I don't see why Murray keeps getting so mad at himself. He's won the first set. He's playing better than Djokovic. All he needs to do is be patient and he'll probably win. I don't see why he is reacting so tragically to every error.
 
This match doesn't have a "fighting for Olympics final" feel about it, more like a casual SF in a Masters or something.

If nothing changes Murray should win this in 2.
 
I wonder why Nole continually chooses to be "off it", he at his peak after all. Hmm, I wonder if the opponent has something to do with it :)

He's a perfectionist, he knows how and why he loses points. Thing is, in the past he would dwell on them
 
these two semis are such studies in contrast.
although both "underdogs" were leading, delpo shows a lot more poise than murray. must hand it to delpo, he's one hell of a steady captain in the face of Fed Shankerer.

meanwhile, i still can't see why muzza needs to beat himself up like this against Novak Almostcantservovic.

why, muzza? why?
 
I don't know--they both seem into it to me.

Not to mention the pro-Brit crowd reminds me it's the Olympics.
 
i take a bit of comfort knowing that usually Djoko rise to the occasion at the second part of the match..
 
Nole's service games in the 2nd set have been great. Despite the low first-serve percentage (feels higher than Wimbledon SF though), I think it's been two straight love-holds.
 
The Federer-Del Potro match was epic, but I'll take this matchup any day of the week, even if it's less exciting here.

That last point was a perfect example. Not often you find a match where both player's backhands are so good. It's like a winner could be blasted from any of the four corners of the court.
 
how come Nole wins his serve games so easily and just can't brake Murray once? this is definitely not like him at all.

Federer hit quite a few backhand winners.

Yeah, Murray/Djoker is one of my favorite match ups in tennis.

It was way bette tennis. Than the serve fest of Delpo and Federer. Federer shanking badly....DelPotro choking at the big points.


At least this is Solid Tennis.
 
by the by, the crowd has been wimbledonny like throughout the week. i have been waiting for them to go crazy like at the other slams. but i guess, wimbledon's aura speaks for itself, eh.

Djok to hold
