Men's Match:

vs.

Milos Raonic [13] v Andy Murray [2] - Rod Laver Arena (NOT before 7:30pm)

Prediction:
Raonic - 5 Sets
 
Zero confidence in my predictions

Murray in 5- honestly won't shock me if Raonic wins, he is probably in the better form. Murray has the experience, going to tip the experience at this stage.

Hingis/Mirza in 2, but close sets, the Czech girls are pretty good.
 
I know the men's singles schedule is dictated by television but I still think it is unfair the winner of tonight's match only gets 2 days rest before the final on Sunday night compared to Djokovic's three days. Murray vs Raonic is 3-3 which surprises me.

In the past year Djokovic leads Murray 6-1 so would be a comfortable favourite should the Scotsman make it through to Sunday night. Raonic has never beaten Djokovic in 5 matches (http://www.stevegtennis.com/head-to-head/men/Novak_Djokovic/Milos_Raonic/) with the last loss in straights set in last year's AO.

Raonic proved he can tough it out in his win against Stan the Man and I think he can go to another level. Raonic in 5.

Hingis and Mirza to win in straight sets. Something sexy about Martina Hingis as a 35 year old playing tennis for the enjoyment.
 
Murray in 4
Hingis/Mirza in 2

Also being played are the junior semifinals and three Aussies are involved. Alex de Minaur (the sixth seed) is through and will play seventh-seeded Uzbekistani Jurabeck Karimov, while Ollie Anderson (unseeded) will play fifth-seeded Korean Yunseong Chung. In the girl's side of things Sara Tomic (unseeded) plays fifth-seeded Belarusian Vera Lapko.

Does it degrade the status of a Grand Slam event if the mixed doubles is played as the best of 2 sets with tie break if the sets are 1-all? Surely the mixed doubles can be left as a best of 3 sets.
