Djokovic wins an epic semifinal vs. Murray – 2012 Australian Open – youTube Video

That was remarkable! Novak looked dead tired only after the 2nd set and then he somehow managed to regroup to get back a win this incredible match.

To be frank Murray, that displayed a very good tennis, had to take advantage of the struggling Serb. In a way he tried to make the point to last as long as he could, bur evidently that was not enough.

‘Andy deserves the credit to come back from 2-5 down. He was fighting. I was fighting,’ Djokovic said. ‘Not many words that can describe the feeling of the match.

‘Evidently it was a physical match … it was one of the best matches I played. Emotionally and mentally it was equally hard.’

‘To be honest, I think I matured as a player. I started to believe on the court I could win majors,’ he said. ‘Rafa and Roger are the most dominant players for the last seven, eight years. … It was very hard to take away the titles from them. They will not give you the titles. You have to earn it.’

‘I’m extremely delighted to be in the final,’ Djokovic said. ‘What can be a bigger challenge than playing against Rafa Nadal, one of the greatest players ever.
‘I’m going to try to recover. Obviously it’s going to be physical as well. So I need to do some push-ups tonight.’
