    The services of Juan Martin del Potro is called upon to take the finalist through 12 gruelling rounds in the semi before Andy Murray scoops up the remains in the final.

    As has been the case in absolutely none of his 9 MS title wins, nor his USO win.

    .... but there was those two times I suppose

    Andy drops the first set, which going by the law of probabilities means he loses this match (having never beaten Novak when doing so).

    Hope Andy can disprove those odds

    Got too careless in the tiebreak, would've won that set against anyone else.

    I'm disappointed that it even got to a breaker, Andy was a break up twice. Your right that he would have won against anybody else.

    Courtney Nguyen
    ‏@FortyDeuceTwits Novak wins the first set in the breaker. Andy wins the first set in the wet t-shirt contest.


    Well then :D:o

    I can't wait the match, but going by Courtney's tweets they both lost serve at a specific end. I don't know how much effect the conditions are having, but it seems like it is causing a few problems.

    Nice to see Andy take a set off Djokovic for once.

    Yes Andy wins the second set, hope he keeps his head at the start of final set.

    Novak told off for sniping at the ball kids.

    By rights Andy could've been preparing his victory speech now.

    Djokovic was shouting. Looked like it was to a ballpoint, but Djokovic says it was to his coach.

    Yes! Well done Andy, I honestly didn't expect him to level this. I hope he doesn't come out flat in the 3rd.

    Don't think that's going to happen. I'd be surprised if Djokovic doesn't go on to win from here.

    That Serb is so classless. Disgusting human being. What the hell did that ball kid do to him? Starting on a child. I feel sorry for his kid if that's what he's like when he's in a mood. Poor child. All the money in the world doesn't bring you class.

    It might not have been at the ball kid.

    Ok, why did Andy keep hitting directly towards Novak? Seems like a bad idea.

    Murray needs to learn how to do a smash. Maybe Serena Williams could help, she's only down the road.

    The only major difference between these two is mental strength.

    Well this third set is one to forget for Andy, needs to rethink his gameplan for 3 setters
