Djokovic rallies past Murray to reach Aussie Open final
Tennis Betting Lines
01/27/2012 -
Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Novak Djokovic will play for a second
straight Australian Open title after rallying for a thrilling five-set
semifinal win over Andy Murray in a rematch of last year's final.
Djokovic blitzed Murray in straight sets last year to win his second Aussie
Open crown on the way to a dominant season that included two more Grand Slam
titles and his ascension to the No. 1 ranking in the world.
It was a much different story on Friday in Melbourne, as Djokovic regrouped
after dropping a third-set tiebreaker. He then dominated the fourth set before
gutting out the last and claimed a 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, 7-5 triumph in a
match that lasted nearly five hours.
Djokovic, who first won this title in 2008, will take on 2009 winner Rafael
Nadal for the championship on Sunday. The super Spaniard topped Roger Federer
in four sets on Thursday to earn his spot in the final.
