Murray into Australian Open semifinals

Two-time runnerup Andy Murray has moved into the semifinals of the Australian Open with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 win over Kei Nishikori on Wednesday.

Murray, who has lost back-to-back finals at Melbourne Park, will next meet either defending champion Novak Djokovic or No. 5 David Ferrer.

No. 4-ranked Murray is on a 10-match winning streak after his victory in a tuneup tournament at Brisbane earlier this month.
