Intro:

Andy Murray and Nick Kyrgios spoke to the media after the former beat the latter in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Tuesday (27th January).

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray, Sixth seed (on getting through to the semi-finals having only dropped the one set):

"Yeah, I think, you know, for me tonight it was a tricky one to judge, to say how well I played, because I found the conditions difficult tonight. So I tried to use the conditions to my advantage and played a slightly different style than what I had been in the other matches. I would say the match against (Grigor) Dimitrov was a very high level. It was a clean match. Both of us were striking the ball well. And, yeah, I made improvements with each of the matches. But then tonight, you know, I just tried to play the best with what the conditions were allowing you to do, and I think I did that quite well."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Andy Murray, Sixth seed (asked if he was surprised to see his semi-final opponent Tomas Berdych defeat Rafael Nadal):

"Not really, because Tomas had played very well so far, up to today, and Rafa's form obviously had been a bit up and down. He was coming in having not really played much tennis at all for quite a long time. And when he was playing towards the end of last year he certainly wasn't fit, so I wouldn't imagine he would have been practicing loads either. I wasn't too surprised. I mean, Rafa nearly got himself back into the match in the third set, but he was clearly not playing so well at the beginning."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Nick Kyrgios (asked what he will learn from his quarter-final loss):

"I was hurting out there, so physicality is a big one. My mentality, I thought I had a couple dips out there. I need to stay consistent. But just in general, the forehand return, I didn't think I was getting on his serves tonight. I thought he served really well. A lot of variety. I thought if I could get that second set it's a totally different match, but, you know, he won the second set and he was too good."
