Andy Murray a Match Away from History in Australia

Seventy four years have passed since a British tennis player has won a tennis major, but Andy Murray might just be the man to break the curse as he advanced to the finals of the Australian Open on Thursday in Melbourne. Defeating Croatia’s Marin Cilic in dominant fashion, the Scotsman let out a ferocious roar after notching the winning point.

Should Roger Federer defeat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the other semi-final we’ll be in for a rematch of the 2008 US Open where Federer defeated Murray in the Scot’s only other major final. Murry, the #4 ranked player in the world has become a mega-star in the United Kingdom as he has consistently risen through the rankings in years past. From what he’s shown so far in his young career many tennis experts have said it’s only a matter of time until he wins a major. His time may come soon as all of Britain will be on the edge of their seats on Sunday when Andy Murray takes a swing at history.
