"Katie has had a terrific run here and she has earned this moment. It is a big moment for her. Everyone I have spoken to is full of praise. Some players have ability, which she clearly has, but what she also has is a real hard-work ethic and that will take her further in the game."

Some quotes from 15-year-old Briton Katie Swan, who has reached the final of the girls' singles competition, which takes place on Rod Lever Arena on Saturday. Swan, who grew up in Bristol, lost the opening set 6-0 to opponent Dalma Galfi before winning the deciding set 7-5 and will now play Tereza Mihalikova in the final.

She said: "I can't really believe that I'm going to get that opportunity. I'm really excited and hopefully the nerves won't affect my game. Hopefully I can win tomorrow but if not, I just want to play my game and see how it goes.

"I went down pretty fast in the first set and I just had to stay strong mentally, every point counted," added Swan.

"I was struggling with moving and I took some salt, which helped a lot. When I was serving I felt my whole leg wanting to collapse. I've had cramps before but not that bad. That was tough.

"I saw the physio, so I'm better than I was on court, and they told me what to do so that tomorrow I'll be ready to go."

"I think Andy Murray will win the final, I really do. He has got his game back in place where we saw him win Wimbledon. He is serving aggressively and well.

"On his second serve he has to keep the speed and variety, but the rest of his game is looking great. And, more importantly, he is moving well, which he wasn't last year because of his back injury."

For those of you north of the equator who like to spend your Saturday evenings in the local ale house, Sunday's men's final might be a tad early. But the good news is, the BBC coverage will (possibly) soothe a sore head.

Murray versus Djokoivc will be live on BBC One, BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website. The build up from Melbourne will start on 5 live Breakfast from 06:00 GMT, while BBC One is on air at 08:15 GMT. The live text commentary will start at around 08:00 GMT.

Should Djokovic beat Murray on Sunday, he would become only the second man in history to win five or more Australian Open titles. Who was the first? Roy Emerson. But perhaps we're getting a little ahead of ourselves...

That's that, then. Djokovic has equalled Stafan Edberg and Roger Federer and shares top spot for the most Australian Open final appearances. Will Murray be worried that Djokovic has yet to lose an Australian Open final?

"Stan Wawrinka was not able to bring his 'A' game but on the other hand neither did Novak Djokovic. It was a match that presented opportunities for both players, but, despite being several levels below his best, Djokovic found a way to win."

Former British women's number one Anne Keothavong on Twitter:, external "Djokovic was not at his best but through to another Aussie Open final. If he plays like this in the final then Murray wins."

So what has Djokovic got to say about a Sunday showdown against Andy Murray? Not much, really. "Andy and I go back to when we were 12 years old, that's when we first played each other. We've known each other a long time, it's nice to play another Grand Slam final against him."

"Stan is a quality player," adds Djokovic. "I made my life very complicated on the court. Playing semi-finals against defending champion, there's a lot of tensions, a lot of emotions and sometimes you can't keep track of the score.

Asked whether he struggled physically, Djokovic says: "I had, my game depends on how well I move. I was too defensive in the second and fourth set and Stan stepped it up. After that I managed to stay consistent and tough in the right moments and served well when I needed to."

Wawrinka made 69 errors in the match so it is perhaps no surprise he returns to the locker room a defeated man. It was an odd match with a peculiar end.

"Credit for Stan for playing well," says Djokovic. "I think I played well 2-1 up and a break up, and I just played a couple of loose games, I allowed him to come back to the match."

The scoreline is perhaps unfair on Wawrinka because he doesn't deserve to beaten so soundly, but if you make so many needless errors against Djokovic then the top seed will punish you. A flick of the wrist from Djokovic, entertaining the crowd with an inch-perfect lob. 30-30. He delves a little further into his bag of tricks, producing a meaty backhand winner down the line for match point and Wawrinka nets. The defending champion is out and Djokovic is through to his fifth Australian Open final.

But what's this? The referee has reached five and the defending champion, his sweat and spittle still on the canvas, returns to his knees - another tasty backhand winner for break point. Djokovic holds firm in a crisis. From advantage to deuce to break point to deuce to advantage. Phew. Cat-like reflexes at the net from Wawrinka to bring the score back to 40-40, but Djokovic nudges ahead again and concludes an intriguing game with a majestic ace.

"It's an awful long way back now for Stan Wawrinka. He has handed out too many cheap unforced errors in the fifth set despite having the momentum after winning the fourth set. You thought he would be able to carry that on, but he hasn't.

"There's not been many long relays or top exchanges. We normally see rallies that go 15, 20 or 25 shots but not today because both players have not been timing the ball well. But hopefully we will still see some drama in the rest of this set."

Saarah Farooqi:, external What a nail-biting semi! I'm about to take off for Tokyo and won't know the result for another 12 hours. Fifth set tie break needed.

The pair firing blows from the baseline like two boxers in the final stages of a heavyweight contents. How many more punches has Wawrinka left to throw? Oh my giddy aunt, that was close. Wawrinka unleashes a mighty serve down the 'T' which turns out to be an ace by the width of a butterfly's wing.

From 30-30 to deuce, the world number four directing a tired drop shot towards the tape. Djokovic stepping in on the return, he's preparing to knock his opponent onto the canvas, and so he does. Wawrinka with a backhand into the tramlines. Break point. Wawrinka with a sloppy forehand and he's on the floor, and the referee begins his countdown from 10.

Alex Jacob White:, external Not paying attention to anything in this seminar because of this match.

Alice Stainer:, external Trying to achieve great things this morning but Wawrinka-Djokovic thwarting me. Exciting not the word. Come on Stan, you're the man.

The Fitphiles:, external Fair play to Novak Djokovic he's such a good example of a fair sportsman. Serious without taking it too seriously.
