Andy Murray in 'peak form' for Australian Open final

Britain's Andy Murray believes he could not be playing any better as he prepares for his maiden Australian Open final on Sunday. Nike sneakers The 22-year-old will meet Roger Federer or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga after coming from a set down to beat Marin Cilic. "This is the best I've played at a Slam," said the world number four, who also reached the 2008 US Open final. "Physically I'll be fresh for the final. Just comes down to who plays better. It's my job to do that." Murray dropped his first set of the tournament in his semi-final against Cilic, and was struggling for inspiration when he trailed 6-3 2-2. But, with a break point, Murray chased a Cilic lob back to baseline, spun and in the same movement, rifled an outrageous forehand pass down the line. I want to win it obviously for the people that I work with, for my parents... then doing it for British tennis and British sport would be excellent as well Andy Murray As a stunned crowd rose to its feet, a fired-up Murray pumped his fists and roared his approval. "They don't happen that often, so you've got to enjoy them," he said later. "It was really important because, I don't want to say the match was slipping away from me, but the momentum was definitely with him." From there, Murray swept to a 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-2 win over a tiring opponent in a minute over three hours. The Scot now has two days' rest before Sunday's final. Federer and 2008 beaten finalist Tsonga meet on Friday in the second semi-final, with world number one and three-time champion Federer the favourite to come through. "Roger's record in Slams speaks for itself," said Murray, who also tipped Federer to beat Tsonga. "He had a great year last year, making all four finals. The two that he lost were incredibly tough five-setters. "If I'm going to play against him, it will take a special performance to win against him, but I feel like I can do that. "Tsonga, he's one of the most exciting guys to watch because of his athleticism and the way that he plays. He's obviously had great results here in the past." In reaching the final, Murray matched John Lloyd's 1977 run but he has his sights firmly set on ending Britain's 74-year wait for a male Grand Slam singles champion. "I'd obviously love to do it," he said. "I want to win it obviously for the people that I work with, for my parents, who obviously helped me when I was growing up, then doing it for British tennis and British sport would be excellent as well. "But the pressure that I feel doesn't come from the people that are around me. They obviously are happy with anything that I do." Murray was congratulated by, among others, Prime Minister Gordon Brown. "I hope he wins this, as a major tournament," he told BBC 5 live. "It would be great news. He's a great tennis player and a great guy." 606: DEBATE Andy Murray is playing some sublime tennis at present Nike outlet mogsysherrflick And speaking at First Minister's Questions in the Scottish Parliament, Scotland first minister Alex Salmond congratulated Murray on today's win. "I am sure the whole chamber will want to congratulate Andy Murray on reaching the Australian Open final," he said. Cilic was playing in his first Grand Slam semi-final, and had been taken to five sets three times en route. The 21-year-old said Murray "deserved to win" but added: "I wouldn't say that I was 100%, but I gave my best, and that's the most important thing." The Croat rated Murray's chances of lifting the trophy on Sunday as "pretty good". He continued: "He reads the game easily, he can serve well. Very good overall player and not easy to play, especially on hard courts." http://14kmedia.com/profile/nikeoutlet1/nikeoutlet1.moguling.comhttp://blo9s.com/nikeoutlet1/http://nikeoutlet1.blog.comhttp://blog.mindviz.com/blog.php?f=nikeoutlet1http://blog.nineon.com/nikeoutlet1">http://nikeoutlet1.blogono.com/http://blogs.albawaba.com/nikeoutlet1http://blogs.cjb.net/nikeoutlet1/http://nikeoutlet1.casinoblogsonline.com/
