Overview

Djokovic has won two grand slams in the calendar year with the French Open being the only tournament which eluded him of a calendar slam. The duo met each other last in the finals of the Rogers Cup where Murray got the better of the Serbian in three sets.

Murray won the first set but the Serb rallied to come back into the game and take the second set. However, the Briton broke Djokovic in the final set to clinch the tournament, laying the premise for an interesting contest between the two.

Both players have been in brilliant form throughout the tournament, having got a bye in the first round. Djokovic is yet to drop a single set in the entire tournament thus far with the closest he came to dropping one coming against Bernard Tomic, who took him 7-6 into a tiebreaker, which he eventually won.

Meanwhile, Murray has also conceded only one set thus far, against John Isner where he had to forgo the first set on a tiebreaker. However, his brilliant record against the American shone through as he grabbed the next two sets to progress in the tournament.

Both players are in great form coming into the semi-finals, with Djokovic having lost only seven games in the quarter-finals, while Murray managed to put one over by losing only four.
