Andy Murray: I never thought I’d reach a French Open final

Andy Murray produced one of his best grand slam performances to defeat defending champion Stan Wawrinka and become the first British man to reach the French Open final for 79 years.

Wawrinka was on a 12-match winning streak at Roland Garros, having overpowered Novak Djokovic in the final 12 months ago, but he had no answer to the brilliance of Murray.

Murray dominated the opening two sets, then weathered a Wawrinka fightback to win 6-4 6-2 4-6 6-2 in two hours and 35 minutes.
