Andy Murray has reached his fifth Australian Open final after coming from one set down on two occasions to beat Milos Raonic.
The Number Two seed won 4-6 7-5 6-7 6-4 6-2 in just over four hours. He will play Novak Djokovic for the third time in an Australian Open final. He has lost the previous three encounters to the Serb in Melbourne finals.
Raonic was competing in the second Grand Slam semi-final of his career and won the first set 6-4 and both players regularly broke each others serve. Murray failed to take advantage in the match until the final set when he quickly ran into a 4-0 lead, winning the deciding set 6-2.
