Roger Federer thinks Andy Murray has had the wins he needs to restore full confidence at the end of a troubled season.

“It will be an exciting match, a good one to be part of. I hope I can play well. We’ve had some very good matches over the years. I hope on Thursday it will be the same."

Andy Murray is confident he will have little problem in stepping up his performance level for tomorrow’s Australian Open semi-final against Roger Federer, despite his low-key passage to the last four.
