All eyes focused on Melbourne Park

TAB Sportsbet has installed Andy Murray as favourite for the men and Serena Williams as favourite for the women to take out the 2010 Australian Open with semi-final births to be decided today at Melbourne Park.

Murray will be desperate to claim his maiden Grand Slam title after breezing past defending champion Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals but Roger Federer, who fell in an epic five-set final to Nadal last year, along with Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko are well fancied to thwart Murray.

On the ladies side, Serena Williams has assumed favouritism after Kim Clijsters was eliminated in the third round by Nadia Petrova but Justine Henin, Venus Williams and Victoria Azarenka will be looking to stop Serena claiming her fifth Australian Open crown.

TAB Sportsbet will be offering LIVE betting on selected matches.
