Djokovic rallies past Murray to reach Aussie Open final
Tennis Betting Lines
01/27/2012 - Melbourne, Australia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Novak Djokovic will play for a second straight Australian Open title after rallying for a thrilling five-set semifinal win over Andy Murray in a rematch of last year's final.
Djokovic blitzed Murray in straight sets last year to win his second Aussie Open crown on the way to a dominant season that included two more Grand Slam titles and his ascension to the No. 1 ranking in the world.
It was a much different story on Friday in Melbourne, as Djokovic regrouped after dropping a third-set tiebreaker. He then dominated the fourth set before gutting out the last and claimed a 6-3, 3-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-1, 7-5 triumph in a match that lasted nearly five hours.
Djokovic, who first won this title in 2008, will take on 2009 winner Rafael Nadal for the championship on Sunday. The super Spaniard topped Roger Federer in four sets on Thursday to earn his spot in the final.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds
Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
