Murray through to Melbourne semis

Andy Murray made short work of big-hitting Frenchman Jeremy Chardy today as he cruised into his fourth successive Australian Open semi-final.

Chardy’s high-risk game only sparkled sporadically and Murray was largely untroubled as he won 6-4 6-1 6-2 to move into a last-four clash with the winner of tonight’s meeting between Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
