When was the last time Murray didn't earn a break point in a match? 2004?
Stan is little bit possessed now. He did do this to Murray earlier in the year though tbf. Muzza's new nemesis.
New top 4 IMO.
The Swiss are still represented.
That was on clay though where Muzza tends to suck the big one anyway.
What a rally.
Match point for Stan!
Stan boots Muzza out 6-4 6-3 6-2 to reach his first Slam semi-final! :bow:
Djokovic or the Colonel next for him.
Muzza. :doh:
On to Tokyo for him probably.
The honeymoon is over..
Wawrinka has been in the form of his life apparently.
I'm not surprised he won. But how he won, the score line, Muzza was not only beaten but humiliated.
Needs to go have a rest til the Aussie open tbh and then bring that home
Brad Gilbert is a lunatic.
Wow.
I suppose Murray's form had been worrying, but the way Stan played in sets two and three was incredible. Flawless tennis. Every shot you could think of played beautifully.
Fat Stan :bow:. Hopefully we get a replay of the Aussie Open match with Djokovic, but with Stan winning this time.
Muzza :haha:. Not a good way to go out. Unless he was carrying a genuine injury.
MS :haha:.Quote:

Fed, Muzza and Nadal have all gone out of a Slam in straight sets this year, Djokovic too if you include the Wimbledon final.
Until November when the second biggest event of the year, after Wimbledon, kicks off.
Maccy getting involved on BBC live text :bow:.Quote:
Heidi: What do I make of that? I think it's fantastic. We don't all love Murray...
Youzhny to be inspired by Stan's freak show?
Hope he goes all out for winners from the first point. He's not really going to win any other way.
Thought Murray was on at midnight :doh:
Wawrinka :bow:
Wawrinka is one of those players who on his day can beat anymore though this would be his first grand slam semi final, lacks consistency.....i remember him taking Djokovic to five sets in Melbourne and gave the serb an absolute pasting in the first set....can hit the ball as hard as Del Potro and has great finesse at times.Quote:

Djokovic wins the first 2 sets

Djokovic beat Youzhny 6-3 6-2 3-6 6-0.

Hlavackova/Mirnyi win 7-6 (7-5) 6-3. :bow:
Azarenka takes the first set against Pennetta 6-4.
Azarenka is serving for the match.
Azarenka wins 6-4 6-2 and is through to her second US Open final. :bow:
Serena takes the first set against Li Na 6-0. :lol:
Li Na breaks and leads 2-1 in the second set. :o
Serena is up a break now. :lol:
Li Na holds after 15 minutes and six match points. :lol:
Serena to serve it out.
Serena wins 6-0 6-3 to face Azarenka in a repeat of the final from last year.
Djokovic vs Wawrinka is on in a minute.
Break point for Stan!
Long rally, thought Djokovic was going to mess the smash up. Ends up saving the point though.
And a double fault. :doh:
Adv. Stan.
Stan breaks and leads 2-1 in the first set!
What a point!
Great dropshot from Djokovic.
Two break points for Stan! Another double fault. :haha:
What a shot to take it on the second of them. He leads 4-1 in the first set!
Adv. Djokovic on Stan's serve.
Terrible shot. :lol:
Deuce.
Adv. Djokovic.
