Murray through to the semi's - 6-3 7-6 3-0 (Nadal ret)

Cilic next, he has just beaten Del Potro and Roddick so he must be playing well although they were both 5 sets matches so it might have taken something out of him?

All over Nadal quits

murray yet to drop a set

Federer through after trailing 6-2 and 3-1, he then won 13 games on the bounce.

Murray drops his first set of the championship, 6-3 Cilic and 1-0 up with serve in the 2nd.

Won the second and now level (ish) in the third.

I guess the lack of activity here means that people are watching (or not bothered)

Murray 2-1 up now in sets, fatigue could play a part now for Cilic.

Murray wins 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-2

well done andy

C'mon Tim!!

Some of the shots Murray pulled off were miraculous

All too easy for Federer this morning/evening depending on your hemisphere.

Tsonga looks like he doesn't think he's got a chance.

Tsonga didn't have a chance. Fed was too good.

No doubt he'll now be preparing a special top to show how many grand slams he's won to wear after the match on Sunday. I don't mind confidence, but that borders on arrogance and for that reason I really do want Murray to win (perhaps rummaging through his bag after to find the special top and throw it in the smug git's face)

I know what you're saying, but when you're as good as him I'd forgive him for coming out with a diamond encrusted gold raquet with "I am The Dogs" written on the strings which would be made from the hair of a unicorn.

Oh dear, time to get the new top out fed!

It's all to easy for Federer, Murray has frozen at the big occasion again

And when things aren't going his way the usual "injury" appears

He did not look interested in the first set and the first part of the second set. I think it will be over very very soon.

Tie break in the 3rd.

Some one pat Murray on the back...

...Quickly, he is choking!

Thank you Roger for beating that odious git.

As I expected Federer was too good. Murray did not do too much wrong but on the crucial points Federer had that touch of class. Still it's easily his best start to a year as he usually does not do well in Australia so lets hope he continues his form.

First of all congrats to Roger Federer on his 16th Grand Slam, an amazing achievement. (although im not quite sure why many (and all pundits on the BEEB were predicting otherwise)

Well done to Murray too, he has had a great two weeks and it's no shame being beaten by the best. He does need to work on certain aspects of his game, notibly the serve, you need to win cheap points at the top level (Sampras, Federer) if your going to win slams. Maybe Nadal has disproven this rule, but looks at the strain it has taken on his still young body. Murray has the frame to have a bigger serve, he should work on the at his game itself is actually very good.

he alos lost most of the BIG points today, hopefully he will start to win more of these points as he now is an experienced pro.

Lets not be too harsh though, Roger Federer is the best tennis player i have ever seen, and he seems to be getting better!!! i'm sure he has his sights set on 20 slams...this will ofcourse be difficult, but then this is someone special we are talking about here.

An amazing sportsman
