An impressive Andy Murray comfortably beat Kei Nishikori in straight sets to set up a semi-final clash against either Novak Djokovic or David Ferrer.
The British number one had little trouble completing a 6-3 6-3 6-1 win to reach the last four of the Australian Open for the third consecutive year.
"It was tough. I didn't serve well but the returning was good," said Murray.
Djokovic and Ferrer meet on Wednesday for the chance to play Murray on Rod Laver Arena at about 0830GMT on Friday.
