Australian Open 2012 Semifinals: Federer versus. Nadal Will not Decide Grand Slam

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal did not exactly come with an epic semifinal match.

In either case, that will not determine the Australian Open champion.

Neither guy performed perfectly, but Nadal did everything essential to win, permitting him to succeed to his second career Australian Open Final.

Nadal might be no. 2 player on the planet, but he is not the favourite to win the title.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray have an improved chance of winning the Grand Slam.

First, Djokovic is the greatest player on the planet. He's rated No. 1, and that he continues to be on the rampage through Melbourne.

David Ferrer (No. 5 on the planet) could not even win a collection against Djokovic.

Djoker only has lost one set to date, which was as he were built with a two-set lead over Lleyton Hewitt. Apart from that little slip-up, Djokovic continues to be nearly perfect.

No matter how his complement Murray works out, Djokovic it's still within the zone heading in to the final. He's been kept in for more than a year now, and that he ought to keep it going.

Whether his semifinal is short or lengthy, Djokovic may have plenty left within the tank to win the Australian Open, if he helps make the final.

However, despite the fact that he's the heavy favorite, there's no guarantee that Djokovic can make the ultimate.

Murray has looked really good to date.

He dropped his first group of the Grand Slam. Since that time, Murray has not lost just one set.

Lots of people thought 2012 will be a breakout year for Murray. However, Murray would need to undergo Djokovic.

Murray has proven he is able to beat Djokovic (3-1 against him in 2008-09), but he went 1-2 against Djoker this past year.

Djokovic continues to be within the same zone as this past year, that will prove problematic for Murray.

With nevertheless, Murray is able to become elite.

If he is able to beat Djokovic, Murray is going to be riding a significant high. Murray has managed to get to 3 Grand Slam finals before. However, the magnitude of his semifinal wins haven't coincided together with his skill.

His past two semifinal victories happen to be over inferior competitors. Consequently, Murray hasn't had just as much momentum heading in to the final. With no momentum, he's gone lower silently.

As he did possess a large-time win, against Rafael Nadal within the 2008 U.S. Open, Murray was just 21 years of age. He wasn't quite ready to ride that momentum to some Grand Slam, especially against a far-superior Federer.

Now, Murray is able to use any (and all sorts of) momentum.

Basically, the 2012 Australian Open won't be made the decision by Nadal's conquer Federer.

Regrettably, Djokovic is playing better tennis, and Murray might have an excessive amount of momentum to beat.

While Nadal is playing relatively well and it has momentum, it will not be sufficient to win the Aussie Open.

Djokovic may be the polarizing player within this tournament. If he wins within the semis, he should continue winning. If he manages to lose, he'll give Murray enough momentum to defeat Nadal.

So, as the semifinal win was impressive, Nadal will not win the very first Grand Slam of the season.
