An ill-judged drop shot saw her squander her first match point, but she took the second with an ace to seal a fantastic win, per tennis commentator David Law:Muller battled through a very tight clash against Troicki to win 6-3, 7-6(6) in just under 90 minutes.He broke the Serbian in his opening service game in the first set and and maintained his slim advantage to take the lead.He then saved two break points in the second set as the pair exchanged holds to set up a tiebreak.Muller missed his first match point at 6-5 ahead in the breaker but made no mistake at 7-6 to book his spot in the final.
