Never makes things easy for himself. Expect five topsy turvy sets
I thought Murray would win in four / five sets... To be honest I've not been worried by his lack of form this year. He never does well until Queens usually and then seems to get into form as the Grass Court season begins
Well considering Murray has been bang average all season, you'd have to say that making the a grand slam semi final on his least favoured surface is not a bad showing, regardless of what happens vs Stan.
Credit to Murray for getting to the last 4, didn't think he had it in him with his form coming in to the tournament and he has now reached 23 slam semi finals, without doubt one of British sports greatest.

The run to the semifinal will help him in the grass court season, whatever happens now, as he was desperately short of "match hardness" before Paris
The way Novak is playing, you wonder how long he's going to continue. The desire has gone
The cynic in me suggests he's dropped a level just as they were really cracking down on doping and banning extra performance enhancers (Sharapova ban etc).
Amazing and typically Murray-esque game. Lose the first set? Tick. Get broken serving for the set? Tick. Get incredibly angry and then start playing like a demon? Tick.
I honestly don't know where all his wins come from, because he always looks as though he is 1 point away from disaster.
Him and Nadal could be epic, or it could be embarassing.

Murray needs to wake up a bit
Expect five topsy turvy sets
2-6 6-1 7-6
Stan in the semi.
Winner plays Nadal or Thiem in the final which will be tough!
Thiem v Rafa
Think it'll be Stan v Rafa in the final too.
But Thiem beat Rafa on clay recently, and I'd give it 60/40 that Stan wins as well. Should be two brilliant semi finals.

Novak Djokovic then loses at Wimbledon on the 2nd July 2016, and has been hopeless every since
Clearly both Novaks have been simultaneously Charltonised.

As regards Stan, I just don't know.
