Nick Kyrgios's Australian Open odyssey is over following a gallant quarter-final loss to Andy Murray.
Murray upstaged Australia's exciting young tennis showman 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 in their last-eight blockbuster at Melbourne Park.
Kyrgios had been bidding to become the youngest grand slam semi-finalist since Rafael Nadal won the 2005 French Open, but instead fell victim to the class and vast experience of Scotland's two-time grand slam champion.
The Wimbledon and US Open winner snared three of the only four service breaks of the match and won the pivotal second-set tiebreaker to set up a semi-final on Thursday night against Tomas Berdych.
