After setting up his clash with Djokovic, Murray said: "It's always tough against Roger. I think the slams are where he plays his best tennis. "When his back was against the wall at 6-5 he played some unbelievable tennis. He missed some shots at the start of the fifth and I just stuck in there." As for the meeting with Djokovic, who thrashed David Ferrer in Thursday's semi, he added: "I didn't see much of his game although I heard about it. I heard he played very well. I will have to play my best tennis to win it."
