An easy win for Novak Djokovic as Murray's body failed to recover in time for their semi-final clash. Unsure of whether he should even be playing, and the potential damage he might be doing just by staying on court, this was an unrecognisable display from Andy.

While the pair exchanged early breaks, Novak soon realised that Murray was barely in a state to play. Taking total control of the match he dominated the first set, striking the ball cleanly, and with real power, into the space that the restricted Murray could not cover. Even when Andy created an opening with an aggressive groundstroke, he failed to finish the point, missing straightforward shots by large margins.

The second set continued in the same fashion with Murray 0-40 down after a couple of forehand unforced errors. A fine forehand on the turn chasing down a lob was a rare highlight from Murray but he dumped a backhand in the net to concede the early break. For a spell Andy decided that serve and volley might be a more profitable strategy and it worked well at times, showcasing his skills at the net.

Two break points on the Djokovic serve at 2-3 but Novak came up with a couple of big serves that Andy failed to return. The match finished with yet another break of the Murray serve. A horror smash from Andy landing at least 6ft out, having let the ball bounce first. It was one of those days.

Djokovic was impressive, and would have been a tough opponent even for a fit, on-form Murray. In truth Andy looked as though he didn't really want to be out there. Lacking a game plan or any sense of how he might put together a victory given his restricted movement,  Murray appeared embarrassed by his display, and was caught saying as much to the trainer when he took an injury time out to ponder whether he should concede the match, to protect his body from further damage.

The final score 6-2 6-3 but it might be more accurately described as a walkover due to the hip and ankle injuries Andy sustained the previous evening.
