Court drama: Tension for Kim Sears as boyfriend Murray crashes out

Andy Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears could only watch sadly today as he crashed out of the Australian Open after a thrilling five-set match against Novak Djokovic.

The British number one looked set to serve for the match but squandered three break points and succumbed 6-3 3-6 6-7 6-1 7-5. The semi-final defeat will be hard to take for the Scot, who hoped to reach his third successive Australian Open final.

The drama on court was echoed in the players' boxes. As the world number four trudged off court, the world number one Djokovic's girlfriend, Jelena Ristic, jumped for joy as he collapsed in victory.

Djokovic will face Rafael Nadal in Sunday's final, with the Spaniard having defeated Roger Federer in the other semi-final.
