Djokovic or Murray: who will strike first on the road to Rio?

It is the first time two brothers have made separate finals at the same grand slam since Lawrence and Reginald Doherty achieved the feat at Wimbledon in 1906.

“Five finals is a great achievement”, said Murray.

“Andy [Murray] should have been in bed, I don’t know why he’s here taking photos”.

Who do we think will win? . “It doesn’t matter what’s happened in the past really – it’s about what happens on Sunday”, he said.

“It’s about what happens on Sunday”. “Hopefully it can be a different result”. “So now he comes back even stronger each time believing that he can do it. Yeah, he’s been in the last spot a few times and he’s really putting a lot of effort to try to get the trophy on Sunday”.

Sears spent a night in hospital, with Murray visiting, but was considered well enough to return home.

“I’ve played him many times and been in the situation before where I haven’t won specific tournaments, like Roland Garros for example, against players like [Rafael] Nadal who were dominating there”, the world number one said in his pre-match news conference.

In an unusual start, the first seven points of the match went against serve, with Raonic breaking at love and then facing triple-break point before holding for a 2-0 lead.

Raonic grimaced as he had his right leg worked on by a trainer after holding serve to trail 4-5. When Murray trailed by two sets to one it seemed that Raonic was on the verge of fulfilling the promise that has seen him earmarked as the best prospect among the next generation, but the 25-year-old Canadian appeared to suffer a groin injury early in the fourth set. “We had them on the ropes in the second set and they hung in there”, Nestor said of Murray and Soares.

“It’s unfortunate, it’s probably the most heartbroken I’ve been on court”, Raonic said of his injury. He only dropped his serve once in the five sets, and that in the opening game as Raonic came out all with all guns blazing. “I try not to watch, I find it pretty stressful so I won’t watch the match”.

But the second-seeded Murray, who is from Britain, earned a rematch by rallying to defeat the improved but still physically fragile Milos Raonic of Canada 4-6, 7-5, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-2, on Friday in a matchup of stylistic contrasts that lasted 4hours, 3 minutes.

But the two-time major champion insists he has nothing to fear against the world number one on Sunday.

The longest win streak ever belongs to Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver, who won an unprecedented 109 straight matches over a two-year period from 1983-1985. “I’m aware of that”, he said.

The No. 7-ranked Kerber hopes to take inspiration from fellow German Steffi Graf, whose total of 22 majors in the Open era Williams could equal with a win at Rod Laver Arena on Saturday.

Martina Hingis has been out of the singles game for almost nine years but on Friday the Swiss won the women’s doubles title with India’s Sania Mirza.

The Canadian battled on in an effort to grind out an unlikely route into his first grand slam final.
