In a repeat of last year’s Finals in the Australian Open, Djokovic vs Murray get set to battle once again – this time with a spot in the finals on the line with only Rafael Nadal standing in between them and the year’s first Grand Slam trophy. Having played each other 10 times, the Murray v Djokovic rivalry has been a close one with the Serbian number 1 edging out his British opponent six times while losing four. A lot has happened over past 12 months since these two squared off, so expect this Djokovic vs Murray 2012 Australian Open Men’s Tennis semi finals to be much different from last year’s 6–4, 6–2, 6–3 comfortable sweep by Djokovic.
Can Andy Murray hand world number 1 Djokovic a surprise defeat and get back to an Australian Open final?
Novak Djkovic vs Andy Murray
Both players have just dropped one set all tournament long, Djokovic losing one to Lleyton Hewitt while Murray dropped a set to Ryan Harrison. Despite Djokovic having a nearly flawless 2011, he hasn’t looked at 100% this tournament with slight signs that he might be nursing a minor injury. Even if Murray doesn’t expose such a fragile state, the truth will most certainly come out against Nadal who showed once again in his match against Federer that he’s willing to push his opponents to their absolute limit.
