It struck another blow for the old guard of Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer against the younger generation.
Murray said: "I expected the final to be closer, to be honest, but I also know how good Novak is there and when he's on his game and obviously highly motivated
"I saw before the final Medvedev said something along the lines of Novak having immense pressure on him, which is true, but those guys have been at the top of the game, they've been dealing with immense pressure their whole careers and they know how to deal with it and perform at their best level when it matters.
"The younger guys, for me, they've not shown that they're particularly close. Obviously what happened at the US Open, (Dominic) Thiem did what he had to do to win the event, but, if Novak hadn't put a ball through the line judge's throat, it would be the same outcome I think."
澳网决赛的结果对想打破三巨头垄断的新生代来说是又一次打击。
穆雷说:“老实说,我原本预计澳网决赛会更接近一些,但我也知道当德约科维奇处在状态时,澳网的德约科维奇有多棒,而且他动力十足。我在决赛前看到梅德维德夫说德约科维奇压力非常大,确实他压力很大,但是三巨头一整个职业生涯都处于巨大压力之下但还是能打出高水平,他们知道怎么处理压力,并且在最要紧的时候发挥出最他们最好的水准。对我来说,年轻一代们还没展现出他们已经相当接近三巨头的水准了。当然蒂姆在美网做到了他该做的事情赢了下冠军,但是如果不是德约科维奇打中了司线的喉咙,我认为最后的结果和澳网会是一样的。”
