Raghav_12 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 This is major news. Djokovic's run of being absolute invincibility seems to have come to an end. Nadal can take great respite in news, particularly when next grand slam is the one where Nadal is strongest :two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up: Djokovic Loses to Murray in Dubai Semifinals 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.

Zelig Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Honestly, the Joker should of lost to Murray in the AO. Scot had him on the ropes up at 2-1 and managed to lose the final two sets. Looks like Ivan Lendl is working his magic with Andy :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooda Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Djoks run of near invincibility was bound to end sooner or later, cannot match what he did last year, do not think anyone can. Glad for Murray he deserves the success with the amount of effort he puts in. Will be a great final, Fed is playing well. Fancy Murray to win this and it should give him great confidence. Very pleased for Del Potro too who is playing really well, just not quite there to challenge the top 4 though, hopefully at some point soon. Really want to see him win more slams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want to see him win more slams Joker has reached a stage in his career where he really doesn't (need to) give it all in ATP 250s any more. I'm a big fan of Del Po. He comes across as a levelheaded and genuinely nice guy. Check this video out and read the comments of the ball kid's father :icflove: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3efrkMA2CkI]Del Potro hit a ballboy in an eye (video & pics) - YouTube[/ame] PS: I personally hate Joker. Whenever he loses, it's always due to his being injured and not coz of the opponent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how that turn around had happened. Federer beats Murray in final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer beats Murray in final. Joker has got Rafa's number. The last time Rafa beat the Serb was back in 2010 London masters. They have met seven times since, that too every time in the finals.
