Already up two sets and well on his way to his sixth Australian Open title, Novak Djokovic sent a message in the first game of the third set against Andy Murray.
Facing break point, Murray pulled Djokovic well out wide to the ad court and approached the net to try cut off Djokovic's angle. Somehow, the world No. 1 found one anyway, sliding into another preposterous backhand pass, this one just clipping the outside of the sideline.
Just cruel.
