Andy Murray has beaten Tomas Berdych to reach the final of the Australian Open in Melbourne.
The Scot triumphed in four sets, 6-7, 6-0, 6-3, 75 and will now face the winner of tomorrow's second semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Stanislas Wawrinka.
A delighted Murray said: "There was a little bit of extra tension - it was a big match. A lot was made about Dani Vallverdu, my former coach, working with Tomas.
"But we've been friends since we were 15 years old and I felt that the focus was unfair and unnecessary.
"This is sport - and there's more to life than sport. It created a bit of extra tension but everyone calmed down after start of the match."
