MELBOURNE, Australia –  Andy  Murray had just spent nearly five hours on court in an Australian  Open semifinal loss to Novak  Djokovic that ran past midnight.

Then he found out drug testers were looking for  him.

“Just a bit annoyed … I know the players go on  about it a lot, but they’ve changed these rules with the drug test,” Murray  said. “I’ve just done the drug test, the urine test

But there was more —  a blood test.

“They just told me I need to sit down for 30 minutes  before I can give blood,” Murray said. “I want to get out of here, so I’m  annoyed with that, which on top of losing a match like that, it’s really a  frustrating thing to have to go through at 1:00 in the morning.”

It’s not the first time Murray has criticized doping  control officials.

At the 2009 U.S. Open, he complained when drug  testers visited his Manhattan hotel room at 7:15 a.m. on a day off to test  him.

He said at the same time that three days before Wimbledon that year, an anti-doping official came his house in Surrey near London after 9  p.m., even though he had put down 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. as his one-hour “slot” to be  available to drug testers that day.

“I just think it’s a little bit in your face, the  whole thing,” Murray said then.

NICE CATCH: The star of one of the most-viewed  moments of the Australian Open wasn’t Rafael  Nadal, Roger  Federer or Maria  Sharapova.

It was 14-year-old ball boy Dylan Colaci.

In the third set of the Federer-Nadal semifinal on  Thursday night, the Swiss player missed on a first serve and then nonchalantly  hit the ball over toward Colaci, who was crouched beside the net.

Colaci reached out and made a one-handed, reflex  catch that brought a roar from the crowd  —  and instantly went viral on  YouTube. The video had been viewed nearly 2 million times in the first 24 hours  after the match.

“I didn’t have much time to think about it,” Colaci  said. “I just stuck my hand out and the ball just stayed there. I couldn’t  believe it myself but then I just had to get straight on with the match.

“As soon as I got off court everybody was talking  about it. My parents texted me and it was on Facebook.”

STREAK CONTINUES: Esther Vergeer keeps racking up  the titles at Grand Slams and adding to her incredible winning streak.

The 30-year-old Dutchwoman won the wheelchair  doubles event at the Australian Open on Friday with her partner, 41-year-old  countrywoman Sharon Walraven. They beat fellow Dutchwomen Aniek Van Koot and  Marjolein Buis 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.

Vergeer earned her 22nd Grand Slam doubles title and  ninth at the Australian Open, according to the International Tennis  Federation.

Vergeer has a chance to add to her title collection  Saturday when she plays Van Koot for the singles trophy. She’s also going for  her 444th straight victory in singles  —  a nine-year winning streak.

Vergeer thanked the crowd on Show Court No. 2 for  their support after her doubles win.

“Doubles is fun to play, and we had an amazing  atmosphere today,” she said. “It gave me a real kick to play here.”

COURTING ATTIRE: After reaching her first Grand Slam  final, the big question for Bethanie Mattek-Sands was what to wear for the  occasion.

The 26-year-old American, known for her sometimes  outlandish fashion sense, and her Romanian partner Horia Tecau advanced to the  mixed doubles final on Friday with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Sania  Mirza and Mahesh  Bhupathi of India in the semifinals.

They’ll play Elena  Vesnina of Russia and Leander  Paes of India in Sunday’s final.

Tecau has been in this situation before  —  he’s  reached the men’s doubles final at Wimbledon the last two years, losing both  times.

“It’s a huge one, obviously, being in any Slam final  no matter what one it is,” she said.

Mattek-Sands has made a statement with her outfits  at past majors. Last year, she wore a Lady Gaga-esque white jacket decorated  with real tennis balls on court for her first-round match at Wimbledon. She once  wore a low-cut leopard-print number at the U.S. Open, complete with a  leopard-print visor.

She already has some ideas if she makes the U.S.  team for the London  Olympics, too. “I wanted to do some gold, either get a gold racket or gold  shoes or something,” she said.

So what does she have in store for the mixed doubles  final?

“Actually, I might go shopping,” she said, with a  laugh. “It’s tough when you pack. I can only pack so much. I’m already over all  my baggage limits.”

FIRST TO FOURTH: Caroline  Wozniacki, who will lose her No. 1 ranking after losing to Kim  Clijsters in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, will drop to fourth  when the new rankings are announced Monday.

The WTA said Friday regardless of the winner of  Saturday’s final  —  Victoria  Azarenka or Maria Sharapova  —  Wozniacki will drop three places. Azarenka  or Sharapova will become the new No. 1.

Wozniacki spent 67 weeks at the top of the rankings  despite not winning a Grand Slam title. She’s already moved on, training in Dubai ahead of tournaments in Doha, Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami.

She’s also taking some time to pamper herself.

“Having a foot massage in the lounge in Dubai  airport. Feels amazing after a 14 hour flight!:)” Wozniacki tweeted Friday.
