The five set semi final between world no.2 and 17 Grand Slam winner Swiss Roger Federer and world no.3 Olympic and US Open champion British Andy Murray was a battle of titans and treat to watch both players never giving in.
Murray walks over to Federer for a winner-loser shake hand
Although Murray took the first and third sets quite easily 6-4, 6-3, Federer was not giving in and took the second and the fourth sets 7(7)-6(5) and 7(7)-6(2) after tough fight back and resilience from a not giving in Murray.
The fifth set seemed a formality as aging Federer seemed to have lost hope of over powering Murray and finally lost the set 2-6 and the match to Murray.
