Raonic topples Murray in Tokyo

Andy Murray suffered his first defeat since becoming a grand slam champion as the brilliant young Canadian Milos Raonic took his scalp to reach the final of the Japan Open.

It seemed Murray was on course to come from behind to win the match when he led 4-1 in the deciding set, but the difference was only a single break and Raonic reeled him in, saving two match points and winning 6-3 6-7 (7/5) 7-6 (7/4).
