If Murray gets to the final and plays Djokovic it will be one way traffic i think and it will not be Murray lifting the trophy. Hope i am wrong.
Bloody hell, just checked and according to what i have seen Murray and Djokovic have never played each other on grass. Well, maybe worth a bet then should they meet in the final.

Murray completely decimated Djokovic on grass in the Olympic semi final last year. Theres not a lot in it between the pair overall, as has been shown by the last few times they've met in slams (5 sets aussie semi final, 5 sets US open and 4 tight sets aussie final 2013). Add to that the home advantage and it really is a coin toss.

Don't be swayed by Murrays performance today. He was nowhere near his best against an opponent who is a lot better than his ranking suggests, and who played brilliantly. Murray found a way to win on guts alone today. His game was probably firing about 40%

Murray can beat Djokovic if they both make the final.

Well played Murray that took some guts. I never really know whether it's better to cruise through a match or be battle hardened after a match like that.

We will tell in the final (hopefully) as Djokovic has barely broken sweat yet.

If Del Potro is fit and plays to the same standard he did today, then Novak will have a very tough match on his hands.

Undoubtedly he can, not saying he will but he has a fair chance.

[OCD]

Great match.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Any updates on how the tie breaker is going?

[OCD]

Djokovic won it convincingly. Going with serve in the 4th set, 3-2 Del Potro.

[Goldie.7]

Jheeze this match is going on forever!!

[Monty]

It's brilliant, brutal, savage stuff.

I'm only half watching while trying to write some emails but there's far too much grunting and groaning for my liking, I've had to switch it off as I've got the windows open and don't want anyone walking past to think I'm watching gay porn.

Brilliant from Del Potro - I hope he wins now, say 12-10 in the 5th! The only trouble is Murray may not finish his match tonight, unless he wins 3-0 in quick time, which is doubtful. Not good if he has to finish tomorrow and play 24 hours later with no rest day. Stupid Wimbledon officials should have put Murray on first!

[OCD]

I'm not sure what the cut-off is. I think it was something like 10pm last year when he raced to the finish. They're on centre court so they can close the roof and put the lights on if needed. If it wasn't for police restrictions on the end time, they could play all night if they wanted. Some matches in the US Open go on until 2am local time.

Fabulous tennis match this - both will be shattered at the end which is not bad for Murray.

[Monty]

If Del Potro there can't beat Djokovic I don't know if anyone can.
