LONDON (Reuters) - Andy Murray found himself in the crosshairs of a bullet-serving, net-smashing giant on Friday, but held his nerve to reach a second Wimbledon final and set up another meeting with great rival Novak Djokovic.

The second seed was a set down to the 6-foot-8 Jerzy Janowicz, but tamed the 140 mph serves that came hurtling out of the sky to move into Sunday's showpiece with a 6-7(2) 6-4 6-4 6-3 win that began in the afternoon sun and finished under the Centre Court lights.
