Andy Murray insists Novak Djokovic's emphatic victory over him in last year's final will not be on his mind when they meet in the Australian Open semi-final on Friday.

Djokovic won 6-4 6-3 6-2 to condemn Murray to his third defeat in three Grand Slam final appearances.
"It won't be in my mind. You can't think about the past," said Murray.
"I obviously learned a lot from that match, but on the day I will just be thinking about the tactics."

Murray suffered a pronounced dip in form after defeat by Djokovic in Melbourne 12 months ago, losing his first matches in the next three tournaments in Rotterdam, Indian Wells and Miami.

But he claims Djokovic's superb form for the rest of 2011, a year in which the Serb also won Wimbledon and the US Open, helped him get the defeat in perspective.
