Looks like he's going out, but regardless if he plays like this he has absolutely no chance against Djokovic. When Murray was winning Grand Slams it was because he was attacking and making things happen, since Lendl left he's gone back to being reactive. Against most people he'll win, although occasionally he'll slip up, but against the very best he'll lose nearly every time unless he goes back to taking the game to them.

He got away with it there, but he is going to have to change his approach and up his level a lot to stand a chance against Djokovic.

A good win for Murray in the end, luckily his opponent was injured or he could have gone out. A good result for British tennis but if he loses in the final it will be a poor result for Scottish tennis.

Classy behaviour from Serena after the game. And the first half of the Murray double comes in. Let's hope his brother can do the same, but I can't see it the way Djokovic is playing.

Well, Murray has more of a chance than Kerber had before her final, so you never know.

The tennis has been a lot more enjoyable than the football today.
