This unbelievable point saved Andy Murray's hopes of beating Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray hadn’t had so much as a sniff of a break of Novak Djokovic’s serve during their Friday semifinal. He got to deuce in the opening service game of the match, then didn’t win more than one or two points on Djokovic’s serve for the next 13 games. Then, down two sets at 5-5 in the third and with Djokovic looking sharp as ever, Murray hit two brilliant winners, including the one below, to get his first break points of the match at 15-40, converted the first one and turned what was supposed to be a step in Novak’s coronation into a new semifinal test.

That was, dare I say, Djokovic-esque: Going for it all while your back is up against the wall. If you’re going to go down, go down swinging, right?
