Been a really high-quality match so far!
-
I guess there not the only ones that get some enjoyment from potentially seeing Murray slamless.
Which, I guess, speaks volumes about them as people.
-
Murray has just hit a wall here. Doubt has crept in.
Kudos to Djoko for upping his game...Murray has still got time to respond but must hurry.
-
Crucial set coming up here.
-
Nole fighting back...hold on Andy!
-
Here we go!
Long way to go yet.
-
Nole ain't gonna give this up easily
He's tough. Especially over the past 18 months.
-
Would laugh so hard if Novak came back and won this.
It would be unreal if he did, and I think Murray would never recover.
But he won't. Murray has lost from 2 sets up only once in his career. In 2005.
-
What a time for Murray to break!
2 sets up...one more Murray, one more!
-
Vital hold there...could be another tiebreak here...
-
Hold on Andy...
-
Break followed by break. 4-1 Murray second set, still in control but needs to apply more pressure here!
-
Come on Andy, come on...this is the time.
-
Murray wins first set after epic tie breaker.

Nole in 4.
Probably the most likely outcome. According to the bookies anyway.
Only thing I can really say with much certainty about this one is that neither player will win in straights unless the other has a really bad day - they're too close on current form.
If I was a betting man, I'd be going for Nole or Andy in 4, or Nole in 5.
Edit: Murray 3-1 looking tasty on Betfair @ 7.8. Ditto Nole 3-2 @ 6.6.
-
And so it is Nole in the final, after he overpowered a rather off colour Ferrer. Think the final is going to be very, very close. I'd make it 60/40 in Djoko's favour purely on reputation and history, but I think this is Murray's best chance in a final yet, given his form.
-
Murray good under pressure there.
5th Slam final...surely this time?
-
This is about as well as I've seen Murray play, the Olympics final excepted.
-
Murray just hitting the ball a bit harder after that first set, kind of like he was just testing the conditions and has now found a game that is working brilliantly. Just shows the variety Murray has to be able to do that while with Berdych he only really has one game to go to.
Exactly. Murray is the Chameleon. I still find it amazing how he can tailor his game to an opponents weaknesses.
-
Murray doing his only-wait-until-the-second-set-to-get-out-of-bed thing. Double break up in the third, looking good despite Berdych's big hitting and terrible conditions.
-
And it's Berdych Murray will face in the semi final after he beat Federer in four. Not actually all that surprised by that - Berdych (like Del P) is the kind of hitter who can give anyone trouble if his sights are lined up.
Not entirely sure what I make of that...Berdych has beaten Murray before in a Slam and has the power to blow him off court again, but then he's far less consistent than Federer and could easily make a bunch of unforced errors and fall apart. You just don't know what you're going to get with him...at least with Federer it's the devil you know.
Anyway, guess we'll find out on Saturday.
Looking forward to the Djokovic - Del P QF today...if Del P is on song that will be a cracker.
-
That second set killed Cilic's challenge. Murray now a double break up in the fourth and utterly dominant.
-
Is it me or did Murray not realise the match had started until the stadium started to fill up.
Well, for some reason he was in zombie mode until the middle of the second set. God only knows why. It happens every so often.
On serve in the third now. Crucial set this.

And it goes to 5.
Murray started to come back into it later in the 4th though. Here we go...
