Would a Djokovic Murray if they advance to the semi be a 8.30 UK start on Friday?

Murray comfortably through to the semis with a straight sets victory 6-3 6-3 6-1.
Im really liking Andy's new found attitude to the game he controls himself brilliantly on court now in the sense he very rarely loses the rag or screams at his box, Lendl must play a huge part in this new routine.
Utterly convincing to watch but Djokovic potentially in the semis is an entirely different ball game.

Quite right Andy, I said that about Murray earlier in the thread.
Djokovic won 6-4 v Ferrer in set 1.
Djokovic wins set 2 7-6 after a tie break. A big missed chance for Ferrer.

Watched the first set with Djokovic today and he did play well, although he missed a lot of break point opportunities.
I gather Murray also played well but didn't serve very well.
That's something that is going to have to change on Friday if he's going to have a chance of beating Djokovic.
Personally don't see Murray winning but hope I'm wrong.
Can't wait for tomorrow with Nadal and Federer!!

Actually think Murray will beat him on Friday though he will have to play out of his skin to do it.

This is where Lendl may be able to sort some things out for him.
IIRC, Lendl took a while to win his first major, largely because he was playing at the same time as Connors, McEnroe and Borg, wasn't he?
And he got the rep of being a 'choker' but he dug in and persevered and got there. Took him about 5 years from breaking through at top level to winning his first Grand Slam, but his record after that was just awesome. Meticulous - some would say obsessive - in his preparation for matches.
Didn't he get the guy who laid down the top court at Flushing Meadow to build him a replica at his home in the US to practise on?

Murray has currently lost the first three finals that he's made so the similarities between the two of them is quite amazing.
Lendl went on to win 8 Majors and only Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, Bjorn Borg and Rafael Nadal have won more than that since the beginning of the Open Era.
If Murray even wins half that number, he'll be doing well.

First set goes to Federer on a tiebreak. He started really well and broke Nadal in the 2nd game but Nadal came back at him before Federer finally took it on the breaker.

Second set to Nadal, 6-2 after a brief interruption for the Australia Day fireworks.
The match is definitely changing.

Nadal takes the 3rd set on another tiebreak.
Federer currently 4-3 up in the 4th.

Nadal wins 6-7 6-2 7-6 6-4 in around 3 and a half hours.
Brilliant performance by Rafa but it's another wasted chance for Federer. I really thought he would win today but Nadal is just such a wonderful competitor.
Can't wait for tomorrow now!

Federer gone.
Now all Andy has to do is beat Djokovic, then Nadal.
Easy.

Players are on court now and warm up about to begin.
Come on Andy, got everything crossed for you!
Just hope he leaves absolutely everything on the court and, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he must come off knowing that he's done his absolute best.

Important hold there from Murray from 15-40 down.
Djokovic is playing so well though but Murray did well to win it.

First blood to Djokovic as he breaks to go 3-1 up.
Murray drops serve on a double fault.
