<p>Andy Murray&#8217;s grandparents are facing a nervous wait as the tennis star prepares to play in the Australian Open final.</p>
<p>The Scot is on the verge of winning his first Grand Slam title when he takes on Serbian Novak Djokovic in Melbourne.</p>
<p>In his home town of Dunblane his grandparents Roy and Shirley Erskine are hoping Andy can make history and become the first British man to win a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry in 1936.</p>
<p>The pair are hoping it is third time lucky for the 23-year-old who has lost in two grand slam finals before &#8211; the 2008 US Open and last year&#8217;s Australian Open.</p>
<p>Mr Erskine said: &#8220;The first time Andy got to a final we had no idea what to expect but now we realise just how massive it is.</p>
<p>&#8220;We still haven&#8217;t decided where we will watch the game. Last year we went away to watch it with friends a few miles away.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think we want to be on our own, somewhere quiet so we can scream and shriek out loud at the TV.</p>
<p>&#8220;The nerves won&#8217;t be gone until lunchtime tomorrow when we will hopefully be celebrating a win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Erskine, who played as a goalkeeper for Hibs, also admitted it was difficult to think of his grandson as the international sporting star he has become.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;We&#8217;re really proud of him. We are proud of his whole family. It&#8217;s difficult when you are so closely related to someone in this position because you get so nervous for him and he is thousands of miles away.&#8221;</p>
