Murray wins thriller to reach Melbourne final

Andy Murray became the first Briton to reach three Australian Open finals after ending his grand slam hoodoo against Roger Federer in a five-set thriller.

Murray had never beaten the Swiss at a major but was a deserved 6-4 6-7 (5/7) 6-3 6-7 (2/7) 6-2 winner tonight as he moved into Sunday’s title decider against Novak Djokovic.
