Djokovic gets to the 2012 Australian Open Finals – YouTube Video

Novak is Novak.. and this time he had also to survive a scare.

When leading 2-1 in the second set, he pulled up and clutched his leg to recover after a little while.

‘Luckily for me it wasn’t something that stayed there for long time,’ he said ‘It was just a sudden pain … David makes you run, makes you play an extra shot, makes you earn your points.’

But the Serb had some  other problems. ‘I found it very difficult after a long time to breathe because I felt the whole day my nose was closed a little bit. I just wasn’t able to get enough oxygen,’ he said. ‘At this stage of the tournament, when you’re playing somebody like David who has great shots from both sides from the baseline, makes you always play over five to 10 shots in the rally, your physical strength and endurance comes into question.

‘I think actually I’m not concerned. I’m really fit and I have no concerns of recovering for the next match. It’s just a matter of breathing better through the nose.’

Talking about Murray ‘He’s definitely very motivated to win his first grand slam,’ said Djokovic ‘He’s been proving to himself and to the rest of the people that the Australian Open is probably his best grand slam. ‘But on the other hand I have been playing quite well here in last couple years … it’s definitely going to take a lot of effort to be a winner from that match.’

We all wait for the 2011 final re-match.
