Federer looked a spent force, barely any 1st serves and some awful errors in the 5th, made it waaaayyyy to easy!

Murray drew out what should have been a straight sets victory into a five-setter. He was the better player throughout. He only dropped his level at the end of the fourth. And that game in the fourth set where he handed Federer a break, but a classic customary lapse is of course always essential. That Federer took it to five shows how incisive he is in tie-breaks and how he can instantly take advantage of an opponent's dip with one great shot to turn matches on their head.
The slight bitchiness between them was odd. Federer seemed tetchy from the first set. Even Mirka had a go at the camera. It just shows how tense it was really.
Murray has only had one long match, so it shouldn't really affect him for the final. Murray's backhand seemed to be back to it's best and he'll need it to be against Djokovic. He has to serve like he did today too.
Azarenka v Li about to start. :popcorn:
I'm going for Azarenka in three. Li has looked excellent, but Azarenka can call upon her inner GHEL at times and is the better player overall.
At least it shouldn't be a walkover like women's finals often are.
Li Na was serving for the first set, Azarenka has three break points now.
And she broke back, 4-5 Azarenka trails.
Set point for Li Na!
Deuce.
Set point for Li Na again!
Good point.
Poor return, deuce.
Another set point for Li!
And a double fault gives Li Na the first set 6-4!
Azarenka. :haha:
Azarenka breaks at the start of the second set, 1-0.
Li Na has injured herself. Not in a good way.
Play is back on now.
Three break points for Li. :lol:
All of them gone!
Great forehand down the line from Azarenka. She holds, 4-2 in the second.
Li breaks back, it's 4-4 in the second!
Not for long, Azarenka breaks back. :lol:
She is serving for the second set now.
Azarenka takes the second set 6-4!
On to a decider.
Holding serve is proving quite difficult.
Time for the Australia Day fireworks.
Li Na is down again. Her head hit the ground. :sick:
Just showed a replay of it, nastily went over on her left ankle, back of the head hits the court as she goes to absorb the shock. Ouch.
Li Na has another medical timeout, she still seems a bit groggy.
Doesnt sound good
Play is again back on.
Two break points for Azarenka.
Azarenka breaks and leads 3-2 in the third set!
Azarenka is pulling away now.
Or perhaps not. :lol:
Break point for Li!
