Caught a bit of it, Murray looks sharp and he seems to be hitting through the court quite well. It's unfortuante that he has Djokovic on his side of the draw this time as you would think Djokovic will be too strong. I would have maybe fancied him against Nadal.

Nadal - Federer tomorrow, Murray - Djokovic Friday. Doesnt get much better. Why do i have to work lol If Fed plays like he did against Del Potro I reckon he will beat Nadal. Unfortunately for Murray I think he might fall victim to the Fed express again if he makes it past Djoko. I want to be proven wrong too.

Yea, I missed the Federer - Del Potro match but I couldn't believe that he beat him so comfortably. Glad I have tomorrow off work :lol:
I think Djoko is obviously the favorite against Murray but after seen Djokovic today Murray certainly has a chance. I hate in when Djokovic gets like that, was just kinda moping around the court as if he was injured and I was just saying to myself, "fucking call a time out and get medical attention if you're hurt, if not man up and look lively!". It just must be annoying as the opponent to see him walking really slow in between points as if he's carrying an injury and then during the points he's sprinting around the court like there's no tomorrow.
But yea, tomorrow should be good, I want Rafa to win but this is why I'm loving mens tennis at the moment because with the top 4 all being the last 4, we're guaranteed 2 great semi finals and a great final.

Epic match, but sadly never expected Murray to see it out even at 2-1 up on sets.

Murray is unfortunate he's around during the best era ever in men's tennis imo, hopefully training with Lendl with sort out the mental side of his game, because he's got the ability to win a major, and when he wins one, I'm sure more will follow.

On a tennis forum i visit, someone posted a video of Djokovic taking something seemingly suspicious in the change of ends against Murray. Probably nothing but it did look a little odd. It was during the 4th set, it was as if he was trying to conceal it. Probably just posted by a Novak hater.
Regardless, Murray came very close, those break point chances at 5-5 in the 5th set were absolutely key. Novak is just on another planet atm. Nadal fighting hard in this 4th set though, maybe we are heading to a 5th set?
