It was a day of high drama for the top female tennis players at the Australian Open, with eight of the top seeds losing, another vomiting on court before eventually winning, and a former champion announcing that she was pregnant.

Well done to Andy Murray - now in the Semi Finals of the Australian Open. Next up is Thomas Berdych...

Is it the same Mystery Man that's always posting Villa transfer rumours?

Murray's playing well at the moment. He does seem to like the Aussie open - I think the final has been Murray-Djokovic a couple of times already.

Berdych was a total arse for most of that match. Good riddance - fecking automaton like Joe Coe Vitch and Raonic.

Hoping that Wawrinka upsets the cart.

Women's final will be a screamathon. Boring.

Murray has returned to some good form after last year's struggles, but he needs to cut out the sloppy errors.

So he's back to being a Brit again as opposed to a Jock for the time being.

I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that when a rally gets going, there's only one person who's going to mess it up.

2 games up to 3-2 down and had him at 4-2 in the tie breaker.

It's like us when we play Man Utd. Mostly we're easily beat, but the few times we look like we may win, you always know we won't.

I get that feeling here too...though the game is swinging wildly from one side to the other

He played well for first two and a half sets but then mentally fell apart.

The problem with individual sports is that when your mind goes you get a thrashing.

He needs to work with a sports psychologist, because his game is back to where it needs to be but he doesn't believe enough yet.
