Andy Murray wins five set thriller to secure place in Australian Open final
ByReporter
Andy Murray will play Novak Djokovic for the fourth time in an Australian Open final after he came from behind to win a five-set epic against Canada’s Milos Raonic.
Murray’s pursuit of a third grand slam title looked doomed when he twice trailed by a set but the Scot proved his resilience again on Rod Laver Arena to win 4-6 7-5 6-7 (4/7) 6-4 6-2.
It means Murray goes through to face Djokovic in Sunday’s showpiece, when he will have to record only his second win in 12 meetings against the Serb to clinch a first Melbourne crown.
