Andy Murray beats Roger Federer to reach Australian Open final

Andy Murray will take on Novak Djokovic for the Australian Open title after battling his way past Roger Federer in Friday's semi-final.

The 25-year-old Briton had never beaten Federer at a Grand Slam but was a deserved 6-4 6-7 (5/7) 6-3 6-7 (2/7) 6-2 winner to set up a showdown with the world number one on Sunday.

It will be Murray's sixth Grand Slam final and a repeat of last year's US Open final, which saw the Scot clinch his first major victory with a five-set victory over the Serbian.

Should Murray be victorious against Djokovic, he will become the first player in the Open era to win his first two Grand Slams back-to-back.
