Murray's body language has been disappointing but you can't blame him. He's not played badly at all these last two sets. Just totally outclassed and he knows it.

It won't be better than watching it the first time.
But should be better than watching it the 100th, which I presume this will be the case for you

I think only a miraculous Federer return to form can stop Djokovic from doing the calendar Slam this year. He's the only one who's managed to push Djokovic these past two years, though even he couldn't get it done in the big matches.
Still Djokovic is going to get the non-Calendar Slam, which neither Federer nor Nadal ever managed. Have never understood why it is not given the same respect as doing all 4 in the same year. It's basically the same achievement, just in a different order.

Those two are not even remotely in the same league as Nadal, as much as I love Guga.
Nadal's complete domination of clay, and his combined record of 11-1 or something against Federer and Djokovic combined at Roland Garros, is probably one of the most singular achievements in sports history.

Novak wasn't this good till two years back and Federer was quite good a clay court player yes, tbf. However, there was Bruguera back in the day. Muster and Guerten were amazingly strong clay court players in their own rights. Would have been nice to see Muster v Nadal say.

You mean Bruguera, right? Never could stand that guy, but he was a tough claycourter. Was thrilled when Guga smashed him for his first title.
Novak has always been good on clay, he was making French Open semifinals back in 2007 and 2008. However he would always get stuck in Rafa's half of the draw for some reason. Also played some epic Masters series finals against him the year Federer won in 2009. That year actually, he was considered 2nd favourite for the French by some people, but lost to Kohlschreiber.
However, Murray's improvement on clay has been quite recent, until 2014 or so he was quite mediocre on that surface.
