Andy Murray is expecting another epic battle between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the first of the Australian Open semi-finals on Thursday.
It's a clash we've been looking forward to since the draw came out and now finally it's arrived, the first time these two greats of the game have met in a Grand Slam semi-final since 2005.
With many pundits, journalists and players divided as to the eventual winner, Murray's predictably sitting on the fence.
"To be honest. It could go either way. Depends who plays well on the day," he said. "Rafa's obviously got a great record against him. The conditions in the evening, I don't know exactly who they would suit. I mean, they played a few years ago here, and it was an epic match. I'd expect it to be similar."
Murray has now made five Grand Slam semi-finals in a row, an incredible effort and the world number four is delighted with his consistency at the highest level.
"It's been a good run. I mean, it's not easy to do," he said. "It's happened often the last few years 'cause of the guys that are playing at the top just now. But, yeah, it's a difficult thing to do. It's good to see that I've been playing my best tennis at the slams because that's something the last couple years I wanted to make sure I was doing. That wasn't always the case. Good to see that's been paying off. I've been preparing the best I could for them. Thankfully the tennis has been good, as well."
