As we know this semi final is repeating version of last year Australian open final who won by Djokovic..but still the match was really interesting to watch..
It was really exhausting long rally semi final between Andy Murray against Novak Djokovic..It was five sets match and full of rally and action between these players,many game complete with more than 20 shots between them and more than 8 minutes duration.. both of them have running more than 5km.They have broken serves each other many times, this was really mental game..even the third set took about one and half hours to complete and won by Murray with tie break..fourth set was really belong to Djokovic and seems he will be able to win the match easily and even has 11 consecutive points winning between fourth to five set..However, Murray still struggled and has found his momentum back on the fifth sets when he left behind 2-5..He able to caught up untill 5-5 before Djokovic seal the match by 7-5 so Djokovic win 6-3,3-6,6-7,6-1 and 7-5
Even little bit disappointment will unable to watch Kim Sears ,beautiful Murray's girlfriend at crowds during final..but Djokovic deserved to win and proven his ability as number 1 seed in this tournament..

I was glad to see Djokovic finish off the match with a win. No disrespect to Murray but I just think we will see a much more thrilling final between Nadal and Djokovic. Both are proven champions who play with a lot of fire and energy. While this can also be said for Murray he does have the tendency to implode which could possibly have caused a very one sided match especially against someone like Nadal who can really put the pressure on when he senses weakness. All in all though like I said I am excited for the final and to see how excited and into the match the crowd will get.

Well, you have good points..he seems to be would won the match after win second and third sets, especially after he won tie break third set which really long set,lasting about 90 minutes..but he lose momentum and djokovic come back and win easily at fourth set..but again Murray come back at fifth sets...I wonder the reason he is unable to win last two game after caught up becomes 5-5 at last set..really sad for him. He actually deserved to win this match as well..

At the end of the match, Djokovic said pointing the baseline "these are our zones", which simply justifies the match as it had beautiful rallies. The only guy who can give djokovic a run for his money was Roger federer, who faced yet another defeat at the hands of his nemesis Rafa.
Djokovic has a great chance of winning Australian open for consecutive years but wait...wait...he has to beat Rafa whose game is very punishing indeed.

Well, I was watching the match until the tie-breaker of the third set, but I had to go working. In the few games I could see, I found a tired Djokovic as never before. I though it could be the hot temperature which had made him tired. But also I though he would recover because he is a great fighter and has a great play.
I was surprised about the play of Murray. I think he has enormously increased his technic and the fact that he is now under the direction of Lendl has helped him a lot to play much better.
Besides I saw also partly the game between Federer and Nadal. It has been an excellent game. They have played almost perfect. Both of them deserved to be the winner. Also in the game from today. I have seen a Nadal who is playing a wonderful tennis. I think the final will be worth to watch.
Although is not on your question, I would like to mention something about the woman final too. I think it will be a great final too and for me Sharapova is the favorite. His punches are very strong and are well placed. But she must avoid that her rival move her too much.
