Andy Murray: 'I am improving'

Andy Murray has said that he is improving as the Australian Open moves into the last four.

The British number one beat Jeremy Chardy this morning to set up a semi-final against either Roger Federer or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Murray insisted that he was starting to play better and seemed to enjoy having an opponent who was at their best.

"Today was the best I have played [in this tournament]," he said afterwards.

"I struggled in the last two rounds a bit and my last opponent (Gilles Simon) was struggling physically so it wasn't much of a match.

"Jeremy has beaten some great players so I had to come out sharp."

Murray, who is yet to drop a set in the tournament, is bidding to win the Australian Open for the first time.
