Tennis: Andy Murray Defeats Djokovic In Dubai by mukina2: 4:33pm On Mar 02, 2012
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Novak Djokovic lost for the first time this season, falling to Andy Murray 6-2, 7-5 Friday in the semifinals of the Dubai Championships.

The third-seeded Murray, who lost to Djokovic in the Australian Open semifinals, broke the top-ranked Serb to go up 4-2 in the first set and then saved two break points to make it 5-2.

Murray took a 3-0 lead in the second set but Djokovic rallied to tie the match at 5-5. But Murray won the final two games, clinching the win when Djokovic sent a forehand long.

The loss ended Djokovic's 10-match winning streak this season.

Murray will face either Roger Federer or Juan Martin del Potro in the final.

Novak Djokovic saw it coming based on his comment immediately after the Aussie Open 2012 semi final clash btw them. Congratulations to Murray and I hope he'll repeat the feat @ the remaining 3 grand slam competitions of 2012!

Maybe he will be able to win this open.

This is a shocker. I think Djokovic just let him win this one because this guy has not been able to live up to the hype being accorded him by the British media.

murray is just an average player, he has been taken to the greenlight by british media, who loves celebrating mediocrity especialy from one of their own. Murray wil never win any grand slam title as long as Nadal, djokovic and old roger remains in the game

Under achieving useless English people. I am sure this worthless victory by Andy Murray, will be a breaking news in sky sports. Useless country. Let murray come win a Grand Slam now. Never, no British can do that.

If only men were God. English hype or not,murray is a hard working guy,who worked hard to get to where he is today,he has been losing to djkovic,but he kept rising up after each defeat,and now he has reaped the fruit of his labour. Now that he has defeated the big serb,i hope he goes on to win the tournament and that this victory gives him a good moral boost to go on and win djkovic in the grand slams.Go murray,you rock cheesy

Almost unbelievable!!! He learnt a lot from their last game in Australia. It takes a whole lot to beat Djokovic, if you doubt, ask Nadal or Federer. Thumbs up Andy. wink

Djokovic what happened?

Djokovic what happened?

He's exhausted. And this will be his undoing this season. He won so many tourney's and earned so many points last season that defending them will break even his iron clad will. Unfortunately unlike in team sports tennis players have to peak every day, every match. Its a very hard sport.

Having said this, please take nothing away from Andy. He's a very good player. One of the few on tour having a positive head to head against Fedex. His problem has always been upstairs, a perenial choker. But with Ivan the Terrible in his corner, perhaps the good days are here. Its always nice to have more competition at the top.

Good job Andy. I don't want to see Djokovic win a title this season. I only hope Roger can step up his game now.

Andy murray =arsenal fc so much hype noting to show 4 it, grin
Re: Tennis: Andy Murray Defeats Djokovic In Dubai by sirabbey(m): 10:47am On Mar 03, 2012
Most good thing in live come to men in turn. Djokovic lived in Roger and Nadal's shadow for so long but eventually broke loose and is now celebrated. Maybe it is the turn of Andy to break loose too, let us wait with bated breath and rejoice with him if and when it happen.
For the records Andy Murray is Scottish and not English.
