    2 up and a break up in the third. The good news for Murray continues. Just better not blow it tomorrow.

    Trying not to get ahead of myself but beating Djokovic in the final, a former winner, would be a beautiful thing considering his comments against him and his family either last year or the year before.

    Hopefully this is his time!

    I've had a couple of quid on Djokers from the start so win win. Actually I'd much rather see Murray win. Murray won his first Masters 1000 against Djokovic. Don't see why he can't win his first Slam against him either.

    Just needs to take Ferrer as serious as he would've taken Nadal.

    Andy just needs to focus on the Ferrer game and not get ahead of himself.

    Anyone else find that most sports articles, especially the headlines, are a pure pile of pish?

    Latest from the BBC, "Andy Murray targets Australian Open final."

    Like - he targets the Australian Open final. No *? How the * is that * news?? Hello?... He's only playing in the friggin semi-final tomorrow! What do you think he's going to do, retire and spend more time wi his family? Take up macramae? Join an order of mendicant Zoroastrian monks living in the hill-country of Tajikistan? FFS!

    Now if the headline was "Andy Murray decides no' tae target Aussie Open efter aw - despite already being in the piggin semi-final" - now that, that would be news, you tossers.

    But honestly FFS, he "targets the final".

    Makes it sound like he's just drawn up a * 3-year strategy plan, in which a surprise key element is botherin tae turn up for the semi tomorrow, as opposed tae having a right good lie in followed by an all-day ham shank. :rolleyes:

    Won the tie break. 1 Set all. Hopefully that helps him out. Making less errors now but still needs to step it up.
