Murray wins, but he didn't half make it difficult for himself in that fourth set. Should have been home and dry way earlier. Berdych raised his game considerably tbf but Murray has been unusually inconsistent throughout this tournament. Doesn't bode too well for a final against Djokovic. Here's hoping he gets to meet Ferrer instead (not that Ferrer isn't good, but he's no Djoko).

Game.Set.Match Murray!

He wins the tie breaker when Berdych looked like he was going to force a 5th set. Frustrating match with the windy conditions and it was pretty evident that Berdych was struggling with it more than Murray did.

My heart is at a consistent threat from watching Spurs, I dont need Murray doing it to me aswell. That was some tense stuff at the end there.

So the ground is being evacuated because of a possible tornado and they are still hanging around signing autographs :confused:.

There was a point in the fourth set when Berdych just seemed to think 'Ah sod it' and go for every shot, and that swung it back in his favour. I think if he hadn't won the tiebreak Murray would have had a hard time winning a fifth set. Whoever he plays in the final he's already got a big advantage for having already finished his match and having a whole day's rest, although I think that advantage would have been greater if the other semi had been completed tonight and the final was tomorrow.

An extra days rest could benefit Murray, hope he does it this time.

I think I'd fancy my chances against Ferrer the way he's playing at the moment.

Murray needs them to have a long match, not a walkover. Come on David!

Ferrer is playing well. The problem is that Djokovic is unreal.

Ferrer's started playing a lot better - when I posted before after the first 3 games he'd made more unforced errors than in the whole of the 1st set, and in those conditions! But you're right, Djokovic is playing bloody well today. He's got a second chance in this match and he's making the most of it. Excellent movement & positioning, and not missing much when he gets there!

Ferrer is pushing him now. The deeper this goes the more chance he has. No fitter player on tour and few with a better mentality.

This is Novak's to lose IMO. There are only a handful of players who can compete with him, and i dont think Ferrer is one of them. Hope im wrong, as id like a Ferrer vs Murray final, but i have a feeling that Murry will win whoever he plays.

What the hell happened there? Switched to ads in the midst of a crucial point :mad:

Edit: Ah switched channels I see. Still, strange timing
