Image Source: XtraTime[/caption] Internet Desk: Defending champion Novak Djokovic survived five match points to beat Fernando Verdasco on Friday and leave everything ready for a clash in the Qatar Open final with first seed Andy Murray, who had far fewer problems than Serbian in Semifinals in his seventh consecutive victory over Tomas Berdych. On another cold, windy day, Djokovic prevailed 4-6, 7-6 (7), 6-3 after Verdasco, a skilled left-hander who ranked 42nd in the world rankings, controlled the first two sets to the last stages of tie-breaker. Murray defeated 6-3, 6-4 to Czech and third seed to move smoothly to the title game, making him the only tennis player to reach four finals in the 25-year history of the Qatar Open - where he lost The final of 2007 and was crowned in the following two years. The 29-year-old Scot, whose winning streak now extends to 28 straight games, added 10 aces and 22 winners in a convincing performance. "I'm looking forward to a great duel with Novak," Murray said. "This has been a perfect week to prepare for the Australian Open." Murray has beaten Djokovic in two of his last three matches - including a win in the Masters Cup final that closed the ATP season - but the Serb maintains a dominant 24-11 record in games against Murray. "We always have very physical and entertaining battles, with very long streaks," added Djokovic, who beat Murray in last year's French Open final. "Between the one and the two of the world, it is a perfect showdown." But Djokovic acknowledged that Verdasco had the chance to be Murray's next opponent for Saturday. Of the five match points that the Spanish had in their favor in the tiebreak of the second set, four evaporated by their own mistakes. "I think it was Fernando's bad luck, he was clearly the best of the two for most of the game and he should have won," Djokovic said from the field at the end of the match. "I think it was unfortunate ... it's definitely one of the most exciting matches I've played. I do not think I've rescued five match points so many times." Djokovic, the second seed, had not lost a single set heading into the semifinals. The Serbian broke the service of Verdasco in the third game of the third set to finally take the one that would be a permanent advantage in the encounter of two hours and 22-minutes. Djokovic, who only committed an unforced error in the final, sealed the victory by breaking the Verdasco service in the final game. Verdasco had last faced Djokovic in the second round of last year's Qatar Open, where the Spaniard lost for the 11th consecutive time to a first world number.
