    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Andy Murray, 2015 Australian Open beaten finalist:(On Novak Djokovic appearing to struggle physically in the second and third sets)

    "I don't know. I don't know. I have no idea. I mean, it's obviously what he thinks. I would hope that that wouldn't be the case. But, yeah, if it was cramp, how he recovered from it, that's a tough thing to recover from and play as well as he did at the end. So, yeah, I'm frustrated at myself for letting that bother me at the beginning of the third set, because I was playing well, I had good momentum, and then just dropped off for like 10 minutes and it got away from me. So that's the most frustrating thing because I thought I obviously had opportunities in the first set. I couldn't quite get them. I managed to sneak the second. Then obviously was that break up in the third. So, yeah, there was definitely opportunities there."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Andy Murray, 2015 Australian Open beaten finalist:(On how he got distracted by Novak Djokovic's physical struggles)

    "In all matches you concentrate on your own end of the court. That's just a basic thing to do. Sometimes when you play, like here and the US Open, because they have replays after every single point, you're often waiting before you serve whilst they're showing the replay. It's very difficult to not be aware of what's happening down the other end. But, yeah, I play enough matches to be able to handle that situation better. That's what I'm saying. For me, that third set was what was disappointing because I feel I could have done a bit better."
