Don't particularly like or dislike the lad. But anyone who thinks that this has been an easy journey and natural talent alone has got himself where he is now, at the top and enjoying all the trappings of success, is kidding themselves.
I'm sure if one spent a week following some of these players as kids watching both the "winners" and "losers" on the circuit, living away from home as kids, having very little time for anything outside tennis including friends and family, training every single day of the week when not playing, being told what you can and can't eat etc etc, then it would put a different perspective on the likes of Andy Murray's achievements. And that's without the voice of that mum or dad in their ear the whole time.

So I say good luck Andy. You earned it.
Added to that he attended the school in Dunblane at the time of the attack on his fellow students. ... shows a level of strength of character to get over that

Even when he did the BBC interview just before winning Wimbledon you could see he got emotional even when he tried to talk about it
Well done. It seems unfair to have the semi finals played on different days, giving 1 finalist 2 days to recover and the other only 1, but I'm not complaining!

Djokovic or Wawrinka wait for him in Sunday morning's final.
Really hope he wins here, this must be what his fourth Australian Open final now and he always gets cut up when he loses it
Had some dollar on Muz 3-1, so happ days.
Djok or Super Stan will provide a bigger test than all opponents played so far
