Australian Open 2014, Stanislas Wawrinka v Tomas Berdych: live 09.06 Wawrinka 5-3 Berdych* Berdych gets his feet all tangled up as he tries to work his way round a service return and follows up with a forehand error on the next to give Wawrinka a mini-break. Berdych responds by charging to the net to slam dunk a volley for 15-30 but slaps another forehand into the net at full-stretch after good movement at the baseline from Wawrinka. It's a first break point opening for Wawrinka and the first of the match. And oooh, Berdych overhits a regulation volley at the net to hand the Swiss a break. 09.00 Wawrinka* 4-3 Berdych Berdych manages to pass Wawrinka with a cracking service return before Wawrinka sparks into life again and races to 40-15 by moving his opponent around the baseline and firing down a couple of winners. The first set remains on serve when he rattles down another ace. 08.57 Wawrinka 3-3 Berdych* Boom. Berdych fires down successive aces, one an out-swinger followed by one down the T before he allows Wawrinka to get involved but when the Swiss does he lashes out at a forehand. Wawrinka makes amends on the next, jumping on top of a short return to whallop a forehand back which Berdych is all at sea for. It doesn't matter though as he goes on to hold. 08.54 Wawrinka* 3-2 Berdych Wawrinka has his chest puffed out and is in control and at home on the Rod Laver Arena. That win over Djokovic has clearly given him belief and he wraps up an easy game to love. 08.51 Wawrinka 2-2 Berdych* Wawrinka and Berdych exchange a few forehands for the longest rally of the match so far (14) with the Swiss flashing one out of Berdych's reach. Wawrinka shows the array of weapons he has in his locker as he hits through a sweet backhand which fizzes past the advancing Berdych for 15-30. The big-serving Berdych, though, sees off the threat of Wawrinka by firing down a couple of big aces. 08.46 Wawrinka* 2-1 Berdych Wawrinka cuts short the opening rally on the first point with a deft drop shot and makes a quickfire dash to the net for the next to dispatch another winner for 30-0. He goes for a hat-trick of net winners at game point but hits long and then a backhander lands over the baseline to hand his opponent an opening at deuce. A timely strong first serve is too good for Berdych and an ace on the next point wraps up the game. 08.43 Wawrinka 1-1 Berdych* Berdych has settled into his own service game and races to 40-0 up but overhits a volley when advancing to the net. No need to panic as Berdych fires down his first ace of the match. 08.40 Wawrinka* 1-0 Berdych (denotes next to serve) Wawrinka showing signs of nerves on his opening service game as he misses the first couple of first serves. He begins to find his rhythm for 40-15 and an unreturnable first serve on game point allows him an early hold. 08.35 The players are out on Rod Laver and going through their warm-ups. Berdych didn't win a single title in 2013 so onwards and upwards for the Czech this year. 08.30 Wawrinka has a tattoo on the inside of his left forearm with the words of Irish poet Samuel Beckett which reads: "Ever tried. Ever failed. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. After ending his 14-match losing streak against Djokovic, think Stan's in need of another trip to the tattoo parlour for an update. 08.15 Berdych's progress into the last four here has been so serene that most talk centred on the No 6 seed has been on his awful choice of outfit. The Birdman has opted for a sort of early 90s Colchester United FC strip along with some not very fetching rouge shorts. What would the Wimbledon officials have to say about this.... 08.00 Morning and welcome to coverage of today's semi-final which features two last-four debutants in Melbourne in Stanislaw Wawrinka and Tomas Berdych. Wawrinka, the No 8 seed, stunned Novak Djokovic and the crowd gathered on Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday evening and is desperate to add to that fantastic success by reaching a first-ever grand slam final with victory over Berdych. Berdych pulled off his own upset two days ago when he overcame third seed David Ferrer in four sets but the Czech trails 8-5 in the head-to-head count with Wawrinka winning three out of their last four meetings in 2013. Victory for Wawrinka could set-up a potential all-Swiss final at Melbourne Park. Yes, Roger Federer would have to deal with the small matter of defeating Rafael Nadal but Federer would like nothing more than to see Stan the man succeed. The former world No 1 is a close friend of Stan's and said of his win over Djokovic on Tuesday. At the end I was standing up, hands in the air like him. When he wins big points, you do fist pump. I high five with Mirka. We watched the entire fifth set together. It was amazing. Roger high-fiving Mirka. Now that's something I'd like to see on GoogleBox!
