Was Nadull playing in the first 3 sets? More than 3 hours for these sets.

Djokovic nearly choked the match from 5-2 in the 5th. Murray didn't take the gift at 5-5 blowing mulple BPs.

Hopefully Djokovic is fine for Sunday.

I think you're right. The doctor he had on board for a while was precisely a medical expert in this area. And homeopathy is no joke, I can say this from personal experience.

Ugh... I went to bed @ beginning of 4th. since it seems like Nole steamrolling. Woke up again at him leading 5-2 and I said bye bye. Didn't know Murra made it to 7-5. Andy is just missing the final 1%. He's stuck at 99, never getting to 100.

Very positive attitute from Murray under Lendl's guidance, it is very satisfying. I really wish the guy can take it one day.

Quite amazing just how many Rafatards are calling Nole out for faking injuries, then running fine.
Hilarious.

Obviously Nadal the Spartan who gets hurt 'worst pain in my life' when sitting in his chair, never conceives of exaggerating pain during a match, but Nole (the evil mastermind) is 100% clearly guilty of it. :lol: Derp.

Murray proves once again why he will never win a Slam. His pushing game, lack of balls, and lack of fitness were exposed against Djokovic(who wasn't even playing well himself).

Onward to the final for Djokovic, where I completely expect him to be 100% recovered from this match. He and Nadal know what to do.

This coming from a Roddick fan.

I really think Murray is very unlucky. He has to deal with 3 all time greats and beat 2 at least in order to win a slam. I bet he would have won few slams if he was born in the Hewitt Era (Transitional Era).

Can someone provide me with the Winner/UE stats for this match?

I had the TV on but admittedly slept throughout most of the match, but from what I saw very many points ended with unforced errors.

Djokovic was lucky to survive that. 2012 is looking very good for Andy. He didn't manage to defend his final points, but that doesn't matter. Another semi-final, a nice looking scoreline and a lot of points to be won in the next month or two.

I'm looking forward to your next tournament, Andy.

As expected, the haters are out in full force. Enjoy his losses while they last. He'll win that slam soon and then you'll have nothing to hang on to.

6-1 in the fourth! Yeah loads of luck in that!

I'm devastated for Andy.

So I'm guessing Djokovic's: I'm about to have an asthma attack and my lungs will explode-ploy worked. Andy should have been steam rolling in the third set, but let Djokovic's antics distract him. If Andy keeps losing these heartbreakers I don' think it will be good for him- he'll end up like Federer vs Nadal, unable to close out a match no matter how far ahead.

This match only proves that Murray will have a great 2012, I'm sure of it. His level is continually getting better and I'm sure we have not seen the best of him this year. This was an extraordinary match played with a great deal of quality. Certainly better than the other semi anyway. Could even go down as one of (if not the) match('s) of the year. Wonderful from both men.

I said before the Nadal-Fed match that whoever the victor between Novak & Andy was they would win the tournament. I'm not really one for saying no-one has a chance in a final but, I cannot in any way see Nole losing this AO.

Couldn't watch the match but sounds like a good one. I'm happy with the result, too. Hopefully we'll get some roast pig come sunday.
