Andy Murray books semis spot in Melbourne

Andy Murray moved into the semi-finals of the Australian Open today – and set up a possible clash with Rafael Nadal – after beating Alexandr Dolgopolov in four sets.

The British number one, who was the last man to beat Nadal at a grand slam event after seeing him off in the quarter-finals in Melbourne last year, looked a touch vulnerable when he dropped his first set of the tournament but found another gear when it mattered to come through 7-5 6-3 6-7 (3/7) 6-3 in three hours and six minutes.
