Andy Murray 'expects' a place in the French Open final

Andy Murray eyes a place in the final of the French Open as he raises his expectation levels.

Andy Murray has raised his expectation levels by setting a target of reaching the French Open final.

The 27-year-old is delighted to be in the semi-finals of the French Open, but not yet satisfied.

"It's definitely a big achievement, but that's not what I came here to do. My goals are different and my expectations are different to a lot of people," he told reporters.

Murray's form had been patchy going into the tournament in Paris following back surgery last summer, but the Wimbledon champion has set his sights on beating Rafael Nadal.

Only Robin Soderling has managed to beat Nadal in the French Open during the last decade.
