kaaya said. It kind of sticks with you. You try not to think about it, but every once in a while you catch yourself thinking about it. Its something thats been a point of emphasis this entire year. ' ' '
